Good Morning.  Another week, another snow storm.  Not so much snow this time around, but freezing rain (rain that falls from the sky, and freezes upon contact, not to be confused with sleet that falls from the sky frozen), on top of the 1-2 inches of snow.  No snow day for Tara, the schools were already closed for a long four day weekend.  No work for Martha, I took a vacation day, giving me three days off, one (tomorrow) without Tara at home!

The squirrels are hanging out on the patio waiting for me to throw them some peanuts.  I feel really bad for them today, it is hard to dig through that crunchy coating.

I hoped to have a fun day with Tara yesterday, but I have come to the conclusion with a teenager (especially a girl) that is almost impossible.  One comment that she took differently than I had intended, ruined the whole rest of the day.   We did a little shopping, went out to lunch, and lots of arguing.  Oy!  It was a CRAPTASTIC DAY.


The dog is sleeping on my feet.  They are nice and toasty.  Only now, I don’t think I can stand up without disturbing her and my coffee is in the other room!

I’m burning this lovely scented candle, hoping that it will bring peacefulness to the house today.

I am going out for lunch with Joanie from Joanie’s Random Ramblings tomorrow.  I read on Facebook that she thinks she is coming down with a cold.  I hope not, we’ve been trying to get this lunch thing together for months!


I started typing this at oh, about 6:30am, and it is now 10:47am…. I guess that is how today is going to go.  Easily distracted!  I have had breakfast, made Tara breakfast, gathered laundry, picked up “clutter”, cleaned the litterbox, taken some photos and shoveled some messy icy/snowy combination off the sidewalk since then!

Homemade waffles (by my mom) with raspberry syrup!  Yummo!

Jumping on the Tuesday Train…. is there a stop where there are no teenagers?




Thanks A-Latte for stopping by!
