Snow Snow Snow

Wow.. the weather man was actually right this time. We actually did get snow this time and a whole lot of it! I would say that we got about 7 inches or so. It was amazing waking up. Not so amazing shoveling out though. I hate shoveling.
Our 1/2 mile long driveway wasn't plowed yet but I took a chance and tried to get down the driveway. We didn't hit any problems until the steep part when we started to slide. It was like being on a ride LOL.. the kids were screaming and I think that even I was a little freaked out and I never get that way driving in the snow. But the good news is that we made it, in one piece. I am sure that getting home will be interesting.

In other news there was a shooting near my house. Now we moved away from the city because we felt that we wanted to get away from people and shootings etc. Perry County is a fairly calm place as far as violence goes, and I feel very safe in my house. But the other night that was pretty much shattered. Click here to read the whole story. Basically an armed gunman broke into a house about two houses away from me, kicked in the door.. demanded money and then shot the two people inside. They still have no captured who did it. I have been extra cautious lately.. locking my car, locking my doors etc. I have never had to be scared before and I dont like having to be now, but whats a girl to do.. so I just act like nothing is wrong and have told the kids, who were petrified, that they have already caught the guy. So hopefully they will.

Only about three weeks till christmas, and I am not even close to ready. No tree, no decorations and very little shopping started. I am such a scrooge this year! Bah Humbug.
