Personal Catch Up & Random Rambling

I've spent the last few posts talking about different aspects and tools of my job and we will get back to that soon. I just wanted to take the opportunity to catch up on what is going on in other areas!

Things have calmed down since the ice storm and the high winds that came through the week after. All my family members finally got power. Remember my sister and her husband way out in the Caneyville, Kentucky woods? They only got their power back last Thursday, Feb. 12th. Keep in mind that the ice came on like January 27th.

I enjoyed visiting with some friends from my former church tonight. It's always nice to see my "second set of parents!" They remind me a lot of my parents and are always very nice and fun to be around. I am, though, settling into and enjoying attending the new church I've been going to. I've been attending Little Flock in Shepherdsville since last April. I enjoy the upbeat music and nice people I have met there!

I'm also staying busy with work as you can see in my other posts. It's the time of year when we start looking ahead to and planning for the new year. Regarding the budget cut issue, we are hoping it will not affect us as we work on renewing our grant and anticipate money for the school district from the state will not be in jeopardy.

I just realized and remembered that my niece Chelsea will turn 6 next week. She was born not quite a year after I moved back here after my marriage separation and ended up in Bullitt County. It doesn't seem like I've been here that long and it definitely doesn't seem like little "Chelsea bug" should SIX!!

February is always a busy month with work and we are slowly but surely making it through. I am definitely ready for spring weather.

Have a great Evening!

Ready to go Back to the Routine!

Well I'm in the evening of our 5th school day off from the ice storm. We were off Tuesday-Friday of last week and now here on Monday. We are being told we are going back tomorrow, but on the other hand the meteorologists are telling us that there is a chance of snow. We will hope and pray that snow stays away. We aren't even completely rid of what we had. Like I said previously I was all about the snow last Tuesday but not ICE and 5 days out of school.

Oh well, things happen and it will be nice to finally be back to the routine. Yes, we'll all be ready for a day off again soon, but we need to get back in school and get the routine and consistency going again for ourselves as well as the students.

I was productive today. I got my taxes done on Turbo Tax online and that turned out nicely with good little refund coming.

As we return to work, I hope to have some more exciting things to add to the blog. After being home for so long, I'm running out of things to write about.

Hope your Monday evening is great!

I've Rejoined Society..mostly...

Hello everyone! What a winter weather mess we have had here in Kentucky. We got hit hard here in Bullitt County and all parts throughout! My family in Grayson County is still in the dark with no phone service.

I lived without power from sometime in the middle of the night Tuesday until about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. Needless to say I was getting quite cold! I think that's the longest stretch I've ever had to go without power. God bless everyone who is still without. After the electricity was back on, my Internet was down all day today and I still have no cable. But at least I have HEAT!! I got caught up on my house cleaning and laundry today without the TV and internet to distract me.

Keep all the families in your prayers that are here in the Louisville area as well as the Leitchfield and Grayson County area and all over Kentucky who are still waiting for their electric to be restored.

On Monday night all of my work friends and I were waiting eagerly for ONE snow day or maybe even 2, but not 4!! Hopefully this icy mess gets cleaned up soon and temperatures will be on the rise. The picture below is the view outside of the window of my condo on Wednesay.

I'm ready for spring!
