No school here. Schools are actually all closed in 2 of our bus districts which never happens. Roads are closed all around us. I was suppose to drive 1.5 hrs today for a ski day. Not happening!

Off to clean up the budget and get ready for payday.

They have closed all the roads in my area. Glad I brought my lunch to work

Yesterday and today we have been under an extreme cold advisory. I drove ds to school this morning. Then I took the other kids with me to the indoor track and then over to the library. They are both part of one large indoor complex. The walking track was busy. I’m the only person at the library with children right now.

School buses and schools are closed here. I emailed I would work from home as I did not want to venture out. They have pulled our trucks off the road and all of Order Desk cannot get in.

They have not closed our roads but just a couple towns over they have pulled the plows off the road and are not allowing tow trucks to pull people out of ditches as it has been deemed too dangerous.

Oh boy, it’s sounds like the weather is being rough with you guys. We are under an extreme cold advisory, but it’s supposed to warm up to -23 before the wind chill by the time school lets out for the day. The buses for our public school division were mostly cancelled for today. The Catholic school busses were still running. All schools are open.

I had a local grocery store teller sign up with CO51 and Caddle as my referral. I saw her this week and she went out of her way to talk with me about it. She’s now used the Caddle app some and I earned my $1 referral bonus. Now she just needs to upload a receipt to CO51 and we will both receive a bonus. Helping others and earning a few dollars at the same time.

Babysat cara today she has a cough that woke her so I gave her a small bottle and back down she went for an hour.I on the other hand had a tiny sore small throat this morning ,and the rest of day was sneezing so I have a cold -uggg honestly so sick of being sick has homemade rice /chicken soup my dear sister-in-law gave me some when we visited sat came in handy

So,one of the things happening in my house right now is cleaning... lots of decluttering. lots.
Oldest .. took everything out of her room... everything.. sorted and is listing some stuff online.
but some stuff... she is sending to the mens mission - blankets ect. she also found alot of pencil crayons, markers ect. - lots.. i reached out to a friend.. who will bring them to her school for the before and after program.
i am always amazed how underfunded some of them are. Her school.. is highly underfunded in this area. so any and all extra craft supplies are always accepted and needed.
Earlier this month she sent over a bunch of prom attire to a group of people who do a princess project.

[coupon girl]

gesileta-I did that with my daughter's prom dresses also ,they were sent to a school for girls to pick out their own dress from the racks

My son-in-law just called me my dear daughter has bronchitis and cant talk ,at least she went to the doctor's today she is on a puffer and meds (and she hardly ever goes to the doctor)

I am signing off and going to read a bit and early bed as I am so stuffed and still sneezing my germs everywhere not going near my hubby
