winter storms

OMG!!! it is ever going to stop. we just got our power back on after being in the dark for 8 days. That isn't easy with 3 kids and animals. But we did survive it. Now it is snowing and they are saying we are supposed to get 5-1 inches today and then tomorrow we are supposed to get another snow storm that is supposed to dump another 7-12 inches on us. I am really starting to hate living in New England. During the ice storm we had a couple of our pines trees lose their tops and one almost hit the house. it was so scary listening to all the branches and trees breaking through out the night of the ice storm. we had a tree down on one side our our neighborhood and then a telephone pole on the other. I didn't really get out to take pictures as I have been so sick with bronchitis. I was in the hospital 2x in the past week. Oh Joy!!! I am already hating and dreading this winter. I just hope it doesn't turn out as bad as last years. Although the dogs are loving the snow and it is hard to get them back in the house after they go out. LOL

We still haven't finished Christmas shopping for the girls and not sure if I am going to be able to get out in the next couple of days to finish it. I finished Aaron up yesterday before this latest storm it. yeah!!
