Weather stuff

I couldn't like today's weather any less than I already do. Sleet, freezing rain---though those two things seem the same to me. Snow supposedly later on. The clicker, though, is that our oldest son is at work, as is my husband and daughter. Makes me squirm. I HATE icy weather. Hate it. Would love it if everyone was safe under our roof for the day.

We live in a neighborhood full of old trees, mostly oaks and this ice just weighs down the branches. When we just had five kids, and shortly after the death of my father (the stresses were likely related), we had an ice storm overnight and the next morning, the noise of those branches breaking and falling to the ground was mind-numbing. And while my husband says I tend to exaggeration at times (though I doubt him on that little bit of personal information---you should hear him go off about things!), having the power out for almost 2 weeks and dealing with a newborn really was a fretful situation.

So, I figure I'll get the house really clean as my adrenaline pumps non-stop. I'll watch the mailbox and truck glaze over and think of my loved ones who have to drive home in it. Prayers for their safety much appreciated. Not sure when husband/daughter will get off work, but thankfully they rode together. Son gets off at 4pm. Thanks! :)
