I am so proud of myself. I , little ol' me, all by me self fixed the space heater, and not a minute to soon cause it is frigid cold outside, 16 degrees with a wind chill of 6. (J is defiantly freezing his nutts off today) So this morning when I seen that Tori's school was cancelled (cause of cold weather) I thought for sure Kandace would be out too, Tori is in the headstart program but it is run out of Kandace's school, so why let one group off and not all?? don't ask me but Head start was the only school out around here. So I went up to get Kandace up for school, but to no avail, she is sick, she is still laying down and it's 10 till noon. She isn't throwing up yet, but she is complaining her belly hurts and she feels like she needs to vomit but can't. I hate that feeling. So anyway we are all here, trying to stay warm. I just saw it's snowing outside. They did say we were supposed to get some but no more than an inch or so, I hope they are right.
I bet the neighbors are cussing the little white flakes coming down. They just brought in a dumpster to start getting rid of the rest of the crap that is still over there from the fire. It's been close to a year now that the house has sat vacant. Such a shame, it is one of the oldest houses in New Albany. It is an eye sore, even before the fire it was an UGLY old house, but it had such character, such potential, it will take a lot of money and a lot more TLC but it could be such a lovely home. I don't know the new neighbors yet, there have been a lot of folks over there the last 2 months. I am really glad some one is finally ganna try to fix it up again.
This is an old picture from when we moved in 3 years ago, but you can see the house I am talking about there in all it's 2 toned glory. The 3rd floor used to be the servants quarters, it has/had a staircase from the kitchen on the first floor that went directly to the 3rd floor. it was about 15 inches wide with no railing and steps about 3 inches wide. from 1st to 3rd floor. Strange how that is the only real damage from the fire was that stair case and the entire 3rd floor, just like the servants back in the day the fire started right outside the back door with a faulty electrical box, then the fire destroyed the kitchen and headed to the 3rd floor thru that little staircase, Kitchen and 3rd floor gone, but the 2nd floor was virtually untouched.
I am glad to see some one over there fixing it up.
not happy about the guy that keeps showing up with the Viking jacket, lol, that's all I need around here another football junkie....

Seems like every year he see's his shadow,,, but not this year, yippie, yeah, I am so looking forward to spring. I can't wait...
I am sure I am not the only one.
We woke to more snow today than yesterday.
Kids all had off yesterday, but not today???

Before the big Party for my oldest daughter I had to have a breakdown first. My baby is 9.... I know some will say no biggie?? WRONG. It's our half way point, another 9 years and she will hopefully be leaving home to attend some fancy smancy college. As much as I want all the good things for her in her lifetime I wish there was a way I could keep her just like this forever. She is such a good kid. Don't ya wish there was a pill or powder that would keep our kids as innocent as they are now/or once were?? If that were the case I'd be sitting here with 3 new forever.... lol.
OMG!!!!
we finally got some snow, not much but enough for them to cancel school today, YIPPIE a snow day!!!! wait a minute that didn't sound as good as it did when I'd say it 20 years ago.... now it means a mess of kids wanting to go out and freeze their little noses off. I guess I will have to get out the snow bibs and let them out in it for a while today. They say we have another round of snow coming tonight. Hey things could be worse.
So see as I said things could be worse, I will be happy we got some snow, as long as that is all we get it *some snow* I couldn't imagine having to cope with ice like in those pictures....
I want to give the readers that have made it back a big hug.
Thanks for taking some time for me today.
