I'm kinda likin' this

The place where I work has been undergoing remodeling/rennovations since December 24th, so I've been off work since then.

I've always wanted to be a stay-at-home-mom and I'm gettin' a good taste of it during this "time off".

I don't want to go back to work....but unfortunately I'll have to.

It's also been kinda scary during this time with no paycheck! I like the extra income....I just wish it didn't have to be like that. I wish our government would pay mom's (or dad's if the mom is willing to work) to stay home to care for the kids and take care of the house.....wouldn't that be awesome! And I don't mean Welfare...I'm talking a legitimate paycheck for doing a days work....cuz it is WORK to have kids and a home......maybe in a perfect world *sigh*

I Hate Potholes!

As if it weren't bad enough with all the fog and dreary weather we've been having lately, now we have potholes to deal with!

It's awesome that the snow is melting, but now there's nothing to fill up the holes in the roads! It's like playing dodge ball when driving down the street..."left.....no, right....now left.....bang, SPLASH!" And you swear you've just popped a tire or lost half of your undercarriage! It's ridiculous!

I can't wait for spring!

Of course, then I'll probably have to deal with all the road construction as they try to fix all those darn potholes! UGH! LOL

Maybe we should start building an ark!

They say that 90 days from a fog day there will be precipitation.

Well, we've had 3 straight days of fog! And not just fog for a couple hours in the morning, but ALL DAY fog!

If we're suppose to get at least 3 straight days of rain (it'd be around April 15th), on top of all of this snow melting.....well....I'm thinking an Ark would be a good idea to start building about now!

We live near a large river....far enough away that I'm not too worried, but close enough that it could be a concern if we get A LOT of rain.

I'm hoping we won't be floating away in April....I guess only time will tell.

A New Blog Look!

I decided I was tired of my old blog background so I spent WAAAAY too much time today trying to find something I liked...LOL....and this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy my new look. Let me know if you see anything that needs "tweaking". Thanks! :o)

Hallelujia!!!

Praise the Lord, the temperatures for most of this week are suppose to be ABOVE freezing!!!!

I actually went and washed my car today....I know it'll get all gross again, I just wanted to get the thick layer of scum off of it before I add some more...LOL. Then when the roads get dry, I'll probably wash it again.....unless we get more snow...God forbid! So far there is no snow in the forecast...hopefully it stays that way!

The kids finally went back to school.....they had 13 days off for Christmas break, went back last Tuesday for a full day, then Wednesday they got out early because of the weather, then school was closed Thursday and Friday because of the severely cold temps/wind chill. I was about to go bonkers...I love my kids with all my heart, but I can only take so much....LOL

Anywho, just wanted to blog something real quick to let ya'll know I'm still here.....thanks for reading. :o)
