My Personal Hell aka Snowed In

So Mother Nature is being a vindictive Be-yotch to Nebraska for some reason.  I think may have something to do with the western part of the state crying drought for the last several years (just ask the good people of Atlanta who were complaining just this summer about running out of water, now they have more then enough water!) or the fact Lincoln gave a vote to Obama, either way she decided to put the smack-down on our arses.

Starting on October 10th with this crap:

After that it warmed up the month of November, we were wearing shorts people, shorts!  So the precursor was on Sunday night about 2 inches and very cold weather rolled in like the in-laws you try so hard to avoid but come anyways.

                            My furball was not amused...at first.   Little Dude however was amused, a lot!

                            Doesn't look so bad does it?               Little Dude took to tossing snowballs at the doors.

Only to kind of warm up Monday during the day, but not before they postponed school opening till 10am.  WTH, it wasn't that bad out! The gates of frozen hell opened up wide later that night.  Flurries, kind of pretty were flying then BOOM, the wind came.  By Tuesday Morning school was already called off, as expected due to the blowing snow, not quite in the dumping of snow.  That was to some starting about 10am and rocking it till Wednesday.  I had to shovel so Sully could go outside.  30minutes later the whole thing was blown over.  6 ties I had to shovel for the dog.  AND his stupid arse jumped into the snow piles that were over Little Dudes head.  he floundered around like a fish on a hook till I thought he learned his lesson, and went out 3 times to get him.  It took 3 times.  They learn so fast in this house don't the, damn!  So school was off till Thursday morning.  I was locked in the house with little dude both days and Wednesday with the weatherman too.  It was hell.  Weatherman admitted he was in a pissy mood and used that as an excuse to make out lives a living hell the whole day.   

So those were from my phone, now on to the real camera photos.

So this was Tuesday morning, doesn't look so tough does it?

 

Here is about couple hours later at 2 o'clock-ish I know they are in this blog too, but really 4-6 foot drifts in a couple of hours are a BIG deal!

 

 

I let the boys play outside for a little bit.  I had to shovel as you can see as the weatherman was at work.  They got 10 minutes before the wind decided for them it was time to go inside.  Within the hour it was like I never shoveled.  Blah!

Thank you Auntie Cheryl!

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. About lifting the toilet seat by using the sink. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives; then you'll be afraid to cough. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD -40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem

1st Non American born President?

I never get sick of reading this stuff...it is like a never ending saga.. Do I know what to believe? No. Either way it is entertaining as hell to those of us conspiracy mongers. The next 4 years will be a blast to see the country go 'round the toilet bowl. Lets all go green then tax our asses off for conserving fuel, lets use compact florescent light bulbs to "save energy" but if the break they are bio hazards. Wind energy only gives back about 18% of the cost to have them put up and operated. Don't even get me started on using corn for ethanol when saw grass and algae give off way more then it takes to put into it. We need to be stewards to the Earth sure, but we are screwing ourselves coming and going. Heck, we can't even get the cabinet positions filled due to "pay-to-play." That's alright the Hubby didn't want Richardson as his boss anyhow. Bet Clinton is looking pretty damn good right now to some of you. What a fine mess. Good luck to you Obama, where ever the hell you were born.
