Our first snow!!

Yep... that fun, white stuff is falling from the sky!!!  I am fairly excited about it... I want TONS of snow this year.  Not sure exactly why... but I do.  Just something about it feels "homey" and "peaceful".  I need as much PEACEFUL as I can get my hands on!!!
The only thing missing is my Amaruq watching it fall... and then finding all the spunk he has left in his body and going out to run in it!!  :-(  I miss him bunches.

No school delay for Courtney... I am FOREVER thankful for that one.  She was working on my last nerve, since she had off for well over a week!!!
And YES... since Courtney REFUSED to find out when her first day back at school was... way early last week when I asked her to.  I let her butt get up, get dressed and go out to wait for the bus YESTERDAY!!!  Knowing full well she didnt have school!!!!  Seems mean... I know.  BUT... it was a lesson in being responsible for her OWN life and schedule!  It did end up turning into an argument... and she wanted ME to be blamed for HER lack of being responsible!  NOT!!!
We are still having the "GET A JOB" battle too!!!  Yea, that was another messy argument last night.

Stacy got himself yet ANOTHER speeding ticket on Sunday.  2nd one in a month!!!  AND, he tried to hide it from me!!!!  WTF!?!?   I am pretty pissed off about it.  I am tired of wasting money to pay them.  It isnt a hard concept... DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT!!!  I told him... one more... and he is gonna need to find a new damn home!  I REFUSE to add "Stacy's speeding tickets" to our monthly budget... it is just bullshit now!  To think... he had the balls to bitch at Josh about speeding!!!  Hmmmm... maybe Josh learned it by watching Stacy!  I mean really... do as I say, not as I do... just doesnt cut it in the world of parenting.  GRRRR!

My knee is giving me one hell of a time.  In addition to the steroid injection I got just over a week ago... I am now on oral steroids.  I am not real happy about it.  They tend to make me crabby... and I really dont need any other reason to be crabby.  I mean really... look at my life!

My class is going GREAT!  I LOVE IT!!!  I am chomping at the bit to enroll in the other school option.  But, I am really trying to hold off.  (Gotta keep up with Stacy's fines first... the asshole). 
Anyway...  still making excellent grades and getting great remarks.  I am pleased. 

Brittany and Stacy went out hunting yesterday with Jason!  Brittany had a great time... even though she didnt get anything.  She did see a doe... and wanted it be a buck ever so badly... but it wasnt.  At least she saw something!!
She is pretty die hard!!  They left before 5 am... and didnt get home to close to 5pm.  When I talked to her at lunch, she had no intentions of giving up any time soon. 
I think she was more into it than Stacy!!  He got cold... then took a nap... then dropped his gun... and broke his backpack!    Yes, my husband curled up, on the ground, and used a log as a pillow!!!  WTH?!?!
Anyway... Brittany is ready and counting down the days to going out on Saturday!!   All ready for having 3 generations out together... Pappy will be joining them!

So I FINALLY started to use my CriCut!!!  I LOVE IT!!!  Worth every penny... even more so since I got it for $120 OFF!!!!  It is all I ever hoped and dreamed!!  I am starting on some Christmas crafts!!  :-)

I have a few more things to get put away from Thanksgiving... and Fall.  Then I guess we will decide just how much we will be decorating... since we wont be home the entire week of Christmas.
AND we need to figure what kind of arrangements we will make for the dogs that week.  I am thinking we will suck it up and board Nanuq and Sakari.  Not sure yet.
The closer we get to Christmas week... the more my grandfather is getting on my damn nerves about it!!  UGH!

That is all I have for now.  I gotta get on the kid's school work... they are already pulling out snow pants and coats!!!  They are on a mission to get out and play!  :-)
