Happy Veteran's Day to my dad, and every other man/woman that has or is serving. I'm so out of touch with things. I didn't even know about Veteran's Day this year until my mom told me she had today off because she works at a military high school.

Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...
