When I say everything I mean right down to the power lines, trees and a nice coating on the 16 inches of snow still out there on the ground!
This is a picture that hubby took of pop and P making a snowman during the storm last week.
I mean I really love snow. I really really do, BUT not ice and only like snow if I am on a ski slope cruising down a nice black diamond. Not having to drive, shovel or salt it! The weather people said "It's going to be a mild winter!" Pish Posh, I call bull!! I highly doubt that 2 1/2 feet of snow already counts as a mild winter!! I am really in the wrong business, I need to be a weather forecaster! I swear that is the only job where you can be 99.999% wrong and still always have a job!! I really think that when profits for the food stores are down they call the weather people and say hey predict a nice size storm!! The storm that we were "supposed" to get Monday and yesterday was supposed to include 1-3 inches of snow..Well that didn't happen..But I am sure there was no bread, milk or eggs to be found!! Oh and C woke up to a 2 hour delay this morning. Makes no sense but hey that's why I pay my taxes for people to make those calls!! END RANT
Onto other things!! We are having a fundraiser tonight at a place called CiCi's to raise money for the dad in-law. They are giving us 10% of all there sales tonight for whomever brings in a flyer that we handed out. This place is awesome! So much so that we already booked a fundraiser for our boys baseball travel team in May. AHHH baseball is going to start soon which means our life as we know it will be filled with practices, fundraisers and more practice!! J will be having tryouts in a few weeks and having to pick only a lucky 13 boys is hard! J loves these boys like his own. He would have an 18 man team if he could, but he can't. So it pains him to have to make a call to the parents to tell them he doesn't think that boy is ready yet. But he does it with grace and tells them maybe next year. I mean they are only 9-10 so the skill might not be fully there. So that will all soon return to our daily routine!
The benefit is t-minus 3 weeks away and the planning is going full speed ahead! We actually attended a benefit Saturday for a dear friends dad. There were 12 of them rocking out this benefit!! We on the other hand have myself, J & Nikki. So I think that we are rock stars and have everything under control! We have about 40 total baskets to be won! The only problem I can foresee is transporting them all to the hall without damaging them. But we will recruit our friends with trucks to make the traveling easier. So after all this is said and done I am going to need a nice relaxing weekend!!
So here is to a great Wednesday!!
