This week has been a busy one for me.

 

The first three days after the ice storm hit, I stayed at home. The electricity went off on Tuesday morning and I stayed at home until Thursday evening, when I had no phone service, no water and no power. My younger son took me to my eldest daughter

Naomih,

Happy to hear you weathered the storm safely. It's really quite a pain to lose power like that. Everyone around here knows the drill. You get one flush per bathroom, after that the well pump has no power to refill the tank so grab a bucket and fill the tank with pool water. Sometimes if we're really on the ball we fill the tub and avoid the schlep to the pool.

Our grid had a bad transformer so the smallest gust of wind and we'd be out. Fortunately it was fixed so it takes a pretty big storm to knock us out now.

I actually envy you for cleaning. My husband has taken over the cleaning duties which are livable and really not bad, but I would just love to have one week of my former self.

So know as you're shining and polishing some nut out there wishes she was you. :)

hey Naomi:

 

your blogs are always right on money and thought provoking. I sometime agonize over my choices in life, I guess that indicates I still lack faith on God. life will go on wven with wrong choices & we will correct our mistakes if wrong choice were made. so true.

 

along with Wes's blog I am becoming fan of your blog too now.

Naomi,

 

Glad you weathered the storm alright. Good time to start the ol spring cleaning. I know I've started here, doing what I can as I can so that I don't need to nag at my daughter to do things. Less for her to do means a more pleasant experience for me LOL (self-preservation when it involves a teen).
