Super slick

We did get some snow, probably 6 or 8 inches but it was so wet that it was almost like an ice snow mix. It did stick to the ground but after I shoveled the driveway and sidewalks, it really didn’t stick there anymore. I shoveled 4 or 5 times to get it to that point as in the morning it was piling up. The point is that the water content in the snow was so high that all the sidewalks have a sheet of ice on them this morning that would rival any skating rink. It’s super slick out there and all the leftover snow is hard as a rock. The snow plows came by late yesterday and left a good sized barrier on each side of the road where they pushed the snow. Thankfully I saw this coming and shoveled ours away as it would be tough to move this morning.

I took the boys sledding yesterday along with Ben the neighbor kid, who spent the day with us as his Mom had to go somewhere. As usual, they had a blast, what kid doesn’t like sledding.

The freakin dog woke me up again at 4:30. I’m not sure what to do here as we’re feeding her later in the day so she might sleep longer. Something has to give though as I just cannot be woken up at 4 or 4:30 every morning. It just ruins my whole day as I can’t get back to sleep. Yes I’m an early riser but I need to wake up on my own, naturally, not when  she decides it’s time for her to eat. Soon she’ll be sleeping in the garage if she doesn’t knock it off.

Last night daylight savings time kicked in so that means we all “spring forward” by an hour or we lose an hours worth of sleep. It also means it’ll be light out now until 6:30 or 7 and even longer as the days stretch towards summer.

I have some work, actually lots of work, to do today to get ready for the coming week. Ty is up with me right now but Jag wanted to sleep in. Mom of course, is also sleeping in. We’re pretty much opposites when it comes to sleeping, I get up early and she can sleep late.

Time to run as the youngest is waiting for the computer to play some game. Hope everyone is well, take care and God Bless.
