Snow, What Else Is There?

What you are looking at is about 4 feet of snow. The first picture is the deck on the front of the house and there is a table and chairs buried under there. The second picture is a drift in the backyard. Thankfylly the snow seems to have stopped falling and it's sunny out there today. It's cold, though it is above freezing according to my outdoor thermometer.

This morning the alarm clock went off 15 minutes early because that's what Mr. Man had it set at and forgot to change it back. I was not ready to get up. He asked me if I would get up and make him a coffee and give him another 15 minutes of sleep! I said of course as I dragged my weary butt out of bed. He had some assessment thing to go to today, so I didn't think he had to be up so early since he wasn't going to work, wrong again. A shitload of snow has been dropped on us lately. You know how when the plow goes by it leaves a big pile of snow at the end of your driveway? Mr.Man tried to blow through that with my car. He got stuck. Just as I was getting all nestled in front of the computer he came in and asked me to get dressed to come out and help him get the car out. Of course I said as I pulled on my arctic boots. It took us a while as it was really stuck, but we got it out eventually, and off he went.

Last night he had to go out and shovel a path to the propane tank in order to have propane delivered today. That was quite the task and it was miserable out to boot. But he did it and thankfully we got propane today. We were dangerously low. Apparently they have a new rule, if there isn't a clear path to your tank they charge an extra $100. We were shopping around for another propane company but they're all about the same, and this one owns our tank and our hot water heater, so, we'd have to buy them in order to have another company supply us with propane.

Thankfully there was school today. Last night I was having visions of yet another snow day. Sometimes even though the buses aren't running the school is still open. On those ocassions Little R is missing out and falling behind. We are determined that she is going to do better this semester than last semester. We don't know yet just how bad she did, but we know it's bad.

Well I know I should get out there and shovel the driveway so Mr. Man doesn't get stuck when he comes home, but I think I'll bribe Little R to do it. She's young, she'll bounce back. I on the other hand may freeze to death or have a heart attack or something. Mr. Man has started nagging me about cleaning up the house. He admitted he'll be mentioning it every day. It has gone too far. He's out of patience and understanding. He thought it was just a phase but now sees that I am just being lazy. So I must go and clean something now. I really don't like it when he's pissed off at me. Have a great day.
