Blog give away winner

Thank you for all who prayed and entered. Since I have...erm....a little fabric stashed(haha), I will be doing another one in the future. I promise we did it fair since both little Thorn and I just went to confession on Sunday, we scrambled all the papers, cut evenly and she pulled one from behind her back. I did not, however have my lawyer present for the drawing. I may have to do that next time.
We have had really bad weather here and normally I don't like it and suck at driving in it but having a horrible cold, that is going into my chest now, so I uber suck at driving in this. They have not touched our complex with salt or a plow. I must go out and battle this today taking the boys to therapy, picking up from school. I need to get human again quick.

I'm snowed in

And iced in. I hope to get some photos later today. This is the second day the kids have been out of school. I have refrained from putting too much political "stuffs" on here. Other than the GOP's backbone, the rest has been nauseating. I hope we keep the power today. So far, so good. I am not taking it for granted, however.

Snow and Sunday

I had some scary events over the past week that including a schnocker full of snow that dumped here on Friday. I had to pick the kids up from school in some really bad slick stuff and many people went off the roads or just could not make it up the hills to get there. We made it home safe late in the afternoon. Mr. Thorn had to come rescue us at my parent's house. I told the kids that God is giving everyone free sno-cones and then dipped Tupperware cups in the snow and put flavorings on them to prove my point. They thought that was cool and funny. I went out in the snow with them on Saturday, got little work done and did manage some photos. At one point during the storm I apologized to God and then said aloud that I wished I lived in Florida. Again, I am sorry God for my weakness in the ice and snow. I get that way(but then you know that).

So I am sipping my coffee....

and outside my office window is splashing and a wild commotion! Apparently, a small animal got in our pond during the snow and freezing rain. There are tiny footprints leading away from the pond so I am hoping the little animal escaped. The kids are readying themselves to go out in this and the sleet rain started. Yuck. We did get a tree last night. It's a blue spruce and the needles are like tiny razors. It looks nice and smells pretty. Just don't get any of the veins you need near the branches. If I get motivated later, I may take some photos. Today is the last day for our big Christmas rush so I hope we can get to the post office at some point.

Death

White death that is. I need to get food items before the snow and wintry mix junk hits Cincinnati.
