So day 9-13 have been interesting to say the least (might be why I forgot to blog..lol)..anyway, Saturday & Sunday were spent out at my parents house so that is my ligit reason for not blogging :)..throw in that Saturday night around 10 pm ish my Dad and I got in the car and headed back to C'ville to the Hangar to say goodbye to MB1 that was making their departure to the country we will not mention! He had really wanted to be there when Ry left, but with the timing of it all and being that it was a "normal" work day for him it just wasn't possible..this was the next best thing!! It was really great for him to be able to see how it all works, meet all of my peeps in the Army and to witness the process in which we "all" say goodbye..quite humbling even for me! Then we made the 45-50 minute drive back to their house and finally went to bed around 2 am ish..whew what a night! Sunday...my Dad took the kiddos out on an adventure aptly known as a "trip down into the woods on a 4-wheeler" with Peepa, some snacks, water & tp (just in case)", Mom and I hung out, cleaned the house and got some food ready for "Super Bowl Sunday"...then we just chilled for a bit! Their neighbors brought over some "pulled pork" and we feasted...can you say yummo!! Then right around game time I loaded up the kiddos and we headed back home...you know it is just not the same watching a football game without my hubby around...plus it was a school night!
So now..here we are around Monday time frame...and I was thinking it was just another day..boy was I wrong..it started off a bit rough..you know how Monday's can be...waking up is hard, getting in the car is hard..and so on and so forth...you get the point! I came home with all intentions of getting the house picked up, making beds etc., I started preparing all of our tax paperwork (had a scheduled appt. @ 1pm), filling out as much as I could ahead of time..and just as I was going to take a shower...the school calls and says that the kids are being released early...ummmm WHY I say to myself...it's barely snowing and they aren't even calling for much snow!! Now at this point we can all laugh...because as the story goes on..you will see that we ended up getting 4 inches of snow maybe more in some spots and it was definitely a good thing that they were let out early, in retrospect that is!! There were several accidents due to the weather..some of which included buses!! We made it home just fine (you gotta love a VW all wheel drive car) for situations like this..and boy do I!! Anyway, so we get home and just start to settle in...I am busy cleaning little things around the house (my BFF Jamie is coming on Saturday)..and I make it to Blake's room to start dusting around 4:30-4:45 ish..and I am really getting into it..then the POWER goes out..yep..too much fun! I will make a long story very, very short..we had the power out until around 8:30-8:45..on a very COLD night!! We of course, tried to make the best out of the situation and since the roads were fine..we headed out to grab dinner..ate it by lantern light (battery operated of course..lol), watched a movie on the laptop and just got comfy cuddling on the couch with mass o blankets..and poof the power comes back on..then off for 20 more minutes...then on again..then off again...then FINALLY on again..you get the picture..lol! It was a day to say the least!!
Today...has just been one of those "snow days" that I really wanted my hubby to walk in the door around 5 ish and just take over...but since he's not...I guess I just have to really pull up those big girl panties and move on...it hasn't been a terrible day..just long is all...then the school calls and cancels for tomorrow due to impending weather and you just kinda wanna scream..instead I think we will watch a movie, paint our nails (Brooke and I of course...Blake might run screaming if I tried) and get them in bed early so I can have a break while I drink some wine.."good times"!! So until tomorrow..and yet another snow day....
