The waiting game

We got a call yesterday from Blake's school that we're on a two hour delay. That meant that Drew, who is officially a student of our district, is also on a two hour delay. Even if Drew's school didn't have a delay.

Well, I just got a call that Drew's school is closed today. Blake's is still on a two hour delay. That means I have to go to work and have no plans for Drew for the day. So I am holding my breath that FL school cancels as well. I will be surprised if they actually do, though. We are supposed to be getting another winter storm tomorrow which will likely cause a closing later in the week. We'll see, though.

*UPDATE* Blake's school cancelled as well. So we're all home today. Woohoo!

Have I mentioned that I hate winter?

Well, have I? Because I do. The only good thing about being snowed in this morning was that it put me in a mood to bake something. So guess what I made?!


In case that picture put you in a baking mood, here is the recipe:

Not-quite Wordless Wednesday

This morning, I took Blake's jeans out of the dryer and tossed them to him. I told him to put them on. He said, "Ahhh! Warm. I go to sleep." and put his head down on them until they cooled.

All is quiet

I am the only one awake in my house. The boys have been in bed for an hour, and Eric went to bed fifteen minutes ago. He has a maintenance to do later for work and has to get up at 1 am to do it.

I am just enjoying the solitude and eating some butterscotch pudding I made.

Drew and Blake have runny noses. I gave them Benadryl before bed and that helped them go to sleep as well.

I have been listening to sermons online today. I listened to a Jon Courson sermon, one by Steve Hadley and one from John MacArthur. I drive Eric a little nuts when I do that though, because I can't always hear him well when he talks to me, and I also answer questions and finish bible verses aloud while listening to the pastor. I usually play Bejeweled Blitz online while I listen. I like having something I can do while listening that isn't too big of a distraction.

My mom and dad made it home from their vacation today. I was glad they had a safe trip. The did suffer from seasickness the first day they were on the ship. Drew was asking me tonight when he can see Grandma and Grandpa. I told him soon. Like hopefully tomorrow. At least for a quick visit. It's probably been two weeks since they saw them last. That's a long time for them.

Remember that root canal I had done a couple weeks ago? Well, I went in for a cleaning and exam before I get my crown, and lo and behold, I have another cracked tooth. My dentist has a little camera that he can put in my mouth and I can watch on his television what he's looking at. You could see a great big crack on the tooth next to the one I just broke. So, I have to get that one crowned as well. At least that one won't require a root canal first. Still not looking forward to it. Darn teeth grinding!
