puppetmaker: (Secret of Sherlock Holmes)
We are dug out thanks to our neighbors on both sides who helped us with their snow blowers so we can get out of the driveway and are compliant with the village regulations of sidewalks. Also the mail will be delivered because the mail carrier can safely get to the mailbox.

Not so happy with the village/county snow removal team or their agents. Actually, I am betting it was a contractor rather than the village guys who has piled snow at the end of our driveway and scraped the street. The village plows know how to deal with this street. So I do have to dig out the end of the driveway but I am OK with that considering what I would have to have dealt with if our neighbors hadn’t come to our rescue.

Caroline does not have school today due to the fact that the buses cannot reach all the students on their routes yet. I have heard from some friends that not all the roads were reached yesterday so they need today to finish getting the streets dug out. I am glad that we are giving everyone another day to deal with the fall out from the storm.

Now if the house down the block will shovel out so Caroline doesn’t have to walk in the street to get to school, I will be happy. If they try the same stunt they did last year, I know that myself and several other parents will be calling the village a lot sooner to get this dealt with. The homeowner was put on notice last year so the village will act faster.

I have gotten Peter to watch a football game, which is a big deal. He became interested in the Broncos vs. Patriots game because of Around the Horn and some articles in the local papers. So we watched the game. Glad to see the Broncos win. And glad to the see the Panthers win. So Broncos vs. the Panthers which will probably be Peyton’s last game if rumors are to be believed. I am glad that Cam Newton finally got his act together.

So today is going to be more stuff around the house. Going out doesn’t seem like a spiffy idea today. We have enough milk for another day or so.

Oh and I have jury duty this week. I am hoping because I have a highly absurd number that I will not be called but nothing is certain in this so every day for the next week I check and see if my number is up.

So that’s my day. Hope yours is comfortable.

I am grateful for our neighbors who helped us dig out from the three to five foot drifts that were impeding movement anywhere.
