I have some Extra time!

Yes..I am finding some time to blog....and the reason...Snowed in! We got hit with a snowstorm Friday into Sat. The local weather was calling for 4-8 inches....which is kind of alot for us....we usually get 2-4 4-6 if lucky..but that could be every other day....well this storm ended up dumping 24 inches....(weather people failed). Brittney was supposed to have her B-day party at Chuckie Cheese on Fri night and had to cancel that. Friday night our power kept flickering and my husband had to shovel at 9 at night because we already had 5 inches and no signs of stopping.

My husband woke up at 3:30 to go to work..he called to tell me trees were down and so were alot of wires. Around 7am our power went off. the power also went off at the Grocery Store me and hubby works at so they had to close(don't even know why they opened). Around 2:00 and about 50 degrees in our house we decided to go to in-laws. Then finally our power came on about 5:00pm. Our cable was still out along with telephone and Internet. Also we were under a water conservation.

So today there are alot of homes still without power..ours actually went out twice again...maybe for about 10 minutes each time. Schools are closed already for Monday and the best thing(well bittersweet) I got the weekend off from work but I lost 16 hours of pay!

I have pics but they are on my phone...a little boy in this house broke my camera...if I can figure out how to post them I will!

Have a blessed week and anybody in the snow zone be careful and stay warm!
