Adult conversation....

I am in desperate need of adult contact.....screaming fight with Chelsey, because she did NOT want to stay home another night. Hell i dont either at this point. SO, i just loaded her butt up and took her up to the school for the play. She's staying with Shelby tonight. And walking home if it gets icy again.

Colby is at Kevins and we had a 1 hour texting battle over him wanting the Jeep tonight. Finally hit send on my cell phone and said he had TWO options....he either comes home OR stay at Kevin's without a vehicle. I am sure he and Kevin are having fun right now...

It's just me and Lily tonight. I love her....she can't talk! House phone not working, line must be frozen....the one Danny cut last year, and patched back together.

We did manage to go to Frisco today, for about 3 hours. Got our eye brows waxed, before we had to start combing them. Walked around the mall. People were everywhere....they must have cabin fever just like i do!

Danny has to work AGAIN tomorrow. The icy mess is returning. Joy joy joy.....

XOXO,
Pam and Lily

Sunshine!!!!!!

the sun is shining bright today, yea! Melt snow/ice melt! Danny is about to leave for work again....he asked me if today is Saturday. Poor guy, he's tired. Hopefully he'll get to be home tomorrow. It's been lonesome around here. Chelsey said we are getting oiut of the house today, no matter what. We've had lots of quality time.....

Off to pack up Danny's lunch. Adding bacon to his sandwiches today, just so he'll have something different.

Melting in C,
Pam

A load of laundry

3 jackets, 2 shirts, sweats and tights, 2 pair of socks, 2 pair of gloves and my cheetah print rubber boots.....oh and a hat. After i got all of that on and went outside with Chelsey, the snow wouldnt stick together for a snowman. So....i just walked all over the place, made a snow angel on the hill, traced a line for the driveway and then came in the house. Chelsey bailed when she slid down the hill and snow went up her shirt. Lily looked like a poodle, ice and snow were stuck to her legs amd belly. The lake is frozen and has snow on top of it. Will it thaw tomorrow? Sure hope so....ready for Danny to be home. Going to a bar for a beer...oh how that sounds good!

Stay warm and wish for a heat wave!

Made it!

Made it to work! One hour and fifty minutes this morning, of white knuckle, stiff legged, big eyes driving.... Ice EVERYWHERE. Worst part was getting from home to 380....well maybe it was just all bad. Only took an hour and a half to get home. Keep in mind, this is typically a 45 minute trip!

As i watch the news, Mr Channel 4 is saying SNOW. Good grief, will it ever stop? The kids are out of school tomorrow again. Colby is loving it. Chelsey is about to lose her mind.

Oh....when i got to the last bridge by the house, and looked up the icy hill, i saw a truck pulling a car out of our own ditch. The DEEP part of it....i stopped and let the truck get the car out and then proceeded to the driveway. I didnt kiss the ground, but thought about kissing the garage when i got out of the car.

Now there is a sand truck on the news that slid and rolled on it's side. I think i'll go hide in the bathtub with some bubbles.

Stay warm and as always, love to all!

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!

Tearful Monday, but a happy one...

Its official! Mom is now retired. It was so sweet to see just how much her co-workers love and will miss her. It was a long round trip, but glad i made it. Carla and i enjoyed joining in the stories while doing "while Mom was at work.". Mom....enjoy your first carefree day and many many more to come. Love you!

On my way to Quitman, i stopped and saw Sunny for almost an hour. I talked about the boys, Ashley, and Tazz. She had just eatten, and was sleepy. Marsha also said she had a tummy ache.

Chelsey just roled out of bed, needless to say, school is cancelled. We have a nice sheet of ice on the driveway. I am staying right here in my chair for now. DFW Airport is closed. Cant ever remember that happening. Scarey that Danny has to be at work at noon and not off until midnight. He'll have a heck of a week, i am sure.

He just said "we're almost out of eggs". Unless he can lay some, it will just have to stay that way!

Love to all and stay warm!
