We've got rain and snow! Yes, both! Earlier today I went to our office. The rain was coming down in large drops. The swish-swish motion of the windshield wipers just about put me to sleep. I pulled up outside the office and went inside. It was nice and warm. The cold wind had chilled me to the bones and the warmth of the building welcomed me like an old friend. I settled into my chair and prepared to get started on the mountains of paperwork before me. My cell phone rang and I knew, before looking at the screen, that my children were calling. I answered it and they, of course, needed my immediate attention and my presence at home. A bag of lima beans had gone missing and needed to be found quickly. My daughter needed them for a science project. I collected my things, knowing that I would have no peace til I drove home and found them. I went back outside and the large rain drops had turned to beautiful giant white snowflakes. How pretty! I drove home and watched as they hit the windshield and then melted away like butter. Upon my arrival home, I determined to find the missing lima beans and head back to the office. Due to my quick thinking, I hid the lima beans so they would not get cooked in a meal. I did such a wonderful job that none of us can find them now. I will have to look again later, but we are wondering just WHERE I put them. Where in the world are the lima beans!?! Hm...........that is the million dollar question.
After stepping into mud numerous times, I finally decided that I needed to get things in motion to put gravel in our driveway. It is so awful to step down in mud with heels on. There's just something about that squishing feeling that makes you want to pull your foot back immediately..............whether it's YOUR foot in the mud or you're just reading about it. The boys and I took our truck to the dump today to empty it of scraps and messes from my husband's jobsites. We emptied it and brought it back home. It's ready to be filled with gravel for the driveway as soon as the rain and snow stop. We plan on getting the driveway done before spring hits and the rains come! And just imagine! No squishing feeling! lol
The kids finished their homeschooling today and we got a lot accomplished. Tomorrow will be the day I grade papers, work on lesson plans and indulge myself in coffee with creamy chocolate creamer. Yum! I treat myself when I have to do homeschooling paperwork.
Well, I'm off to bed. I had planned on being in bed by 10:00 tonight, but that didn't happen. lol I'm going to be getting up early tomorrow and I want to be rested and refreshed for all that paperwork tomorrow. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm. Goodnight! |
