Sleet

The kids finally hit the jackpot today. About a half inch of sleet fell and it was declared a snow day. The weathermen threatened it could happen all week. We have learned no to trust them too much. I was scheduled to work at ALC today. Benton Public Schools played the game "How late can we wait to cancel school?" I was dressed and ready to go by the time I received a phone call to cancel. That is soooo not fair. I took advantage of the day off to read almost the entire day. I did squeeze in some laundry so I don't have to feel too guilty. It is amazing how little ice it takes to drag the bushes and small trees down to the ground. Sarah invited a friend over. Clearly unconcerned if she could make it back home or not. They are currently playing with her dishes cooking and serving the sleet.

All is well here. Mike was scheduled to work in Oklahoma this week. Weather and other issues canceled the trip. He is thrilled to be home and not worrying about the roads. He is reading almost the entire Ted Dekker series. Travel has definitely made him more of a reader. We are both drooling over the new iPad. The Amazon Kindle is tempting but Apple will crush that easily.

Sarah has me hooked on a new cd. Owl City is the name of the group and Ocean Eyes is the album. It's happy, happy music. We are both addicted.
