So last night on the way home from post as I was going up the onramp to the freeway I slid off and almost into a fence. Yep you guessed it I got stuck! Limited slip rear axle or not it was in the mud. Thankfully the Lord sent some strangers to help (also kept traffic to a real minimum on the on ramp) who towed me out shortly and I was on my way again! (of course Tim had OUR tow strap in the truck). Hubby was willing to come from Abilene but it seemed stupid to ask him to drive 25 miles on icy, snow covered roads to come get me and then go back again! Our Company Commander was also willing to help but these men showed up first. Things could have been a lot worse and I'm grateful. It took me over an hour to get home but I made it.
Big thanks to the young man and his wife from Cracker Barrel and the 4 young men in the suv! This soldier's wife is grateful....
Ice Storm.... update
So here we are. It's not as cold as it was - 40 degrees is a heat wave today! he he. Everything is melting and dripping. Over the last couple days we had no power from early Wed morning until yesterday afternoon, then today it was off again for about 4 hours. Just now back up on the email. Ice everywhere - power lines and tree branches down, etc. Some places may not have power for up to 10 days!
Here's a few links (will try to post some pics from here later):http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,316658,00.html

It's beautiful but deadly - praise God for a home,camping equipment, friends with power, etc.

Brrrr - Baby it's Cold outside...
It's 13 degrees and icy! Ok so I realize that's not to bad if you live in Alaska but KS with wind chill it's quite chilly!
Supposed to be this way the next few days. We were to go to church this morning and a home tour on post today (which I love doing) but I don't think we're going anywhere. Roads are icy and not cleared - don't feel like sliding around. DD #2 has a 4-H meeting this afternoon so we'll see how things are for that - we all have one tomorrow night again we'll see what things are like. Hopefully it warms up a bit for ds's paper route tomorrow - hubby to go to work. For now we will probably just have our normal tea time breakfast and watch movies and play games.

& miles to go before I sleep....
Ok so not literally but it sure seems like it of late. The craft fair was exhausting and not very profitable, I need to finish putting up Christmas Decorations, finish dying my slipcovers, clean house, school the children, make a grocery list, go grocery shopping, AWANA tomorrow night, etc~!!!!
Tired.
Tired.
