Yet Another Snowstorm!

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Mar 2, 2009

Yes, we’re having yet another snowstorm! The kids (aside from those who are assigned to snow shoveling duty) are really excited about having another day off from school. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time when these kids have had a full week of school. There have been a lot of snow days, teacher workshops, holidays, and parent/teacher conferences consecutively.

It took my fiancé about one hour and forty-five minutes to commute into work today, one hour longer than it typically takes him. He was stuck behind a state plow truck going 15 miles per hour, so that slowed down all the traffic considerably. Then, when he wasn’t stuck behind that, the roads were too slippery for standard travel speeds. It’s a mess out there! It wouldn’t bother me so much if this happened during the beginning of the season, rather than right before the season should be ending!!!!! Grr…….

In other news, we had a flood this weekend and my plans for art were put on hold. We spent eight hours cleaning, clearing, and stowing on Saturday. We woke up to three inches of water in our basement because the drainage around our house was done incorrectly. It’s such a mess. We had a rough time with it last year, and this year is going to be much worse because the house is continuing to settle. Luckily, my fiancé has many connections so we can resolve this issue.

Because the kids have no school today, we’re going to work on some illustrated letters. That will give us all an opportunity to catch up on correspondence to “far away family,” and get in some creative moments! ::smiles::
