Tuesday

Well, here we woke up to a few inches of snow thanks to the great lakes. Normally we don't get that much lake effect but the weather people say that the winds were from the north and blew the snow inland.
I awoke at 6a to hear my youngest SCREAMING from upstairs that there was a 2 hour delay due to the weather. Those are some of the sweetest words that exist in my life: 2 hour delays and snowdays. They mean I can go back to bed and sleep. AHH...I LOVE sleep. One of my favorite activities!

I debated taking the gas guzzling truck to the school this am. I opted not to and put my faith in my Toyota. Kind of a bad idea. I had no problem going DOWN our road and the township/county/state routes (I have to drive all three to go 3 miles to the girls' school) were cleared and salted pretty well. No problem. Made it to school.

Well, I made it down the steep township road hill that leads to our private road (that was paved last summer) and gunned it to get up the hill. I made it about halfway and then my tires started spinning and I was swerving all over the place like an idiot. I made it up the hill BARELY. This is disheartning because this snow was NOTHING. Last year, when the drive was still gravel I would not have had this problem. This means I'm in deep trouble this winter. I will have to drive the gas guzzler each time there is a heavy snow if I want to get my kids to school and get to work.

For breakfast today I had eggs and toast...very yummy, they were "dippy" eggs! My goals for today are
1. sleeping (have to work tonight)
2. buying pair of black pants for E. (choir concert tonight)

That's pretty much it. On the grocery front we are doing well. I have very little food cash at this point (like $10) and I have $13 for gas. This should be fine until Friday when I get paid. The only thing I NEED is milk but M. will insist on coke too.

I need to call bank of america today so I can get my current balance...kind of excited! In the past month I paid over 1k to the stupid card!
Well, it's off to bed for me. Will probably get up around 1p and get ready for the busy evening.
Have a good Tuesday!

    I LOVE snow days too! I am envious...Although they call off school here for just the slightest bit of winter precip...sometimes just on the threat of it!

    YEA on the BoA card! Keep up the good work on that!
