Remind me why I hang this thing every year



This guy is facing the street the snow is swirling out there





This is our front door yes even snow on the door knob



This is our carpet in the front room and the snow is drifting up against the door, reminds me of South Weber.





...the most common word used to discribe the weather this week COLD! I would dare say it is the most common word used to discrbe the high end of the baromater. It is more than just COLD. Of all the days to cancel school today would have been a good one. I drove to the bus stop (which is only one house and an intersection away) because I thought I would blow away and I knew Jacey would. Many times today I would look out the window and could not see the house across the street, it was a white out for most of the day, you know those pictures I posted in Dec. it was like that x 5. We were planning to come crash the super bowl party this weekend, but that wont be happening...so enjoy it without us and know that we wanted to come.

I have to mention to those not familar with this house the pictures are of our COVERED (another C word) porch, and the horseshoe guy is facing the street. The first 3 pictures were taken around noon. We are all betting that school and work will be CANCELED tomorrow!

I don't want any of you to be worried about us, we are safe and sound and warm. The nice thing about wood burning stoves is that even if the power goes out we still have our main source of heat and hey I have even cooked on the stove before so we will be able to eat still...but we are hoping the power stays on!

So my other C word today is CHEST pain. I am not sure what I did, but man oh man does it HURT!! Working for 9+ years in an orthopedic clinic I am sure it is stemming from my thoracic spine/neck and is a skeletal (bone) problem but I could be wrong so if there are any medical professionals out there that would like to take a stab at diagnosing me, and prescribing a treatment plan other than IBP and ice (already doing that without results) I would be oh so grateful. It is not in my character to go see an actual dr. but if it persists I might just do that! I have rendered myself useless yesterday and today my house and pile of laundry can't take much more neglect. I have to applogize for the lack of kid pictures, but it hurts to hold my camera (I was wondering today if that is what caused the pain) and in order to take pictures of the kids I have to chase them around and get down on the ground holding the camera and I would not be able to get back up afterwards. Okay I am done COMPLAINING (hey it was a C word so it was okay to post) and we all know I could go on but it hurts too much ;)

good night and I hope you guys are all safe and warm too. I hear these storms we are getting are hitting Utah too.
