The side of my house towards the rear of the house...These are hanging everywhere..Darin gets excited to pull them off...just to see if he can keep them intact.
Going to the backyard..the puppies have a kinda path going to the back because the snow is so deep.
front yard...yeh i get the bright idea to take pictures in the dark..I thought it would look cooler.
Just to show you how deep it is so far, and guess what, there is more coming. I honestly have not seen this much snow since i was a kid in the 1970's and early 1980's. Our winters here have been really weird. For the longest time the minute that we got any good snow storm it would rain and take it all away...I don't think that i have seen grass the whole month of January!
I have not been posting so much lately because you know how it is when you get in a funk...i'm trying to get out of it....
Thank God January is on it's way out.
more things to list
1. We finally (after a year) recieved the bill for Frank's hospital stay...our deductible part that we are responsible for. A whopping $2411.60! Yep, i flipped...then did the logical thing...went to work(cause that is where the bill came from) and worked out a payment plan.
2. Amber brought home 2 D's on her report card/ had to pull her off the Washington trip....But that just gives us more money towards the Florida trip tht I am planning.
3. Kids went to the dentist...Amber was told that she was cleaning her teeth pretty well..it's been 5 years since the last time they were at the dentist. The lady said she barely had to do anything to her teeth, she has 4 small cavities and 2 baby teeth need to come out.
4. Darin's teeth got the opposite! His were bad...so bad they prescribed him Flouride toothpaste. And according to my husband, Darin has about 7 to 8 cavities...I am going to call the dentist and find out for sure what needs to be done..Husband's are useless to get important information out of....lol..
Well I think that is about it on the bad luck train
One more thing i have to tell you, Both my kids at different times said they could swear that they saw "Mini" walking the hallway the other night, it sure is comforting to know she is still watching over us.

Caroline, I felt it time to visit so here I am. Your January had to be almost too much to take. As I read your post many memories of the sh** I went through in my younger days came flooding back. You have the right attitude --just keep working and taking care of the problems. That was my fix for what life threw at me. I'll be back to visit again. Keep up the fight lady it does finally get better!
BRRRRR, snow and icicles!! Too cold, I love my desert weather!!
What I nice thing to feel and see Mini's presence. This happens to me quite a bit with my rainbow bridge kids.
Mal-thanks :)...i still find it funny that your talking about being hot and here we are freezing.
Momma-Thanks for visiting hun...thanks for your understanding also, it's just got to get better..
