Well the first of the Ice Storms have hit. I have missed 2 1/2 days of work for this ice storm. This pathetic excuse of an Ice Storm. I call it pathetic because last year looked more drastic and devastating however we never lost power. What I don't understand (Heather & Michelle you can probably back me up on this) is the minute a drop of snow falls or the potential of ice to hit the ground the schools are closing. When I was growing up it was next to impossible to get a snow day. You couldn't see outside your windows for all the snow and the roads were an ice skating rink. That only meant first period was off. Am I right? Of course Michelle was the smart one (I think)... she is reaping the benefits we never had growing up.
I probably wouldn't be so bitter if I was getting compensated for the days missed or if I didn't continue to pick jobs that expect you to come to work no matter what!
Anyway, enough of my ranting, here are a few pics for those in Florida. Those in Mass... this is nothing to what you go through. I bet schools don't close there the minute Mr. Freeze Mizer so much as sneezes.

I don't remember a single snow day, but I do remember skipping school and playing sick. ;)
You left Florida to get out of the heat and the same weather every day..sunny and bright high of 85
I have a couple pics to post when I get back home too! I have never in my life heard of anyone here going without power for this long. It is crazy! Have you seen THE 100+ power trucks that line up to work each day from 7-7 at that old Albertson's? It's quite a sight. AND...I can't figure out how they keep missing my neighborhood RIGHT BY THEM!
I know it is crazy!! I work for Swadley's and we teamed up with OG&E to feed their workers 3X a day as well as have showers, snacks and god knows what else for them. It was supposed to be 150-300 ppl/day. It is now over 3000ppl.
Really come stay with us. We have plenty of room.
I made it home! My power was out 6 days. They got it back on Saturday at about 6:00 pm. They actually worked inthe snow and 25 degree weather. Yeah for me!!
Thank you so much for your offer. That was sooooo kind! :)
WELCOME HOME! Good to know you are safe and WARM!
