Last night the first snowfall of the season rolled into town around 10pm. It’s a heavy wet snow, so heavy that it collapsed the tent that Uncle T and Aunt B put up for Mojo to protect him from the rain while we were in Italy. All the branches of all the trees are also bent over almost touching the ground. I’ve already knocked the snow off the trees in the front yard but the back will have to wait until sunrise.
Yesterday my excel class was really good. I made it to Uncle T’s by about 4:45 to pick up the boys. We rushed home to quickly clean the house before Mom arrived home from work. The oldest jumped right in and vacuumed the house while the little guy emptied all the trash cans and picked up clothes and shoes. She had to go back to work at 9:45pm for an hour meeting and made it home by 11pm. I can’t believe they have meetings that late.
Tomorrow is supposed to be field day at school but I don’t know with all this wet snow and cold temperatures. Obama is in town today to collect some more money for his reelection efforts. He’s in that mode where he’s trying to give everyone money to buy their votes. Yesterday it was some kind of homeowners relief in Vegas, but only for those current on payments, underwater, and here’s the big one, only if your loan is with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. If everyone who had loans with these two government agencies WAS current and WAS underwater and DID refinance, it would impact about 1 million out of 11 million homeowners underwater. Once again, we’re left out in the cold. Today, trying now to get students to vote for him, he’s proposing cutting rates on what students owe on their loans. I wonder who’s next, maybe homeless guys on street corners will all get vouchers for free whisky to keep them warm on the coming cold nights. I’m sorry to jump into this but I just wish he’d go away. There are 16 bills that would help the economy and create some jobs, sitting in the Senate but they won’t vote on them (thanks Harry Reid, the man who said the private sector is fine and that it’s the government employees that need help, even though their average salary is $125K compared to about $45K in the private sector????), as they do not want the republicans to get any kind of victory. You see it works both ways. I’m afraid we’re in for a long painful ride the way things are going.
Alright back to our little corner of the World. Tomorrow we have the museum dinner and then I’m in Seattle all day Friday. Lots of work today getting ready for my meeting so no time to dally. (can’t remember when I ever used that word?) Hopefully the misses is feeling better today. We still need to get the boys costumes ready for Monday night. The youngest keeps changing his mind daily on what he’s going to be. We’ll keep you posted.
Time to run and get everybody up. I need to brush of the cars too and then hit the trees in the backyard. Hope everyone is well, take care and we’ll see you tomorrow.
