First of all-- even though the snow was already bad last night-- that was still no reason to call school at 8pm.... There could have been a miracle! In fact-- I was holding out on one!

Secondly-- my telephone call to what's-his-name reminding him to get gas for the snow-blower (He always tells me "Honey, that is a snow-THROWER not a snow-blower" there is a difference and obviously it matters to him) was a waste of my time....

This morning he starts what I call his "man talk".. "yup, better get the 4 wheel drive out (usually the "4 wheel drive" is known as Audrey's car) and go into town for some gas". What he really wants to do is wait until it is bad enough to "force" him to take the snowmobile 4 miles to the nearest gas station.

It is still snowing and we are meant to get 4-8" more before it is all over.

I have failed Lillie and Torrey by not having walnuts in the house for them to bake into the cookies they are baking... (Actually it should read I failed to have walnuts for them to waste with the other ingredients they are using to pretend they can bake)

My mother called....

She told me she is "thinking of coming for a visit".... IF "It would not be any problem". Translate: I have already bought my ticket.

I should "go to no trouble". Translate: "I will find fault despite your efforts anyway".

Zack is still in bed despite the many warnings from his father about "sleeping all day" when he has "chores to do".

Alax has been on the phone all morning and "watched" The Price is Right with Meagan, his new girlfriend. (Obviously Meagan's parents have jobs they have to go to despite the weather and are not home to force her off the phone)

Joey and Mikey got into a fight and Joey told Mikey he was a "tool" and Mikey flipped him off-- so they both got punished.

Usually this place is peaceful and quiet on weekdays...

Stupid snow...

What pray tell is a "tool" ?...LOL


Tracy...

I wondered the same thing, but on second thought decided I might not really want to know. This could be one of those times when ignorance is bliss.

It is not a "bad" word-- But it is not on the approved to call eachother list...

We have a rule-- the kids can call one another something (that is on the list) if they can give us two good reasons for it-- ie-- If one of them calls another one of them a savage and they were chewing with their mouth open and had their elbow on the table-- it is OK because that is what a savage may do...

A tool, as defined by one of them-- is someone who is easy to manipulate-- someone dull or useless.

Surprisingly enough-- dullard is on the approved list- but Joey did not have 2 good reasons to call Mikey that and Mikey certainly never has a good reason to fly the bird to a sibling-- so-- they both got into hot water.

"Fop" might work too!!

So you're adding to the list Doug-Oh? You have courage.

My roomate of 2 months is moving out and my brother and wife are coming the following week.
I used to live alone...

I once cleaned my house for 22 hours over 5 days for a brother to visit and forgot to throw away one black banana from the fridge, and didn't he go home and tell everyone the story of my one black banana.

I love The Price Is Right, except I'm not up early enough

It was 80 today and I had to cut down a bush.

I'm glad it's not snowing! Poor Audrey!

It was 82 today- the sprinklers are running while the Christmas lights are on!

you sure are a Brat Kat!

It's going to be the same weather for the next 5 days.

At least I got you back posting!
