About Me

My photo
I am a fun loving mom and wife to my wonderful husband, Ted. We were married 25 years ago in 1985. I saw him, and I picked him up. He was wearing a tag that read "AS IS, No Refunds or Returns". I fell in ♥ love and took him home! We have five...count 'em FIVE sons that are going to make some amazing husbands one day! That's because I am trying to teach them the necessities of life and preparing them for the "push" out of the nest when they will learn to fly on their own. Of course, they might not think it's such a great idea to be pushed, until they realize what it is like to SOAR on your own strength! I work at home and maintain my BLOG space as best and regularly as I can! My passion in life is to be a listening ear and gentle answer to those who have been beat up, disillusioned, torn down and tossed away in life. I know the pains that life and other people's choices can bring you, and I also know what you need to "pick you up" when you feel hopeless!

...the view from here...

Well, being in Kansas City with Ted has made it somewhat more difficult to stay consistent with my daily postings here, but I am trying!!!

Today, we awoke to about 4 inches of snow. Until now, I have watched how the weather works here. It snows, it blows, people crash, and it's gone... today, I have learned that the snow actually DOES STAY in Missouri when it's deep enough! And oh how still things are around here! NO ONE wants to MOVE here. Pretty funny, considering this is probably a typical snow in MN and IA.

It's STILL snowing, though. And given the way I have seen KC respond, I'm not so confident in my plan to leave for home tomorrow. I am confident in my vehicle, but the way people seem to "freeze" (no pun intended) with snow around here, THEIR unpredictability of response is what makes me most nervous. The highways here are all THREE lanes, but when it snows, no one spans out -- they all use ONE.

You can't define the parking lot from the sidewalk here -- except for where the cars are. I guess they don't plow here either!

Regarding my money making endeavor... it's the weekend, I took it off to "play" with my husband!
