Looking forward to getting back to normal...

Well Sunday has finally come and we were up before the chickens this morning to get Mimi and Poppy off, but we awoke to nothing but ice everywhere. They had planned on leaving between 4:30am and 5:00am, so we got up at 3:45am and waited. Mark and Poppy went for a short ride or should I say a short "spin" and decided that it was best to wait for a while before making a decision on whether or not it was safe enough for them to go. Daylight came and Mark checked the roads again and they appeared to be better than they were. They made the decision to chance it and left at about 8:30am. We were sad to see them go, but we knew that it had to happen sooner or later. As soon as they got out of Michigan, the roads were good. Just wet from the rain, but that could be easily handled. We spent the rest of the morning washing linens and straightening up and now Leslea has a friend over. Why not enjoy the last day of Christmas vacation by doing absolutely nothing? The girls are ready to go back to school and I am ready for them to go. I think that my girls do a much better job when they are on some kind of schedule. It will be nice to get things back to normal. I guess with all of the bad weather that we had, this vacation time seemed longer than usual. I think that after tomorrow, we will appreciate being on a schedule more than any of us want to admit! Oh well guess we will see what tomorrow brings! Until next time...
