Snow's Here! With more a-comin'!

Snow makes me giddy! Snow gives me tingles! Now I'm sure if I was working and tomorrow or Wednesday I'd have to sludge through the crap I would feel very different. But I don't work out of my home, and I don't have to sludge through it, HOORAY! for me. So I spent my day preparing for the foot of snow we are forecasted to receive. And by preparing, I mean grocery shopping of course. HELLO! you HAVE to have the snowed-in essentials. I got lots of milk for the hot chocolate I shall be making for those children that come in from the snow freezing and in need of internal thawing, warming, and general coziness. With that is the marshmallows. Darned Walmart was out of the awesome holiday marshmallows that were in stock a week ago, but alas that was a week ago, and I made a fruit salad with holiday marshmallows for our church's potluck Christmas bingo party. So regular mini-marshmallows will do.



Also made the mistake of asking my husband what he would like for dinners this week, seeing as I will be wanting to be cozy and cooking. He replied with the usual suspects: Chili/cinnamon rolls, tonight we're serving Chicken Parmesan and pasta, with a salad. Although my headache is zapping all my cooking energy. Also I will be marinating and cooking a brisket probably for Wednesday's menu. Its kind of nice when my week is planned, menu-wise. It takes a lot of energy to think of new things, and I like to try new things and make my kids mature their palates. I also plan on a turkey meatloaf with roasted root veggies and squash. Sweet potatoes, small red potatoes, carrots, red onion, butternut squash and a little olive oil and most likely a dash of Italian seasonings of some sort. MMMMM!!

I took a bit of a break in my blogging. I had to save my post til the next day. So here we are on Tuesday, in the thick of the snow storm. Probably 10" already on the ground. The boys are out for round two. The wind is blowing so hard, but do they care? Ummm...NOT! They would stay out for hours and hours. OJ and Sam are in total veg-land on my bed watching cartoons. Wyatt's napping, Jarrod's making the chili, I'm waiting to finish the cinnamon rolls. I may come out the other side of this snow storm 5 lbs heavier, but its so cozy and lovely in my house.

Turned on Country Christmas music channel on my TV. The Judds are singing "Winter Wonderland" Really does it get better?

Sometimes I swear my posts are so random, I think I had a more clear vision of this entry last night, but its long gone now. Ah well.
