I shared on another thread that we are snowed in... it looks like at least

another day. Sam takes the car to work and my van has zero traction. I
I'm thankful we bought groceries...!

Everyone is getting a little TESTY! Any ideas?

Send the kids out to shovel the snow. Get's them out of the house and gives you some quiet time.

I'm hiding out in my room right now.

Bubble bath sounds nice! I don't think I have done that for years.

Did anybody mention Qualudes yet? (For the kids, not for you...)

I didn't mention it because that's where some of my 80's went.


Besides, you can't get 'em anymore.

*Sucking in breath* I am shocked!

I'm not really sure what to say....


Actually.. beside the cabin fever. I've been testy because of the Super Bowl party that is supposed to be taking place here Sunday.I have a house to clean, and a 3 year old who likes to make messes... I also have a sluggish ten year old and teenagers to feed and to try to motivate! At this point, I have given up! The house will be as it is. And it is really thei r party (the boys') anyway.
Although, the pastor and his family will be here....so, the house has to be decent! Excuse me while I go yell at someone!

I thought I was going to get a snow day yesterday.
Had the generator gassed up & running - had the fireplace
cranked on - have lots of vacation time banked up and was
ready to relax a bit. Then - my boss (owner of the company)
called & offered to come pick me up in his 4 wheel drive.

That was so thoughful of him!

He was even nice enough to let me do the jobs of 2 other
people who couldn't show up for work because of the 4
inches of sleet, freezing rain, and 8 inches of snow we
were blessed with. The ENTIRE town where my plant was
located was without power. All the gas stations closed -
all stores & all restaurants. ONLY place with power was
our plant? Go figure?

No cabin fever for me! However, I may still need a
nerve pill before the week is over.

I suppose I should feel honored because of all the people he
could have chosen to pick up - he selected me.

Most of the businesses in town are open today - but they are
telling us many of the rural folks could be without power for
up to 2 weeks.

What a NICE Boss! You know, most places, (churches included) 20% of the people do 80% of the work.. Sounds like he has you pegged to be one of those people! Aren't you blessed?

Early or late 80's?? If it was the late 80's, the good news is you didn't miss much.

Got to hear the bosses end of a conversation he had with
another coworker he offered to pick up. Gotta laugh - they
were bound & determined they weren't coming in. Honest
to goodness with my hand up - they started out by saying
they had no clean clothes - he countered with "don't worry
about it - nobody had power at their homes & most folks
probably didn't take a shower anyway".

They countered saying they had put ALL their clothes in
the washer before the power went out & now all their clothes
were wet. He dropped it at that. Pretty much figured if
they did come in - probably wouldn't get much out of
them anyway. Safe to say they are probably gonna be
on the naughty list for awhile (or even worse - here lately
we've had a "how many mistakes did that person make"
list to try to increase our pink slips & reduce payroll as
were a little slow.)

YR, the bubble bath and book were just the thing.

I wish I could say my kids worked a jigsaw puzzle but apparently puzzles are too "low tech"! But I am mellow now. Thank-you.

Sounds like a very persistent boss!

Does a pink slip mean fired? Ooh, I would be finding some clean clothes somewhere... I KNOW all my clothes won't fit in the washer at once. That is too funny...

Happy to help!
