Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a great weekend! I can't wait to hear from you at the end of today's post. I'm linking up with Holly and Sarah for today's blog post. I'll jump right in!
First off, I wrote a bonus blog post on Saturday. Here's a link if you'd like to check it out! And because I'm iced/snowed in, I wrote another post for Sunday. Here's that link for your reading pleasure. Truthfully, I don't have a lot to add, but here's how the weekend started before the weather hit.
The kiddos were crazy on Friday, y'all. I don't blame them, honestly, but I was so ready for that day to be over.
It was "snowman" day at school, so this was as close as I could get to that. I wanted to be cozy, so I word this sweatshirt because it's one of the warmest/thickest that I own.
It was FREEZING outside that morning! I literally almost froze half to death while getting students out of the car. I had on my long, thick puffer coat that is giant, this warm scarf you see pictured above (a gift from my sister Trish), thick gloves, and I had the hood pulled up on my coat. Even with gloves and with my hands in my pockets, it took twenty minutes for my fingers to stop tingling once I got back inside. I wore this scarf all morning, because I was still so cold.
With the day being so crazy, my friends and I (we call ourselves the Lunch Bunch) ordered lunch from McAlister's. I ordered a baked potato with bacon.
It hit the spot! I ate this entire thing. We all survived the day and were thrilled when 3:50 got there; that's when we start dismissal.
I had told Chris he could come stay with me for the weekend, because I knew that I was far less likely to lose power here than he is where he lives. I told him to bring his dogs, and that I'd figured out a plan for them to all sleep separately. Knowing that he would be driving here after he got home from work, he took his time getting to me. Kendra was eating out with her friend Jess, so she invited me to tag along. We went to a place here in town called Tony's Trophy Room.
Chris got to my house around ten, but he only stayed an hour before he realized his dogs weren't going to work being with Jonah's dogs (his older two dogs, not the puppy). I legit cried when he left, because I hated the thought of him going home and losing power, but I get why he left and even appreciate that he didn't want to risk Jonah's dogs safety. You can read what I did on Saturday in yesterday's blog post that I linked above. Chris ended up going to stay with his friend since he lost power and didn't want to freeze half to death with his dogs. I'm glad they're all warm and safe at his friend's house.
We have at least eighteen inches of nothing but ice; this last picture above is the barn that was on Chris' property that was about to collapse. It collapsed under the weight of all the ice. Yikes! I'm so glad he went to stay with his friend.
What did you do that you loved this weekend? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!
Jenn
