Cause I sure missed you guys. Over here in Missouri I've been without power since Friday @ 9 pm thanks to a major ice storm. We had to go to a motel to stay. Our power just came back on today, man it is good to be home. We came home yesterday to check on everything and it was 40 in the house. The outside temp got down to 6 last night.


In our area there was about 75,000 without power. They are saying that this was the worst ice storm since 1987 in this area. There are still people without power and will not get it until next week.


Anyway I'm going to be in & out as I have to get the house back in order and laundry done, I spent half the day scrubbing the fridge and throwing away spoiled food.

The bad thing is that we got nailed in Dec too and I just heard it may hit us again this weekend. I hope not cause we are broke after this it really wiped us out.

Me too. It felt so good to be home and sleep in our own beds.

I can't imagine doing that with a baby. We have some friends who were with us through most of this and they have a 5 month old. So we tried to help as much as we could.

Thanks Lolly. Congrats on the CL post. Have you moved yet? If so how did it go? Well I hope.

That's awful, I'm so sorry! I remember those days when I lived back east. If the wind even blew we got ready for power loss...LOL! There were several winters we threw away food as well. We've had a very cold patch here in AZ too. Everyone keeps saying how it's unusual weather. It's been really cold for this area. When you get up to 120 in the summer, even the 60's are cold and we've been getting down to the teens this past week. This weekend we're supposed to get back to our normal weather which will be mid 60's...I can't wait! Glad you're finally back!

I wish I was out of town. LOL! I turned off our water and we got really lucky that ours didn't freeze.

I heard you guys were having a cold spell. Hopefully it won't be too bad for you guys over there. This weather is so weird, I'm ready for it to get back to normal. I'm glad to be back too.

Wow! You poor thing - It sucks not having power.
I'm so glad your back Michelle. You've been missed.
