Snow

It snowed the rest of the night. We've got about three inches or so. Just enough to put the county schools on a delay. Billy Boy's mom works for the city schools, so he's here and so are my very wound up boys...... it's nuts here right now. They're all runnin' around and yellin'. They're so excited that we actually got a real snow.

The bunnies are apparently under the back deck because Bowz is going crazy trying to get under there. He was pushing his nose into the snow on the deck, but for now has settled on one spot about 3 inches out from the house. The poor little rabbit's probably close to the house trying to stay warm. Bowzer is going nuts... he's chewing on the deck and keeps digging up the satellite wire trying to get under there. He's being very loud during all this with his wining, barking, and howling. That poor little rabbit's gonna have a heart attack. I'm gonna let him back in the house.....

....okay now he's back in the house. I had go out and grab his collar to get him in. Normally I'd have to chase him down, but he's so fixated on that one spot on the deck that he didn't budge as I walked toward him. Now he's in the kitchen wining (very loudly) and sniffin' and scratchin' around the door and under my kitchen cabinets like there's something under there. He's crazy!! Just one more thing to add to nutsyness of our house this morning.

Smart Guy just called to tell me that he slid into the church parking lot, but he's there safe and sound. He said our subdivision streets are horrible, especially the hill that leads to the entrance. I think maybe I'll go out the back entrance so I don't have to do the hill. Unfortunately we live just outside the city limits so they don't touch our streets with the plows, thus the reason city schools are in and county schools are out. When Billy Boys mom was driving over here to drop him off, she hit a slick spot and spun around to face the opposite direction she was intending. She was still shaking when she got here. Bee school is canceled today... I think... Our church, where the school is, is technically inside city school limits, but is literally within a 20 second drive from the city/county line so most of the teachers, the director, and many of the students (with older siblings on the two hour delay) live in the county school district. It's a little hard to have school when all your teachers have their children with them because they haven't gone to school yet.

Well, dear friends, stay warm and safe. I'm gonna leave at 10:00 Eastern time to be sure to get the boys to school on time on these roads. If you happen to read this by that time, say a little prayer that we get there safe!!

Drive safely! So glad you got some pretty snow. Hope it doesn't turn brown and dirty too quickly... especially after all the icky rain you've had.

saying prayers for your safe drive and if they decide to cancel school you get notification before you leave. Stay warm and safe.
