So...it is still snowing here in War. And I am writing at 11AM on a Tuesday....my second snow day this week. I am overwhelmed and thrilled that I am getting paid to stay at home, sleep in, clean my house, bake, and just love life! As of today, we have had 11 snow days and three 2hour delays. Amazing.
Since I have all kinds of time today...I figured I would give y'all a little update on life in War the past week.
Last week was almost a full week; however, we got out early on Friday for a snow storm that was coming. It didn't hit till about 8 or 9pm but I'm not complaining! Anyways, it was a super long week with my kids out of control and being back to utter chaos. It was really frustrating, and I am hoping that their behavior is only a result of the non-routine that is going on with all this winter happenings. Pray that I would be able to drill hard when we get back and jump right into academics...and that they would jump on that boat too! That is the hard part!
Well, as I said, we got out of school early Friday. So, from Friday at 2pm till Sunday at 6pm we stayed in our little house, watching snow, sleeping, and watching Gilmore Girls, and talking to the outside world through Facebook Chat. As wonderful as all of the above is....I was going STIR CRAZY!! So, Laura and I finally made a trip to Wal-Mart. Good choice. Basically it has been like a lazy party each day.
Oh....last night....around 11:30pm Laura and I were talking to one of our Bluefield friends, Sara, on Facebook. She decided that she wanted to come visit us in War. We thought she was kidding, but she got in her car with her toothbrush, cell phone, and keys about fifteen minutes later. Around 12:45, she was on our front porch! I felt like a college kid again because I realized that sleep was not going to happen and that I was going to hate myself in the morning. I remember sacrificing sleep a lot for fun...and it felt good to do it again! Laura and I were both praying for a delay to compensate for the late night. So, we were extra excited this morning at 4am when we found out there was a delay and then around 6 when we heard there was no school.
Well, I think it is time to do a little reading and maybe bake a few things. Laura and I are having all of our friends over on Thursday evening for an "Adventure to War" night. We are excited for some more visitors and a great night ahead!
Hope that y'all are doing well. Please keep me updated on what is happening in your lives and how I can pray for you. Much love!
