This was yesterday as there was a snow day on the mountain and the kids were out of school. Signe' stayed the night Tuesday night with the kids and then went to work from my house so she did not have to tackle the highway during a blizzard. Nate of course was called out due to traffic accidents on the prairie. So, grandma to the rescue. It was good that Sig was here that night with the kids as I was not my best and I holed up in the back bedroom for the night to get some good sleep. The kids were also very good and let me sleep in to get my rest it was lovely. They are growing up. William took care of Kelsa's breakfast. So sweet of him.
Woke Wednesday morning feeling much better. Spent an hour blowing up innertube sleds with an electric pump and the kids were in and out all day. I have a great sledding hill on my property. The kids would get wet and cold and come in, strip off I would throw things in dryer they would have hot coco and then right back out they would go. It was sunny and beautiful.
I did develop another headache later in the day, but after getting William to hockey, Signe' was able to get Kelsa to gymnastics and I just laid down about 5:30 and really did not get up again! SO that was a good thing.
I also made cinnamon rolls with the kids. They love to play with bread dough, and I also loved that as a kid. Plus, a warm cinnamon roll out of the oven, is there anything better? Made a pan for Kay and Dan and then proceeded to pack up rolls for Nate and Signe' to eat while the kids had lessons.
I have not really sewn at all this week and will have nothing to contribute to my savings, or at least not much, but that is okay. I have had 4 no spend days in a row and that right there is a savings. I did get the book read for book club and it was okay. At least I enjoyed it. Very mathy and scientific. Joel would have loved it so that made it all the better. It is called Project Hail Mary.
I am going to run to Sissies later and then to book club. I think Sissie, Dan and I are going to start a new puzzle. Maybe Sissie will feed me dinner.... I hope.
I have a busy next few days with family and obligations. I want to make Valentine cookies this weekend. I think I will kill two birds with one stone and make those for choir. I usually take frosted heart cookies to a few families that are somewhat shut in, or do not get out to church due to health reasons. I also want to take cookies and shortbread up to the cabin in McCall we will be staying at over the weekend of the 14th.
This cold has been weird, more headaches, and blah than sneezing and coughing. But I will take what this is over the later any day. Sissie came up and she was sneezing, and I think she is getting it. Crap!
It is colder and not sunny today, so the snow did not melt at all, the roads are dry, and we are not in any kind of a dilemma here. Because we get so little snow here the city is not equipped to plow us out. They just shut down roads. I do have a nice snowblower but no idea how to use it. If it did get bad, I would get Dan or Nate to show me how to start it. Or call the brethren from the church. Joel would spend hours blowing snow for our neighbors and elderly in our church. Sometimes he would even take the day off work if things were really bad and just plough all day. If we do get into a situation like that, I am sure the bishop would have someone come and get the blower. Not many people have them here.
Well, I am off to get something done, don't know what probably practice the piano.
Someone made the comment that my blog is covered with adds? I don't see them so when and where and why? Bear with me friends and let me know if you see them. I hope they are appropriate....E- gads!
