Blizzard March 08

Well we experienced our first big snow storm here in ohio today and yesterday. Now I will preference this with we had several storms of similar magnitude in Boston. However people in Ohio are not prepared to deal with storms of this size. We have about 12-15 inches of snow. Esimation is difficult due to the blowing snow which caused drifting. The conditions were pretty nasty this morning and most of the day. The only ones at our house enjoying the snow are the dogs. I thought I would post a few pictures. Oh and I want to give a shout out to Amy and Jessie who made it to Columbus during a lull in the storm on Saturday early morning (2am) but have been stuck there because the roads are too bad for us to drive the 80 or so miles to pick them up. Luckily they were able to find a hotel! I really hope I can see you ladies tomorrow!!!

Nightmares about work

You know that you've been working too much when you have nightmares about work. I had a demo today for work and last night I had nightmares about coding and the demo. It was down right creepy!!! One should never dream about java code...it is just wrong!

However my demo went pretty well. I get to do it again next wednesday with hopefully some additional functionality. In the mean time I need to learn about SQL and oracle. Fun stuff, let me tell you. Oh and Sean said today that I may have to help him with the coding of his thesis. When I asked him jokingly if he would pay me, he actually said yes. Then I said "and hire a maid" and he said "perhaps that could be my payment!"

So it looks like I may be interviewing for the position of maid/housekeeper. Any takers?

Single mom with a kid in college....

That is how I'm feeling lately. Sean is super busy with school and I'm super busy with work. Yet I still have to cook dinner and clean the house and all the other things that keep this house running. And of course on top of that take care of Sean. Read doing his laundry, making him coffee, poking him when he falls asleep doing homework. This whole Sean being in school thing and me working full time thing is more taxing and time consuming than I thought it would be.

What little time I have gotten to myself lately has consisted of reading work books and attempting to get my craft room cleaned up. I can't wait until our trip to las vegas in a couple of weeks. I plan on relaxing and taking in the sights. More on that later.

I'm excited for Amy and Jessie's visit this weekend. I still have somethings to do before they get here but I'm getting there.

Oh and I have 3 animals that I'm considering giving away due to waking us up multiple time during the night! Any takers??? They're cute just a bit boogery.........
