We are under a Winter Storm Warning…with this round serving up an extra helping of ice.
Following tradition, we set up a tent in the living room for the kids to camp out tonight.
Widespread power outages are expected…so they are tucked in with flashlights in one hand…Oreos in the other.
His Oreos are in his tummy.
We enjoyed a nice hot meal of Cheesy Chicken, rice, and veggies…accepting the fact that our next dinner may be hotdogs on the grill.
The pantry is stocked with all manner of Pop Tarts and other luxuries to make our weekend comfortable…even enjoyable…including my new buddy “Coleman”. 
He is a flameless, catalytic heater that runs off propane…safe to use indoors…without risk of fire, asphyxiation, and death (bonus).
Tommy T is finishing up painting our master bedroom tonight. Thank HEAVENS you don’t need electricity for that. All he needs is an excuse…it is so CLOSE to being finished!!!!
My plans? Off to make a batch of fresh salsa…while my Vitamix can still be powered up. (Must have chips and salsa – so the hot dogs don’t feel so “primal”).
And when I’m done with that…a hot bath…candles…lavender bath salts….and a Philip Elcano CD. If the predictions are accurate, it could be the last hot water my skin feels for some time.
And there is NOTHING like going into an ice storm with a fresh pita.
And with that, I bid you farewell. Please join me in a prayer that our trees don’t fall on our house. Amen.
Oh yes, one more thing…I have a client who has been having contractions regularly. Pray that her labor will hold off until the ice melts. Now really, Amen.
Glad you were able to get your painting done, and that you at least had Thursday to work on it. AND, I'm glad the ice/snow storm wasn't as bad as we thought it might be! :) Looks like your kiddos had a blast! What a fun tradition (the tent in the living room--with the flashlights & Oreos, of course).
