So the girls are finally back in school. After 4 days out due to the blizzard and the cold temps. THANK GOD! Yesterday they were going at it with each other like rabid dogs. Constantly fighting. Then this morning they were laughing and joking about some inside joke they have.
Go Figure?!
We're supposed to get even more snow this weekend.
I am so ready for SPRING!

The twitter hashmarks include that one, *mwblizzard, blizzardofOZ, mwblizzard and many more. The KCI airport closed about an hour ago, highways have been shut down and the Kansas City mayor has declared a state of emergency and schools are out for another day.
We watched a UPS truck sliding around in front of our house today. The husband stayed home today and might tomorrow too.
Speaking of blizzards, I took part in Household6diva's Blizzard Bloghop last week. This was at the same time Blissdom was being held. Since some many of us were unable to attend, she thought this would be a great idea for us to meet each other. She held giveaways too.
I was very surprised to learn that I won one of the giveaways. I won The Pioneer Women Cooks cookbook given away by the Household6diva herself.
I am so thankful to win it. I had been thinking about buying it for the past week and was so surprised when I found out.
I can't wait to start cooking some of the recipes inside.
Thanks again Household6diva!
I hope everyone is safe and warm while we are in this Blizzard of 2011.

Snowmaggedon
I guess I shouldn't have joked about blizzards and tsnowmias and such. Look at this:
BLIZZARD WARNING!
Yeah and FEMA has already issued warnings and now Gov Nixon has declared a state of emergency and activated the MO Natl Guard.
I called husband and told him to pick up some firewood on the way home. We haven't used the fireplace at all this year. But since our power lines are above ground I am worried about losing power.
I've made sure the flashlights are working, got my oil lamp ready and filled some water jugs. Hopefully it won't be as bad as predicted, but better safe than sorry.
Stay tuned for some more news.
Funny thing is someone on the live twitter for KMBC brought up that movie, "Day After Tomorrow" Almost funny.... I don't do cold very well... meaning at all..
I'll see you folks tomorrow, unless we lose power. *cross your fingers that we don't**

Memory Lane
I've noticed a trend in the blog world. Most of them: 1) are pregnant 2)have little ones under the age of five or 3) are trying to get pregnant.
I don't fit into any of those categories. My girls are 14 and 12, and moving up in age this summer. We don't have any plans on having more either. No, we are not trying for a boy, and no we don't want another baby. Sometimes I do have a brief moment of wanting another one. I have friends who are pregnant or have just had a baby. I love holding them, picking out little clothes or toys, but that is as far as it goes.
We will be just turning 40 when our youngest graduates high school. We are younger than most of our girls' friends too.
I was reading around alot of the blogs and saw how many share things about their little ones. I decided why not share what it was like for me when I was pregnant or things from when the girls were little. And that is how Memory Lane was started.
This one is about Katie.
I got pregnant with Katie when I was 19. Way back in 1995. So much has changed since then, especially in the OB/GYN world. I was horribly sick with her, I had morning sickness. What a joke, just call it puke your guts up morning, noon and night sickness! They gave me pills that were supposed to help. They didn't. Neither did small meals, ginger ale, or crackers. The only thing I could hold down was Hardee's Peach Cobbler!
That stuff was SO GOOD! Eventually it went away about my 5th or 6th month. Then I just craved everything! Omelets with everything, V8 tomato juice, if I had hated it before I was pregnant, I now craved it!
Speaking of food, when a friend of ours found out she was pregnant and came back from the doctors with a book of things she could not eat. (Just kidding about the book, but it was a long list)
She cut out all salt from her foods, she wouldn't have lunch meat in her house, she wouldn't eat eggs because they could possibly be undercooked, she even cut out sugar and caffeine. I mean none! No sugar, no caffeine.
She was a new mom so I give her a pass. Plus she had bought every baby book at Borders. And we all know how some of those books are. SCARE THE SOON TO BE MOMMY! is what they should be titled.
But I made it, all the way through my pregnancy with Katie, although I thought with the way she was moving around in me that I was going to be like that guy on Aliens and she would burst through my stomach and run away.
I went into labor on June 5 or so I thought. It was just that weird feeling, I wasn't hurting just kept feeling uncomfortable. We went to the hospital, and find out that our doctor may not be able to make it..........
To be continued.
