YES...two posts in one day!

Well....being cooped up for two days is NOT good for the Fenter Funny Farm. Chelsey and I are not even speaking at this point. Late this afternoon she text for me to come after her at Brookshires. So....off I go in my little car. ICE almost all the way. While at Brookshires, I decided to restock. We finally finish shopping, with Chelsey texting the ENTIRE time, sack it up, load it up and head back home. On the way I am being cautious and she's being impatient (terrible combination). I mean, why did we need to hurry? Arrive home and an hour later she learns there is no school again tomorrow. Sooooo, she thinks she can leave again. NOT happening. Screaming, yelling, pouting, and she's STILL here....much to her dismay. She even had her friend text me begging. NOT happening.

Colby was equally as mad when I told him NO, he could not go to Kevin's. No screaming or fighting, but he's pouting. I figure, if I have to be trapped at home, they may as well be here with me and LOVE IT as much as I do.

Tomorrow morning (probably mid morning) I shall head to Lewisville. I'm going to work, even if I have to drive the Kubota. Come hell, high water, snow or even more ice. I'm a brave bored Mommy tonight...

Danny has been out in it all day again today. I have cooked sloppy joe's, a roast and chicken enchilladas. No one will starve around here...that's for sure.

As for the ice, the driveway is still solid. The yard actually looks like it's covered in snow, but it's crunchy. The curves on 455 are VERY icy. The driveway (the rock part, not the concrete) is crunchy. They say snow on Friday. Sunny Saturday and Sunday and then possibly hit again Monday. This just can't be! I'll be stark raving mad by that time....or happily sitting in a hotel in Lewisville.

Happy Wednesday night to all.....off to walk the floors AGAIN. Oh and wash dishes (AGAIN) as well.

Frozen...

Good morning to all my frozen friends and family! Just saw a facebook post that the Groundhog didn't see his shadow, so Spring is just around the corner. What corner? The icy one I am sure. Things are frozen solid here STILL. It's 12 degrees according to the pool themometer TWELVE, good grief....

Yesterday was fun....Chelsey left and I thought it would be Colby and I all day. BUT Tyler text and said "what are you doing Mom?". I replied "sitting in my recliner under a blanket, and you?". He said he might come see me.....i said bring it on, but BE careful. He and Junior came over, and Colby went after Kevin, so I had 4 big strapping boys with me all day. I cooked, washed dishes, cooked, washed dishes.....and stuck my head out ever so often, to see if the ice remained. Even capped the cooking off with brownies at 11pm. They wiped them out. Kevin stayed the night. And Junior and Tyler left at 11:30. Made them text when they got home safely. Danny arrived at 20 minutes till one, after getting off at midnight. He made 4 trips with the sand truck to the Hunt County line. I asked if the big trucks slide, he said yes and i stopped asking questions....its better that i not know any more!

As I sit here, everyone in the house is snoring, including Lily. Not sure if I will attempt a trip to Lewisville today....the dang remote battery is dead, and there is something special you have to do to it, and last time I goofed it up, so I sit in silence until the snoring stops. Danny has to be back at work at noon. His biggest frustration yesterday? Starbucks was CLOSED! Poor guy....

Stay warm, and remember Punx DID NOT see his shadow....spring is on the way! Oh, a few shout outs.....Kelly, he's so cute, cant believe he's two already, Happy Birthday Kaden. Aunt Sharon, Uncle Raymond and Aunt Barbara, thanks for attending Mom's party Monday. Megan...is Jeff having to drive in this mess? Carla...unless you and Paul ran out of wood and used boards, they are called logs! Paul, be nice....blonde moments happen honey. Elaine, glad you enjoy our blog. Mom and Dad, stay warm, love u!
