Okay so I really wanted to work on this and here we are again two months later. Give me a break though. Christmas, New Years, W2s..... It is a busy world and I am a busy girl. Also, I have a busy girl so maybe things will slow down. The last 6 days have been something else. We had a tremendous ice storm here in Kentucky that left so many folks without power. Including US. This is the 2nd time we have lost power in 6 months. The remnants of Hurricane Ike left us with a windstorm that knocked out power back in September. At that time we lost power for 4 1/2 days. That was considered pretty devastating in Kentucky WELL boy did this Ice storm kick that Wind storms booty. To maximize the devastation of this Ice storm were the chilling temperatures. There was just no way to truly keep warm. We lost power early last Wednesday and got it back yesterday(Sunday)around Noon. The 5 of us (This includes the pups of course) slept in the house under a multitude of covers Wednesday and Thursday Night. My wonderful buddy Amy got her power back on Friday and insisted that we come stay with her. Even though Amy and Billy were more than willing to let us bring Willow and Xander, Wendell borrowed a generator and chose to stay home with them. Sara and I stayed with the Hinton's Friday night and Saturday night. Sara had a blast with her buddy Emily and I enjoyed hanging out with my buddy also. They treated us like royalty and Amy made some yummy spaghetti Saturday night. Wendell was able to come over and eat. After dinner, we played LCR and Yahtzee Free for All while the kids played. We had a great time but we are sooooo glad to be home! I am so grateful to them for their friendship and hospitality. I just hate to feel like I am intruding on someone's life but Amy was quick to remind me....Now what would you do if roles were reversed. Of course, she is right! She is awesome! If you read this, THANKS AGAIN AMY! I have no idea how to repay you!
Sara went back to kindegarten today and I think it was the best thing. I think these children need to get back into a regular routine and get their normal lives back. Jefferson County goes back tomorrow and I register Sara Opal for FIRST GRADE! How on earth is that even possible!
I have no idea what my stamp clubs are going to do this month. I have really got to get going on that because I need to place an order which I am going to have to expedite. I would like to blame it on the windstorm but I am a true procrastinator. Thanks to Mindy, I have put out an email for a Designer Series Paper Share offer.
