Look at our deck, snow free! That is mostly because my husband shoveled most of it off. You can still see snow on the ground.
But the piles have gotten much smaller. We have no snow in the forecast, and above freezing temps during the day, which means it will continue to melt, but below freezing temps overnight, which means early in the morning can be dangerous driving, as the runoff from the melting snow freezes into a slick layer of ice. What's this? Snow forecasted for next Saturday? I refuse to believe it.
Can you see the dirt on the driveway? That is the the one thing about winter that drives me insane. That and the static electricity. There is always sand in my mudroom. Tons and tons of sand. The sound of it under my feet makes me cringe. And with six people walking in and out of this house every day, it is always present.
What's New
Daughter will be home tonight! Spring break. Hopefully she will look kindly on me and clean the house while I work. Sometimes she is good that way. Sometimes.
I am sick with some virus. Mucus abounds. Possible sinus infection? Can't get in to see the doctor until Monday afternoon. Yes! I found Mucinex in my cabinet, and it wasn't expired! Hopefully it will keep me going. I have two bookkeeping jobs to do and I don't need to be stopping every two minutes to blow my nose.
Son 3 has state swim competitions this weekend.
The women in my family are too sick to get together for St. Patrick's Day. We are not Catholic, but we do have some Irish heritage, so we have a family tradition of getting together for corned beef and cabbage and watching The Quiet Man. I will probably make the meal for my immediate family on Tuesday since I can throw everything in a slow cooker.
What's On My Mind
I am so tired. Tax season is getting harder for me as I get older, because I teach seminary early in the morning. I asked if they were going to get someone else for next year (they like us to teach for a four year cycle, and this is the last year of my second cycle). My kids have one more year to go, so they may keep me on for one more year. My husband thinks I should teach it next year since I have to take the boys anyway.
