New Year... New Friends...

We spent New Year's Eve helping some friends move into their new home and enjoying a fun filled hilarious evening. Then we came home to find we had some sickies for children waiting. It went from there to more sickies on New Year's Day and today Josh and I aren't feeling so hot nor is Kyla-Dawn. I dunno....hope this clears out FAST! It's like a 24 hour thing I think.

Today the dumb snow plows came and plowed me in so badly (well not my van cuz I'd moved it, but my walk way) that Michael had to come shovel me out. It was about three feet high or more. Should take pics. After we'd kicked and shovelled through mostly enough so we could get me into the yard, and I'd fallen getting one bare hand in the freezing cold snow.... THEN they came and cleared it out once we'd gone inside. They are the worst in snow removal around this place than anywhere else I've ever lived and we don't have a driveway cuz the former owners filled it in with grass so it's absolutely miserable for us all winter. I honestly wake up in terror in the middle of the night thinking they're coming to plow me in because they will right up the exhaust pipes and they are protected by the by-law too! sigh.... Anyway, at least it's cleared out for Derk when he gets home later. Everyone else isn't as bad because of their driveway which the plows respect and clear but we of course don't have that option!

I'm not liking 2008 so much so far...sickness, cold and snow and hefty bills for driver's licenses because of Derk's accident.... so I sure hope things change asap!
