Nika happened here...

well, we are ok...

furnace guy will be here after 4pm...

in the meanwhile...

we are warm...

very warm...

and the neighbor plowed us out around noon...

so all of this has been moved...

and she is covered up now...

the winds are blowing and drifting the snow...

DH's arm is better...

still sore, but better...

he called in this morning because of the furnace...

so they told him if its still sore tomorrow...

they will be taking him to the company doctor in Decatur...

Craig is going to try to go to work at 4...

not sure if he will get there or not...

hang in there...

this cannot last forever...

glad we don't get these winter's too often...

;)

before and during...

before...

just as it was getting started...

during...

before...

during...

its not finished yet...

at almost 3am, its still coming down...

the winds will pick up...

and start blowing it everywhere...

roads are terrible and the state is telling everyone to stay home...

everything is cancelled and everyone with any sense is hunkered down...

I would imagine until Thursday at the soonest...

so, asking for prayers...

DH fell at work yesterday going in for lunch...

landing on his elbow and he thinks something in his arm is broken...

roads are too bad to get anywhere, and its not life threatening...

so, staying put for now...

I got up at midnight cold...

so came in and kicked the furnace up a bit...

nothing...

its not working...

the pilot was out, they finally got that lit...

still nothing...

I have the heating pad under the babies...

oven is on, water boiling on top...

and the electric heating running in our bathroom/ bedroom for now...

will move that around as needed...

the guys are back in bed, I am manning the first shift...

no one can get to us...

for now...

asking prayers for those in the south who are in the massive ice storm...

got a special gal that way...

Jettie with the new hip...

tree came through their bedroom ceiling last night...

they hadn't gone to bed yet...

they are ok, but its a long night there, too...

and you know there are so many others trying to manage this storm system...

got 2 more moving in after this one...

prayers for all of you going through this or worse...

keep the faith, God has our backs...

;)

running a little late on my post today...

but I did two yesterday...

does that count?

just some shots of my kitchen table...

this is what I see when I am on the laptop...

and what's in the little crock bowl?

what you would expect in my bowl...

gearing up for the storm here...

they say it will start snowing by 2pm...

and snow for 24 hours...

I am thinking its going to be in the higher part of their prediction...

so looking for 8 inches...

maybe more...

and we will have enough wind for a white out...

Craig said he is heading home as soon as it starts snowing...

Steve will leave when work is done...

he is stubborn that way...

be safe, be warm and just stay in...

;)

there are just some days that it pays to be on the bottom...

got a few shots outside this morning...

it was nice in the sun and no wind...

and we still have some snow left...

and will be adding to it tomorrow afternoon...

see the sparkle?

you would think that Donna had been by, but I know she is far south in warm weather...

maybe she sprinkled as she went through...

she is such the glitter queen...

and someone is being a bad influence on the youngsters...

MrWiggles is showing Lester how to get off the deck...

which is not a good thing...

and mama is doing so good now...

and the kiddos, too...

and so the name of the post...

its good to be on the bottom of the pile on cold, snowy days...

its warmer down there...

had a decent day...

takes awhile to work things lose so I can move...

took a couple of naps...

Craig worked today, and with the winter storm coming in...

I imagine it was a nuthouse...

he will be so tired when he gets home...

sounds like this storm is going to be a butt kicker...

and I am staying in like they are telling everyone to do...

I hope the guys get to work and back ok...

or I will be snowed in alone...

;)

I am not worried...

I have neighbors who will rescue me if I need it...

well, sounds like my boy is home...

got groceries to put up...

have a good night and a good morning...

some of my fun stuff...

oh, the weather man just said some nasty things...

another storm and more snow...

coming in tomorrow and Wednesday...

right now, they have us in the 6-8, maybe more category...

is this ever going to end?

I hope so...

just think, in four weeks, it will be March...

in a couple weeks, Valentine's...

you know that's a holiday just so you have enough chocolate to make it until spring, don't you?

I am going slow this morning...

I hurt pretty bad...

so heading back to bed and hope its better when I wake up again...

y'all have a good day...

;)
