I'm thankful for the snow

Although I detest icy roads and bitter cold, I am thankful the snow came and allowed my work to be closed. Since I took off on Wednesday due to our family trauma, I will have had 5 days off by the time Sunday rolls around. That is nice. Even though the beginning of the week was not very fun, I have been able to relax, cook and get tons of laundry done. We have not left the house since the storm hit, but we are venturing out tomorrow to do some more Christmas shopping. Tristan will be going to grandma and grandpa's to play. He is very excited about that.

I was the one who got to tell Taylor's mom about her latest episode. She and I spent a long time on the phone, and I must say, that this is one of the few times if not actually the first, that we agree on what to do with the situation. That's like a major miracle. She came and got Taylor yesterday as she was worried about the storm getting too bad to get her today. They ended up having issues today and called Chance. He spent a great deal of time on the phone with them today. So even though there's been trauma, it's not been located in our house. It has been peaceful.

We've done a lot of cleaning and rearranging. Let me rephrase that...Chance has. I just took care of laundry and the kitchen and the cooking. He nests every winter. It's really kinda cute and actually nice for us all. We've downsized in our room again, and especially our desk. It is nice to have room and not a bunch of papers hanging over my keyboard. I plan to get to Tristan's room soon. I'm clearing out some clothes and toys for Caden. Hope he likes them! And I actually started my Christmas card list and getting the kids' pictures ready.

While looking at blogs, I realized that I never finished my video thing (like Sara has on her blog) of our vacation. I think I may work on that tonite. It will give me something new to do.

Well I don't have much to say. Later.
