What Do You Do On A Snow Day?

Well, I start by making Jessie breakfast. Then I make mine. Next I put away clean dishes from the sink and dishwasher and clean up the kitchen from breakfast. Now a load of clothes go in the washer, dryer then fold. Repeat 4 times. Now it's time for lunch. Make lunch, serve lunch, clean up lunch. While we ate lunch the 3 of us watched several vet shows. Jessie occupied herself on her iPad, I took a short nap and Jon rested from being outside and cleaning off the cars and taking the snow off the front bushes so they didn't get bent from the foot of snow we received in 2 days. Time for dinner. Make dinner, serve dinner and clean up the kitchen from dinner. Jon and I watched an Alaska program he tapes weekly then it's time to get Jessie a snack before bedtime. She's watching the Food Network channel and "working" in her magazines. I'm here working on my blog. Jon's going to bed. That's it. 

A New Week

Because of the snow we received last night, Jennifer decided not to come today. She lives at least 45 minutes away. That left just Jessie, Jon and me, much to Jessie's delight. I had to go to Walgreen's to pick up a prescription then I met Marilyn at a new restaurant, Bread and Roses, for brunch. I treated her for her birthday. It is a very nice restaurant and I'm looking forward to going back. 

After dinner the 3 of us watched To Catch A Smuggler and Heartland Docs, episodes that Jon had previously taped. Jessie is SO funny to watch as she watches these shows. Last week there was a woman named Sarah that smuggled drugs in to the country. While they were questioning her Jessie said, "Bad Sarah!" Tonight on Heartland Docs we watched a goat get his (huge) balls removed. Jessie exclaimed, "OUCH!", then put her hand over her mouth with eyes wide. Way too funny. You might think this is too much, too gross for her, but she's been watching surgeries on her iPad for years! It doesn't seem to phase her much. It's nice that we can sit down as a family and watch good shows that we all like. 

Well, I'm signing off. Time to go upstairs because Jessie is already in bed. We are expecting almost 10" of snow tonight through noon tomorrow. We'll see what we actually get when we wake up. The Rec center is already closed tomorrow and I'm sure the schools are, too. 

A Super Quiet Sunday

What can I say about a day that I did absolutely nothing productive, other than take care of Jessie's needs and wants. Well, I did spend about 15 minutes gathering paperwork for Income Tax preparation. That's it. Jon worked. Jessie was on her iPad all day. It was a very sunshiny, beautiful day outside and looked warmer than it was. Tonight, tomorrow and Tuesday we're in for some significant snow.

Friday and Saturday

Yesterday, Friday, was such a full day for all of us! 

Jon had the day off and had his hair cut then went to a couple stores. He went to Sean and Ashley's house for dinner and had a nice time. 

Jessie and Jennifer went to Leo's for their breakfast\-out-day breakfast. They also shopped at The Christmas Tree Store and Jessie bought some Pizza flavored "cheeze-a-balls". Those are her favorites. However, she's not had the pizza flavored ones but she does love pizza.

I picked up Karen in Memphis and Linda in Marysville and we went to the Marine City Fish Co. for lunch. It was a really nice place with great food. I can't wait to go back again!

Just down the street was a "mall" with several little stores in it that we looked around inside. It reminded me of one on Mackinac Island. Then we drove down to Algonac to see the ice jam. It sure was jammed with ice, that's for sure. I've never been there in winter (that I can remember) to see all the ice. We drove back to Marysville to take Linda home after we shopped at a place some-what like Salvation Army. I took Karen home then didn't get to our house until 5:30.  It was a really nice day!

Jon worked 10 hours today (Saturday). I did laundry, vacuumed, straightened up Jessie's toys and crafts then worked on my check book - again. Chris call earlier and asked if we had a Vacancy tonight! We laughed. Whenever she's down in this area and doesn't want to drive home, she spends the night here. It's always a nice time.

I made heart shaped English Muffin BBQ Chicken Pizzas for dinner plus a cherry chocolate chip frozen pie for dessert. Chris was here for dinner and she brought brownies and pumpkin muffins. I'm NEVER going to lose 50 pounds by June. Only 15 pounds to go, but this is taking me longer and is harder than the 35 pounds I've already lost. 

 

Just The 3 Of Us

These blogs are a bit boring. No pictures. Nothing exciting. Oh, well.

Jess had "speech" this morning and when we were finished we picked Jon up at home and went to Chili's for lunch. Both Jess and I brought part of ours home to finish at dinner. Jon felt better today so he took advantage of that and went to a couple of stores. I'm so glad he feels better. 

I did a couple loads of wash and a bit of stuff here and there. I'm reading a 3rd book in a trilogy series and I really don't want to do anything else. It's very suspenseful. A good read. 

Another Bowling Day

While Jon was at work and I went to Bible Study, Jennifer and Jess met Brent, his mom and aide Tom at the bowling alley for 3 games. Brent and Jessie had a great time once again. Then they went out to lunch before coming home. After Bible Study I went to lunch with Ruth and then went to the post office. Jon looked a tiny bit better than yesterday when he got home from work. At least he has 2 days off to rest.  

Swimming Day

Jess had another good day today. Jane took her swimming, Pita Pit for lunch, Debby's Dollar then home to play Apples 2 Apples plus other games. A great day indeed.

The Merry Maids came and cleaned the house this morning. I did several loads of wash then went to Kroger's for some groceries. That about did me in. My left foot hurt and I was exhausted from walking the entire store. I haven't done that in several weeks. I feel like such a wimp. 

Jon worked but looked awful when he got home. He's working when he should be home resting. His work ethic is much greater than most people's. Steroids and muscle relaxers haven't done the trick yet.
