New Years Resolutions??
I suck at those!! As i,s I suck at keeping my own promise to myself of trying to blog every day! Anyway, So on Thursday the 2nd, Me, and my two daughters started back at school. A Thursday of all days?? Like really??? I can honestly say that we have never gone back to school in the new year the end of a work week. It didn't make sense. Friday..... Well we had no school on Friday. It stormed like a mofo. Since December, we have averaged a storm every 2.5 days. That's insanity for here!! I was excited for the White Christmas, which we did not have in over 8 years. Now it's just getting to be a pain in the ass. There has been just a little over five feet of snow come down within the last month. Anymore and it's going to be over my head. All we hear in the news is that roofs are collapsing under the weight, or another storm system moving into the Maritimes. Luckily my parents have a roof that is so steep, the snow slides off!!
So today being Sunday, it's a balmy -8 degrees Celsius, or for you fine feathered folk across the boarder, it's a balmy 17.6 degrees Fahrenheit. I see what ya'll are doing with the whole Fahrenheit thing. It makes it seem warmer than it really is!! LOL..... Unless ya'll get into the negatives yourself. That's when ya know it's freezing!!! We've had a cold snap for the last week or so dipping into the -39 with the windchill factor. It was freezing yesterday, blowing snow, drifting, and today it's climbed up to -8 and tomorrow it's suppose to reach +7. Pretty sure Mother Nature doesn't know if she's coming or going!
A Freezing rain front is suppose to move in over night tonight. I'm sure that the 5 hours of freezing rain that's predicted will cancel school yet again. Hooray for another day at home..... *Insert sarcasm here*
I should probably tell you all something about myself, seeing as how I suck at introducing!! My names Venessa and I am from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I'm from a village of 100 people, called Mt.Stewart. I am a born bread and corn fed red neck! As my mother says, she was responsible for the first nine months, and after that my dad's responsible!! I am presently in school to become an Automotive Technician. I know how to do a majority of it now, but it's just better to be certified! When trying to decide what I wanted to do for the last 11 years since leaving highschool, my dad has always been the one to tell me what I would and wouldn't like. He, of all people, knows me best. I am 28 years old, have two lovely daughters, Emma-A.K.A. Emmie Bell (8 y/o) and Nikki-A.K.A. Squirrel (6 y/o). I have a fabulous fiance, Adam, who is my everything. We can honestly say we have been through it all, and end up with each other in the end. I also have 3 amazing siblings. Megan, Nathan, and Amanda. We are all fairly close, despite having very separate lives. They all have kids, who I am absolutely crazy about. Riley and Rhaya are Megs babies and I love them to death. Nate has James who is just as stubborn as his father (Got that honestly enough!) and again, love him to pieces!! Amanda is Calgary with her husband and her son, Linkin. I call Linkin my "Wittle chubby Bunny" b/c he's got the chubbiest little body I've ever seen. I enjoy our skype dates, but wish they were all really here. I have to best parents in the world!! I am fortunate enough to have a very young family. My mom is Tammy..She is firstly a mother of 4, and a grandmother, whom the kids call Nana of 6. She's 46 years old and is a professional Chef, Cake Designer, Caterer, and Tailor. She has worked hard all her life,and it is easy to see the determination on her face when given an obstacle. My daddy is Urban and he, my dear friends, is my hero. My dad is 51, and is quite literally a "Jack of all trades!" He is first and foremost a father of 4, a fabulous grandfather of 6, whom the kids call Poppy. Everything I have ever learned is from this man. He is a volunteer fire fighter, and has been for 27 years, he is a plumber, a gas and diesel mechanic, a carpenter, a fisherman, a snow plow driver, and the list goes on. It's from these wonderful roots, that I get my hard drive, work ethic, tolerance, love, compassion, etc. These people mentioned above, all make my world go round!
These are the people I have been blessed with and I certainly would not change it for anything in the world!
Moving right along, it's been a very uneventful weekend, to say the very least!! More than likely because my car bit the bullet NYE. The starter went on it. And of course the parking lot our town house is on, is nothing but a sheet of ice, so jacking the car up to see what the hell is goin' on is a big NO NO. Luckily for me, I drive standard, so it's easy for me to put'er into third gear, dump the clutch, and away I go. However, it's been too cold for that crap, so home is where I stay! Adam and I did a marathon of cleaning yesterday, and of course when I say we I mean me!! LOL... My OCD kicks in and I have to have things done a certain way.
Anyways, I guess I out. It's finally nice enough to take the kids outside!
Chat at ya's soon.......................Same bat-time, same bat-channel!!!
