Snow Day #5

It is a windy day out there! School was cancelled yet again today, which was probably a good thing because our electricity went out at about 1 and didn't come back on until 7:45. Thank goodness for the power company guys that worked all night! We still have one problem, our pipes froze so we have no water! Pat had to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house to take a shower so he could go to work. On his way to work he called me and wanted me to make sure the pilot light was still on in the hot water heater but I couldn't even find where the light was supposed to be! Some help I was. So I cranked the heat and I am hoping they thaw out soon!

I thankfully was able to sleep in a little bit today. I think part of it had to do with not going to bed as early as usual. Pat and I usually go to bed around 10 so after I read for a little bit I am asleep by 10:30. Last night just as I started reading Pat gets a fire call and out the door he flew! I decided that I would put in my Netflix movie (I will write a separate post about it) because it was not one he was interested in watching. Since I hadn't done a whole lot through the day I wasn't that tired either so I got about halfway through the movie before I fell asleep and shortly after Pat came home. It was just about that time that the electricity went out.

I have decided that I could not be a housewife! I was so bored yesterday and while I had plenty of things to do I could not get motivated to do much. I did get some lessons planned but I ran into problems because I left some books at school and couldn't get too far. I did wash the bathtub (how does it get so dirty when you use it to get clean?), cleaned the stove and organized the pile of papers on the desk. I wasn't able to clean the oven because we didn't have any oven cleaner. I started to clean the office but most of it is Pat's tools that he got for Christmas that he hasn't carried down to the basement yet, so I quit. I am thinking today that I may get out the scrapbook supplies and start on some wedding pages. I don't like to scrapbook here though because I always think of everything that my mom has at her house that I could be using! Maybe that is my problem, I always think of a reason NOT to do something! Maybe I will see how the roads are and head to school to at least get the books I need to do some more work!
