Happy "Balance Times" Day
Brandie has spent the day making impromptu "balance times" for everyone she knows. I've never been a fan of valentines (maybe it comes from being single for many many moons), but it was sweet to hear her talking about "balance times" today.
We've had extreme weather lately. Yesterday we had half of an inch of ice before it started to snow.
Then the power went out.
It was still daylight, so it wasn't bad. We lit candles just to try to maintain the temperature in the living room. It was just starting to get chilly when the power came back on. It had only been forty minutes, but seemed like an eternity. My maternal instincts were kicked into high gear trying to figure out how to keep the kids warm if the electricity stayed off. Kim called and offered to come and get us if the power went out again. I was so touched! That would mean risking their lives--literally!
But back to "Balance Times" Day. Things are back to mostly normal now. Rick chiseled the van out from under the ice today. We haven't been anywhere, but we could go somewhere if we had to. I didn't get Rick a valentines present....but he got a Mother's ring for me with the girls' birthstones and their names engraved on the band. I think I'll keep him around! :-)

Does this ring a bell???
"Shot through the heart...and your to blame...you give love, a bad name!" heehee
What else was on that tape. I'd give anything to still have it, but it's long gone. What a tribute to singles despair and torture!! :)
