LittleCS took this on the way home, very wet snow, very slippery roads. Glad I have no where to go anymore today!

Are they dirt roads?

no, that is in town, the street I live on. That is all from the sand and salt mixture that is put down to keep the roads from getting to slippery.

at least I think there is still a paved road under there, it has been awhile since we have seen it!

Boy, I had a tough night. Went to bed and was almost asleep when my son comes home with some friends. They are all pretty happy (if you get my drift) and my room is right next to the foyer where they talked VERY loud. They needed a lift, so, seeing as I hadn't alcohol in my system, mummy darling had to drive the wanderers... but not until my son had a refreshing shower. My daughter is going to be ropable when she wakes because the friends gathered near her bredroom to talk and she has an early shift!! Well, 1/2 hour after dropping them off and trying to go through my sleep routine again (I'm slightly insomniac) there is a bang on the door and my son is home again feeling unwell... drinking on an empty stomach in this heat will do that to you. After getting him settled in bed with a bucket I took a sleeping tablet and now I have woken sluggish and hot... not a good start to grocery day! Some sweet tea has helped a little to make the fortnightly menu but now I need to go through the cupboards to make the grocery list... bummer! Then I have to go out in this heat with the roiling masses!! Not looking forward to it!!

Hope the rest helps her feel better. Have a great day.

Thank you. She got up to have lunch but other than that she has been resting in bed all day!

Good afternoon, MMC! Hope you're all having a great day so far! We're getting ready to head out and see my parents and the kids, then we're going to go to church with them, then we'll go out to eat.

I'll talk to you guys later on! Hope you have a wonderful day! God Bless and keep smiling!

I hope you enjoy your afternoon/evening Sugar!!!

You're welcome! Sounds like the best medicine to me!

Thanks - looks like we'll just be heading home. EA has been coughing the past couple of days, now she is running a fever.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that, I hope she gets well soon!

Thanks, I am. DS is napping and EA is laying here beside. DH is working in the basement, which a typical day for him anymore. I am surfing around here and will probably read this evening. Hope you're enjoying your evening as well!

She needs rest, the trooper!!

I just found out she's not scheduled to work tomorrow either. Two days off in a row is rare for her, it's perfect timing!
