March is here!!

YAH!! IT is March.  Time to get warm. Right?!

No ice today but it was rainy all day, still is I think.  It would be nice to have the sun come out again.

Not much to blog about today sorry. 

Soggy Saturday

Yes today is soggy!  It was icy this morning too. We couldn't even get the truck doors to open without really pulling because they were iced over some.  We got to dads okay though I told him last night we'd be there an hour later than usual because of the winter advisory which actually got extended to 2 o'clock this afternoon,

There were over 70 accidents between midnight and sometime this morning in our county alone. That is how bad it was.  Hubby asked me if I woke up several times last night because of ambulance sirens.  I honestly had not.  Guess I was just pretty tired. Also glad I didn't wake up several times as I would have been really dragging today.

So I just made one of my yummy Mexican coffees and thought I'd share a picture of what they look like. :-)

             
  Tomorrow rings in the new month.  It will be March. Time for SPRING!!! Hear that Mother Nature!!

Freezing Friday

Well here it is Friday night. It is 28 degrees out and the weather radar shows pink (for ice).  Fun. NOT!  Hubby offered to take me over to help my dad later. Thankfully, yes.  But I hope the roads aren't just a sheet of ice either.  This is so nuts that March will be here in 2 days and we're dealing with this here in Central Texas!

As it is I'm sitting here with a blanket on my lap, oh and Ditzy on my lap too.  I'm fixing to make myself a mexican coffee.

So here's to not stressing about the weather outside and enjoying time with hubby and the fur kids inside with hot mexican coffee!

Thursday's topics...

Today the topic in our house was the weather.  It is cold again and we may get some sleet/ice tomorrow and even Saturday, just sporadic though and not suppose to stick.  Ugh.. Hope this is the last cold snap of the winter!

My dad is still not going #1 on his own but hopefully he will.  He is getting around without need of a walker or a cane and about the same.  I'm hoping in the next few weeks he can gain some more strength and maybe do some slight exercise like walking around the block.  We'll see.  I don't want to push him but sitting around the house isn't really building up strength either. He needs to gain about 20 pounds too, but hopefully that will happen too. 

He does get tired and doesn't like to get phone calls in the evening.  His own sister called him a few nights ago but he wasn't in the mood  to talk.  Both my folks can be very finicky.  They are definitely set in their ways!  Lord help us all! :-)

Well tomorrow is finally Friday.  Yippee!!

One of those strange days..

It started out with snow flurries (rare around here) and ended up being a sunny day hitting the high 50's. But that is fine with me as that was just nice enough for my walk before dinner.  I hadn't walked in 4 days and I really like to keep up with it, plus the dogs like it too since I pick a different one each time.  Today I took Molly the bark-aholic.   She even barks at nothing, just sort of announcing to all that she is coming down the street I guess.

Keeping this short tonight. Headed to bed.

Hump day yet?

This is turning out to be one of those weeks that seems like it should be at least Thursday by now. Oye!  This morning the road was pretty dry at least.  There is a chance of some light snow tomorrow again.  And in Dallas they may get 1-3 inches so it may be a repeat of yesterday with a skeleton crew to work on things.  Oh well that is why I love my job working at home. :-)))

Watching TV with one of the furkids in my lap. Typing with one finger again. Had some fried cabbage (fried in leftover bacon grease) with dinner tonight. It was yummy! 

Not much else to blog about right now.  Until tomorrow...

Never far enough South!

Just can't get far enough south to avoid the arctic front.  Right now it is 26 degrees out according to the Internet. This morning there was some drizzling rain turning to ice coming down. Hubby had to scrape the windshield of his truck so that I could get to my dad's to help with his morning catheter.  Hubby was sweet and offered to drive. They really don't treat the roads around here and I wasn't sure how they would be.

Turns out it was much worse in Dallas area and my employer's main office there was shut down for the day.  I was given some different things to cover for those who were out and it made for an interesting day.

I thought for sure when we moved out to Texas nearly 10 years ago now, that I would never have to worry about ice and weather in the 20's!  Ugh!  I can't complain too much since I don't have to drive to work every day.  We've been lucky too that the back porch has not frozen so we haven't had to put salt down for the dogs.

Next week is March right?   This is Central Texas right?....Bring on the 70's March and no teasers...STAY warm !
