~The Daily Grind~ 1/7/10

[PrincessNancy96]

Well, we just got the phone call.... while they are keeping the kids till the end of the day... afterschool activities are canceled! YEAH!!

After that phone call, I got a call from my BFF from home... her mom is on life support (knew that information).... bless her heart... I hope Mom pulls through.... I need to get up there to see her this weekend.... as her 2nd daughter she needs to know I'm there.. Than she tells me her DH was in a car wreck on one of the country roads after taking her Ds15 to school.. they are transfering him to another hospital to evaluate his head injury... so depending on what we hear in a few hours since the game is canceled, I may have DH take me to her..... we will have to see about the weather.. she puts me on hold.. comes back crying even more.. it's the school her DS15 was hurt and needed transported to the hospital by school because he hurt his leg walking in this nasty weather from the ag building to the school building... so I'm waiting to hear from her to see how her son is... luckily we were able to reach her dad and he was headed to the hospital to be with her son.... MY gosh, I wish I lived closer to help out.... I told her to come stay here tonight.... I'll have to really push the issue.. Grandpa (her dad) can take care of the boys...
Anyway, if anyone could send her some prayers and pixie dust it would be appreciated...

Nan, sending pixie dust and prayers to your friend!

Home early due to a SNOW DAY!! We got out at 1 pm, and it is coming down! I'm hoping to be out tomorrow!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Nan! Hugs and Pixie Dust for your BFF.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh Nan. That is just terrible.

Pixie Dust being sent your way and your friend's way.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Nan, I feel so sorry for your bff. , prayers, and pixie dust for her and her family.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Thanks all... no info yet.. I've sent texts and calls.. no returns.. ;(

Than we got our insurance policy and they lost all of DD's info that I submitted on 12/2.. DH is NOT playing nice w/ the agent.... He is down stairs being very vocal but polite... NOT me, that is why DH is dealing w/ this.. I'm not paying for what they screwed up.. I upheld my duty as a parent and insurance holder.... EEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Still snowing... the elem kids say the sidewalks at school were slick and they were trying to hurry kids to the busses and were encouraging running.. REALLy?

 

[TinkerBean]

Nan, I will keep your BFF and her family in my thoughts.

Nan, I will keep your BFF and her family in my thoughts.

Me too. Sure puts my day into perspective!

I met my friend for breakfast at a Panera not too far away, but not too close either. Left there a little after 10:00 am and did a bunch of errands, Target, ACM, Old Navy, etc. I got to The Paper Store to return my item and couldn't find my credit card. Well, I'm kind of forgetful, so I assumed it was at home (I had taken it out of one bag to bring with me, because I'm not keeping it in my regular carry around bag so I won't use it). So, I did some more errands, grocery store, bread store, etc., and get home and there's a message from Panera. I dropped my credit card and the manager had it, they locked it up. All well and good, but I had to go back and get it. Errrr, sometimes I even amaze myself at my stupidity!

So, while it was a pain in my butt to have to go BACK to Panera, it's no where near as much as your friend is going through. My thoughts are with her.

We're getting pounded with the white stuff here....

We had a meeting this afternoon, and I looked out about 2:30. It was snowing but not sticking. I left at 3:00 to pick up the boys from school (regular dismissal) and it was terrible. Slushy, snow covered roads, ick. The public schools dismissed at 12:30, but the boys' school did not. You can pick up your kids if you want to, and they don't count it against them. The public schools have been canceled for tomorrow already, and I'm guessing the boys' will too.

Nan, your friend and her family are in my prayers.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Nan, keep me posted. I have to get DH soon but will have my phone handy.

Did they at least take DS to the same hospital as her DH?

 

[rlovew]

Nan,

I will be praying for your friend's family- what a day! i hope you are able to get through things and be with her tonight- it sounds like she needs it.

Oh Nan I'm just now getting caught up. I'm so sorry for you
friend. Sounds like her plate is not full but overflowing. I
will keep her in my thoughts. Hugs to her.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

The weatherman is saying we could get SNOW tomorrow!!!!! DS is so excited and is hoping for a snow day off of school. He's never had one before. We usually get hurricane days, but never snow days!

 

[morgansmom2000]

How much? Wow, how exciting. We're supposed to get some too, but I think just flurries.

 

[party of 3]

It better be just flurries. Not in the mood for anything more.
And I want to go to the crop and if it's anything more than
flurries dh will have to plow and I can't go!!!!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I'm sure it wouldn't be much, probably flurries or sleet, but no matter how much, it'll cause chaos.

 

[joyah]

Nan your friend is in my prayers.
Holly wishing for no snow for you so you can go play, please send it all north we NEED it.

While your all praying if you could add one in for Kevin Pearce I'd appriciate it. Tom worked for his fathers company and we knew all the kids years ago. Simon Pearce glass is one of the area's big employers, many of our friends are still employed there. For those wondering who Kevin is he was pretty much a shoe in for the US Olympic team in snowboarding. His parents are some of the most down to earth large corporate owners.

As for Dad things are on an uphill swing he did lots of walking today but still no food. They are taking it VERY slow because they messed with the bowels so much. Mom and I are slightly nervous as his DR is leaving to see his son play hockey in Canada tom and he'll be a 6 hour drive away.

Work went well I'm scared to death to fly solo tomorrowbut will muddle through. We did as much prep as we could cause tomorrow is a double day. 2 fris we do breakfast as well.
My foot is still killing me and as I type it is soaking for the 2nd hour in epson salt. Mom looked at it tonight an has no clue they tried poking the spots and nothing came out. Tom said it looks a little better changed my water and went too bed. I;m going to probablly spen the night in the chairsoaking it.

Typing on the boys crummy old slow laptop so please excuse me.
off to try to do some catch up.

 

[Lisa]

Lisa, yay on the cost savings! DH will be so please he doesn't have to cut anything out of *his* budget (yet).

I still think we should go ahead and still identify a line item. I am sure there is something they don't need, and always something we do.

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. What a terrible time she is going thru right now.

Christy, I hope your foot feels better soon.

Stephanie, hard to believe sn@w is in your forecast but none for ours. Since your area isn't used to it, I recommend hunkering down and stay off the roads until it clears up. People who are used to sn@w can't drive in it either though.

Holly, are they saying sn@w up your way? Noooooooooooooooo
