imbecamielHad a couple interesting days, here. Starting off with - Spring? Hahahaha. Not so much. Got... over 12 inches of snow yesterday, I believe. I'd have appreciated it a whole lot more closer to the middle of winter. Particularly coming on the heels of the eight inches or so we got last week. Heh.
We did manage to get into town before the snowcover got too heavy, though, because Nef and I were babysitting a family of five kids while their parents are out of town yesterday afternoon through tonight. Fortunately the parents got to their hotel alright, if a bit late... Our own family was slightly less fortunate.
We got an email from Mom at about a 10:30 pm to let us know that Dad's truck had gone into the creek ditch behind our house. Thankfully both he and our brother were okay - they were in the process of plowing our driveway so Dad could get to work in the morning, and neither of them were wearing seatbelts at the time (since they often need to get in and out while plowing), so it could have been a lot worse. Doesn't even look like the truck was too badly damaged in the end. But of course they weren't able to get a tow truck out at that time of night, or even early this morning, so Dad wasn't able to get in to work until about noon today.
Other than that it's been a fun couple of days, though. My level of exhaustion at the end of the days has me questioning my capabilities as a future mother but... everyone got fed good meals on time, everyone got their chores and schoolwork done (they're all homeschooled, so we were teaching/supervising work today), no one got hurt, and nothing got destroyed. So all in all I count it a success. *bg*
