F.Y.I.

Ok, been awhile since I last blogged. Nothing much is happening at my place. I don't have any exciting adventures to relay. No gossip worth spreading. So I will just tell you all what I have been doing this last little while.

• spent a week cleaning my house....top to bottom. Yes boys and girls this even includes the walls!!! I am so proud of myself! And how long did the clean house last, you may ask? IT STILL IS!!!!! Yeah! I am so proud of myself (did I mention that yet?)
• Put the christmas tree up on Sat. And this was a real chore because last season my youngest cat was still in his kitten stage and I spent an hour with two pairs of pliers straightening out the branches. Needless to say the tree looks better then it did when it was bought. And I also cat proofed it! Just in case my evil attacking cat decides to take a round out of the tree.....like to see who comes away winning that tiff!
• also made muffins and cookies that night. It was weird....I had all these pans of goodies just lined up to go into the oven....AND GET THIS.....I even cleaned up my mess and turned on the dish washer! Oh and I also made bread too.

Well that is all that I did.....Oh I just love a clean house! (Seriously.....I am going to keep it that way.)

WTF is up....

WTF is up with this town! I mean the roads...sure we have been hit with some pretty nasty weather but come on! And yes I know that the town is short staffed but come on! I have had to walk to and from work because the roads have either been snowed in or icier then hell. But today has taken the cake. I had to drive today because my son needed to get important blood work done after school. No this could not wait because of an incident that happened 6 weeks ago while with his father (notice that he was not in my care at the time!!!!). I drove the kids to school and drove (SLID) DOWN the hill! I was not going at a high rate of speed.....actually I was coasting in nuetral down the hill and still I slid through (and Murphy's Law happenes to state that there were cars coming at that precise moment)!! Oh and that is not the end of the story. After work I have to go get the kids from school, which means attempting to climb that friggin hill. Now my van is not the greatest at this. I start to go up one hill...couldn't make it. Turn the corner and go back down to find a nicer street...once I turn that corner it is blocked by a tractor pulling a truck out of a big drift!!! Crap my van will never make it if that truck couldn't. Needless to say I get through that and go up another street....I have gotten some speed up and I figure that I will make it up that hill! I get about 2 feet from the intersection and I am spinning tires...lose speed and I am stuck on this hill!!!! Quickly whip out the cell phone and call the school to get the kids to stay in until I come in to get them, then call dad. While I the phone I am so frustrated and scared that I burst into tears! To end the story Dad came and got me, we got the kids, he got my van up the hill, and I got my son's blood work done. OH I SO NEED A STIFF DRINK RIGHT NOW!!!! Would someone PLEASE (preferably with knowledge) get the town crew trained in how to take care of winter roads! OK my rant is done....I don't feel better yet....Oh I need a drink!!!
