Gazelle Chicks

My daughter and I were awakened in the middle of the night by a loud crash. At the time, I had no idea what it was or could be. I waited for a bit to see if it would continue. It didn’t, so I went back to sleep.

This morning, as I got up to hit the shower, my husband says, “did you see the neighbor’s trees? She lost a couple of them. Look.” He pointed out our window, and I could see that 2 of our neighbors trees finally gave in to the weight of the ice. It shook me up a bit because it could happen to us, and our trees are much larger. If anyone of them fell, they’d land on our house. Hopefully, the trees will still be up when we get home tonight.

We’re supposed to be in the mid 30s today, so a lot of the ice should finally melt away. We’re expecting more wintery crap today and tomorrow. Oh how I miss southern California.

This semester has been extremely draining on my husband and I. Thankfully, we only have a week left of classes and it can’t come any sooner.

What we’re really excited about is taking our Christmas break in a couple of weeks. We’ll be basking in the sun in southern California with family whilst eating a lot. Lots of tamales, posole, carne asada, carne adobada, and more.

Note: I’m not making any apologies about the title of this post. In my home, we celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

No work for me today. At least not in the sense of my job work. I’ve got plenty to do here at home like washing dishes, finish the laundry, and pick up toys. Funny how the housework never ceases. There’s always something to do. So, with my sick little girl watching cartoons to forget her puniness, I’m off to the call of chores. Until tomorrow.

One of the things quite common in the blogging community is the interaction and support for bloggers in general. One of the ways bloggers interact is with games, and one of my favorite is tag. Thanks to Casey for the idea, I’m gonna start by tagging one of my favorite gals. Read the rest of this entry »
