A button nose and two eyes made out of coal...

No snowman here, but there is plenty to make one. I am getting cabin fever! Christmas tree is finally down and back to the attic. I text Danny and said "trees down, you can come on home now.". Laundry done. Breakfast, lunch and snack out of the way. Lily goes outside and then turns to me as if to say WHAT is this? She does not like it. Colby just returned from pulling our neighbor out of the snow. Words with friends, facebook and football are just not keeping me entertained.

Dallas just left...not sure what that means these days. Back to the kitchen, to see what else I can cook. It WILL NOT be the deer chili meat Danny laid out. Gags me to smell it coking!

Love to all

Carla......

All I can say is walk over to Pecan Gap and see if our blog refreshes....I've been posting. LOL.

Danny had to be at work this morning at 6am.....he gets off at 6pm.

Stay warm!

To snow or not to snow....

I do not think the weather people know what to predict for tomorrow. One thing is for sure, IF txDot weather shows snow and ice, Danny will go to work at noon on Sunday...we just wait for the phone to ring this afternoon. Such a switch, normally I'd be packing a bag to get closer to the office, and spend the night. This time, he'll be out making the roads safe and I'll be home. Can't leave the kids....if the weather turns bad. I just hope they are all wrong and it's warm and sunny tomorrow.

Sports Banquet tonight. Got Colby a new black shirt today, so he'll look slick. Chelsey exempt from benchmark testing all week. It's a good thing because She felt like crap Wednesady...ran to doctor and waa told just head cold. Thursday night she was up throwing up and missed school yesterday.

We've all just had a nap, they are still asleep, and now I am trying to decide if I want to do a movie and dinner or drive up to Windom and try the great seafood buffet there....right now my Snuggie and recliner are pretty darn good.

At some point I need to take down the Christmas Tree. Yep, it's still up. Not bothering me a bit. Might just put hearts on it and keep it up thru Valentines...

Love to all!

Who cooked?

Chelsey cooked dinner for us tonight.....and was sitting on the couch when I got home PISSED because Danny and I were both late.... The important thing is that we made it and ate it. Delicious...Danny and I both ran in, changed clothes, and made a plate. YUM. Shake and bake chicken, parmesan pasta and cheese bread... Again YUM and so proud of Chelsey. Minimal instructions and she pulled it off.

Tomorrow night? Green chili chicken enchiladas...already put it all together tonight so all she and Colby have to do is bake for 30 minutes tomorrow afternoon.

Back to work today, after a 3 day weekend. Ugh... And I have poison ivy on my elbows...Duke got in my chair in the garage and it transferred from there. Just means I am on steroids and am WIRED for SOUND and not able to sleep very well....least I am not itching!

Called the court for Colby's illegal dumping today, never got a call back.....must have been a busy weekend!

Happy Tuesday to all.....

PK

P.S. If gas goes to $5 a gallon....I'll be taking donations! Geez, sure could stand to win the lottery....Colby would blow thru it, I'm sure.

Deputy Howe

Well....Deputy Howe was a very nice guy....left Colby with a citation and big eyes... We (Danny and Colby) shall go before the judge to see what is next...I went with Chelsey for her ticket, and it's the same judge. Not good....I will not attend, maybe he will not recognize the name!

Quiet New Years....Danny and I went and had great Mexican food, home last night by 8:30 watching tv. I missed the ball falling in NY because I was channel surfing....while Danny was snoring. Such a motley crew we are... Slept till 9 this morning. Cooked the traditional New Years lunch and then had a nap.

TCU won...now watching UConn and OU. I've been watching football for 6 months now....geez.

Off to wash dishes and nurse the poison ivy on my elbows. Happy New Year to all!

Environmental Deputy

Karen....you might want to go ahead and have Gary join you to read this one......again, no one is injured, no vehicles dented, and no blood shed, here's our FFF story for yesterday.......

Just after noon yesterday Chelsey calls me and says that an Environmental Deputy from Collin County just came by and wanted Danny or I to call him. Okay.....I get the number and name and make the call. The Deputy answers and asks if I have a dog named Duke...yes, do I have a daughter named Chelsey...yes, does she make good grades in school....yes, do we go to the local clinic...yes, do I bank at "x" bank...yes, finally I say OK, what's wrong....he tells me that our info was found at illegally dumped on the other side of Weston. I then begin to ask questions, where, how, when, WHAT......... He says a couple of things that make me wonder what in the world....he asks if anyone in my family might know about this. I said "a couple of phone calls and I'll know". Ring, ring to Danny....he's just like me WHAT??? Ring ring to Colby....dead silence when I ask him....yep, you got it...he took the trash out....but he took it to the WRONG place and the WRONG bags, because this was a bunch of our documents I had sacked up to shred..... today i get to stay home for a bit and meet with the Environmental Deputy to see what sort of fine, jail time or both might be in our future.....stop laughing, no matter how bad I was, a Deputy never showed up.....this is Danny paying for his past!

Mom, don't call....I'll update the blog with the continuing saga at the FFF.

Merry Christmas!

As I sit typing....I hear Danny snoring, the dryer running with Chelsey's new clothes, the dish washer running with breakfast dishes, Colby warming up his truck to deliver popcorn to a friends house, Lily on the couch snoozing and the trash man sitting at home thinking "oh my, it's going to be a long week!".

Colby got his XBOX. Chelsey her Louis Vuitton. Danny a tool box. And I got a new Dallas Cowboys jacket.... There's much more, but these are the highlights.

Now off to cook lunch, Merry Christmas everyone!
