It is Rodeo time in the small town . The Carnival is here. The school children from all over are showing their animals for scholarship money. Everyone who owns boots breaks them out and becomes and cowboys and cowgirl . Anything that can hold a person and be call a float will be in the parade . Marching bands from all the schools, cheerleaders, any organizations. Any I haven’t attended one in many years but I wonder do they still make those flowers out of tissue ?
I pick the girls up around 3:08pm everyday . And Monday they decided at 5pm when I got off they wanted to go to the Carnival. Sweet. I get an evening to myself. I dropped them off. And headed home. Changed clothes. Put chicken on the smoker and 15 mins later. I get a text . Hi Huffy can you come get us ? Are you kidding me ?? It took me 30 mins to get home. You claimed to Love rides . I think you did not. So I turn off the smoker . And put gas in Opal and head back across town . I asked if they ate dinner .They replied a Chili dog and a churro . Alright please don’t puke .
Tuesdays temperature when we all got up this morning was our high. Currently 44 the low 29 and a possibility of SNOW ! As much as I want a snow day I don’t really want to be trapped at home with two people I have to cook for. And clean up after. But I could color my hair and do my nails . Clean out my closet . Which my closet really , really needs to be done. It looks like a teenagers . No wink in the eye. And I assure everyone on campus wants a snow day.
SNOW DAY !!!!! it happened. It sleeted all night. I was up probably ever two hours looking for snow like a little girl looking for Santa Claus on Christmas. And all I every heard was sleet . I thought there is no way we are going to work with all that. 7:12am the President sent and email that we follow local school policy on weather . 7:21am Yvette said local cancelled school. 7:40 Campus sent the Text and there we had a snow day . Then I thought man now I’m stuck at home with people. So I told one no school and I got Really ? and she rolled over . The next one Yay! And the cover came up over her head and they were out til 1:15pm no kidding. So not breakfast , Apparently they didn’t want lunch. They just sit on the couch. They don’t go to the kitchen to get food. So weird. I was productive I painted my bathroom wall where my hair gel decided to not spray but rather spit all over the place everywhere but my hair . And Derek has not letting me live it down. I ran to get Goldie and Louie food. ( goldfish) It did finally snow . I worked on Real Estate. Started Taxes . Moved the living room furniture around . Attempted to make a fire in the fireplace . Dinner was parmesan chicken with all that was left over was one small piece of chicken. I had cabin fever and sent out on a 2 mile walk in 28 degree weather. I might be crazy . But others did it earlier in the day with their babies.
Thursday was a Sadly Sunny day Windy Cold . Gold Rush Pancakes for breakfast . I cheated for dinner and picked up Chick fil A . Which the girls have not had that dinner only breakfast . But to be honest I have never really fix dinner on Thursday . It’s always been mac n cheese. There were no complaints. And hey there was even an origami heart made out of the chick fil bag . Never seen that happen . They decided with the that I am a photographer. They looked at pictures for an hour on the computer . Where we learned Allison’s American nickname is Sophie . Oh Now you tell me ! They worked on the teaching plan and I cleaned the house . Yay me !
Welcome to Friday at 5am I laid in bed thinking I really do not want to mess up my clean kitchen . I really just want to go get donuts. or kolachaes and be done. But then I will want to eat the a donut . And I really can’t eat one. So I dragged myself out of bed and did my hair and my face and went to the kitchen and made pink and orange pancakes. It was hard . I so did not want to . I packaged a brownie and grapes. And at lunch once again I cleaned a bath tub of hair and grime and I do not understand for the life of me WHY they do not clean the drain off!!!!! It’s their hair. Do they not want the tub to drain ? Do they enjoy it filling up ? Seriously considering not cleaning it next week. Just to see if they complain about it not draining. But then it will be SUPER GROSS.
So I forgot them at school seriously after just typing about about that bathtub I never even thought about picking them up from school. My coworker and I just about died . And on that note I have no idea what we are doing this weekend. I haven’t even heard from Derek in two days not that he wants to hang out with us. But I’m thinking Enchanted Rock , get yummy food in Kerrville on the way home. We shall see.
Until Next time
