what a winter storm! we still had about 8 inches from the storm on the 1st, and we had another 16 inches dumped on us yesterday - not that i mind much - i'm not going anywhere anyway lol - and living here all my life i - thankfully - know how to drive in it if i have to. i don't like driving right now becaue i can't turn my head far enough to see the blind spots in my truck so i have limited myself to take the kids to school and go to the grocery store. so these pics were taken during the day when it was still light out - we still got another 4 or so inches after these. it was so bad that the plows did not even go by because they were too busy keeping the main roads clear. we all knew we were going to get hit hard - all the malls were closed - most places did not open. the resturant that my girls work at, called at 9 in the morning to say they were not opening. the subdivision next to ours was out of power, but thankfully ours was not, however, we did lose cable and because we have the package cable deal - that meant our internet and phones were out for a while too - no big deal -we had other things to do - napping was good lolin the top picture dh is actually snowblowing the street! he worked a 12 hour day before they finally shut down the airport, but they still had not plowed our street by 4. he got stuck in the middle of the street and mandi's bf was here and he pushed him out to the other street and then he had to snowblow the street to get to the driveway - you can see his car in the picture up against the curb - and then he and jake had to get the car unstuck from that spot to get it in the driveway - i think we got about 14-16 inches in all - there were some places just west of us that got over 20 inches.
so on tuesday night, ty had a spelling bee to attend - i was so proud of him - it was for students grades 5th -8th all competing against each other - which means the 5th graders were spelling the same words as the 8th graders. he did not win, but i think he did an awesome job - he came in 11 out of 43 and i can't even tell you the word he could not spell, because i can't spell it either lol - i have to be honest - we are a huge sports family - basketball - jj is on 3 teams - ty is on 2 teams - and al also plays - baseball/softball - both boys and sarah play little league and tournament ball and we can't forget football! so when ty said he made the district spelling bee, i thought it would be kind of boring and take forever, but i was soooo wrong - it was almost like being at a game - it was very suspenseful and i felt bad everytime a kid spelled something wrong - actually worse then when my 150lb 11 year old sacks a quarterback lol
had my 3rd mri finally on tuesday morning - had to postpone it once because i had a cold and could not stop coughing and then when i went at the rescheduled time i was still coughing so they sent me home - this time i took some nyquil when i got up and had a cough drop as i was walking in - made it through ok, the tech would stop between scans so i could cough and clear my throat so the exrays came out ok. i was hoping for some better news but i will go into that later :(
saturday was grandpa bob's birthday - he turn 66 - so we celebrated on superbowl sunday which was great because then i didn't have to cook - my mil got papa murphy's pizzas. we had not had them before and they are really good - they don't taste like delivered pizza - much better - i think we may start going there for pizza - there is one on the way home from dh's work so he can pick them up :)
i have been doing a little scrapping - nothing too fancy - mandi just brings a few things up and i work with that so if the papers look the same on more than 1 layout - they proably are lol - i also have not added and handwritten journaling yet. my fine motor skills still are not good - so my handwriting is almost unreadable - it is frustrating because even the typing is bad - i used to be able to type about 120 wpm and now - not - can't even hit a letter key and the shift key at the same time - i am really hoping that the b12 therapy works faster than they said it would cuz this is getting really old - although on the upside - i don't have to shovel lol

I think I have some photos that look like yours. LOL I think we are somewhere between 17" & 20" here. I can't remember the last time we got this much snow. I'm not complaining either, were getting a little vacation, because of it.
You'll have to tell me about why you are having mri's done. I must of missed what happen. But I can relate with you about getting back to yourself. I am still trying to get my knee to work right. It's getting old.
Happy Birthday Grandpa Bob!
I thought about you and the snow. At least if you have to be out of work it's during the really heavy duty snow. Don't going doing anything stupid to make yourself worse.
I didn't even try to go down the side street to go to work. I went around the long way to go to work this morning.
They piled soooo much snow on the corners you can't see if anyone's coming.
I almost got hit by a semi because I couldn't see him. A SEMI TRUCK I COULDN'T SEE BECAUSE OF THE SNOW ON THE CORNER. Talking about scaring the *^&$ out of me.
I'm off the next two days, thankfully.
Yikes, you guys got hammered with the snow! Thankfully I didn't need to drive down that way this week, yikes. The in-laws just missed that whole mess when they traveled through earlier this week.
YUMMY, Papa Murphy's pizza is so good! We had them for Super Bowl Sunday too, no cooking for me. They are the best price and great tasting, you can't go wrong bringing one of those home.
Hope your feeling a little better, I know how hard it can be to deal with all that on a daily basis. Hugs to you.
I'm so ready for spring, love the snow pictures. We got around 15 inches, Burt had the most in MI with 17.
My dh snow blows part of the street so when the plows come thru he don't have to go back out there.
Holy Toldeo we sure were socked with snow this year!!!
Glad you were able to make it through the mri, that must have been tough! Hang in there! Hugs
