Snow, Snow, Snow, and MORE SNOW!!!

WOW!!!! That is all I can say is WOW!!! This is sure a huge Blizzard we are having. We have not had this much snow in YEARS!!! Thank God I don't have to go anywhere, I wouldn't be able to. The state of Delaware along with lots of other states around the mid Atlantic are under a state of emergency. We have so much snow out here we can't even open either one of our doors to go outside if we wanted to. And it is still snowing. We have over 2 feet of snow already and they say we are going to be getting at least a foot more before it is all done. Good thing we got plenty of food and our electric is still on. I feel really really bad, almost half of the whole state of Delaware does not have power at this time. Over 36% of the state is without power. MAN and it is Freezing out there. I feel so helpless for all of my friends and family out there without electric right now. It must be so cold and miserable out there. I told everyone to come over here if they can get out, we will just all camp out and make the best of it but no one can even get out of their house if they wanted to right now. I just feel so bad for everyone. All the food in their freezers and fridge will be going bad. They all said they are going to put their food outside. And just walk around with layers of clothes on and blankets all day. Some have fireplaces, so that helps if they can open the door to bring the wood in. But I feel so bad for so many of the people in Delaware right now. I am so lucky and blessed that we are ok. I made a big breakfast and I have dinner in the crock pot already just in case the electric does go out anytime today, at least our dinner will be done. I have stew in the crock pot. It is pretty much cooking on high all day so it will be done by like 4 or so in case we run out of electric dinner will be done. And I have a ton of PB&J and bread and cereal in case we loose our electric. It is scary though to be going through this blizzard and not have electric, heat, water, or food.
But anyway, we are doing good. Hanging around the house, getting things done that I have been putting off for a while since I have been so busy. The boys and Sam are watching movies and hanging out all day. So everyone is safe, sound, and warm right now. Not going anywhere.
I hope all my friends and family out in VA, WV, PA, MD, NJ, NY, and NC are all doing ok throughout this blizzard. I think I will be calling some of them this afternoon.

All set for another big snow storm

Man Delaware and the entire Mid Atlantic states have sure seen their fair share of snow lately. We have not had this much snow in YEARS!! A few days before Christmas, we got like over 2 feet of snow, then a few weeks later, we got about 6 or 7 inches, then the other day we got another 4 or 5 inches on top of all that was still left from before Christmas. AND NOW starting Tomorrow afternoon and All night Friday into Saturday we are supposed to get SLAMMED with a Blizzard that they say can give us more than 2 feet of snow. DAM Delaware has not seen that much snow in one winter since 1957. And Winter is still not over yet. I don't know about you, but Dang enough is enough already. Now I know what my mom and dad and Lynn go through up there in the mountains of West Virginia. LOL. We are so not used to all this snow. So far we have to make up 3 days of school already at the end of the year and this snow storm coming this weekend, we will probably have to add more days to our count of make up days. AND then I hear we are in for another round of snow come Wednesday into Thursday. DAM where is all this snow coming from??? SO I went to the grocery store after work today along with about 5000 other people who live in Dover. MAN it was so crowed, OH MY GOSH!!! It was INSANE!!! What usually takes me about less then 1 hour from walking in to walking out the grocery store took me over 2 hours. AND I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING!!!!! Did you hear that people I hate grocery shopping and they kept me in that store for over 2 hours. After working all day and going to an appointment with Cody, yea so needless to say, when I got home, I was exhausted. So when I get home from work tomorrow, I WILL NOT BE going or doing anything until we have to go back to school again after this snow. THANK GOD because I really could use a break. I am so exhausted. I have to catch up on my farm LOL, and some paperwork and I want to read a book this weekend. I have not had the chance to read a book in a while.

~~~STAY WARM!!! STAY INSIDE!!! STAY SAFE!!! AND ENJOY THE SNOW COMING!!!~~~

I am Going to LAS VEGAS BABY!!!!

I am so excited. I have just been notified that I got picked to go to the National Educational Association Educational Support Professional (NEA-ESP) Conference in Las Vegas!!! I am going to the Presidents workshop, which means that this workshop is for all the presidents of their local associations. And there are only 3 people from the whole state of Delaware that have gotten picked to go. There were over 50 people who put in for it to go. So out of about 50-55 people who put their interest letter in, I got picked to go. I am super excited. I am going on Tuesday March 9th till Sunday March 14th.
I have to say, with me being so active in my union, it sure is allowing me to travel a lot lately. I was able to go to San Diego last summer and now Las Vegas, and in July I am going to New Orleans. And is so cool. All expense paid to go and learn, have fun, and become a better leader in my local association. It is so wonderful.
AND I can't wait to find out if I have been selected as the ESP of the year in the State of Delaware. I hope to find out about that by the end of this month. Don't worry, I will be sure to post all about it if I win. Trust me!!!!!

Well, anyway, I don't know where you all live, but we are getting ready to be slammed with more snow tonight and into tomorrow. We got like 6 inches of snow the other day that is still out there and we are going to be getting more on top of that. AND I heard that we are in for a wild Blizzard like conditions this weekend and we could get like over 2 feet of more snow. OK so I have to say, I LOVE SNOW!!! BUT DAM ENOUGH already. I am so dam cold I can't take it anymore. I am always freezing all the time. But I will get used to it soon.

So just encase you didn't know, today is or was Sam's Birthday. He turned 43 years old today. We really didn't do anything at all. I had a meeting after work today and I didn't get home till about 7:30, which he was fine with, but that didn't give us much time to spend together for like dinner and movie or what ever. Because when I got home, I had to do laundry, dishes, and the boys needed their showers and now it is like time for me to go to bed. I don't have anything planed tomorrow so I plan on making him so killer dinner tomorrow night to make up for tonight. I think I am going to make him a cake too. He loves Chocolate cake. So I will have to make him that.
He is doing ok but we are still looking for a job for him. He really doesn't even work at the motorcycles place he was working at anymore. He was there for like 3 or 4 hours like 3 or 4 days a week, but he doesn't even do that anymore. They call him only when they need him and they said they don't need him anymore. It really sucks!!! We are so dam broke right now, I hate it. It is so dam stressful. We are trying our hardest just make ends meet and we are so far behind in all of our bills. It is crazy. I am just hoping and praying that we don't loose everything we have. But we only can take one day at a time.

EVERYONE ENJOY YOUR NIGHT!!!!
