No School for HOW LONG?

Someone said that someone said that someone said the our Superintendent said we would probably be out of school for 3 to 5 weeks. What was I going to do with no water and no power for 3 weeks! I really enjoyed the first few days of power silence. Although I must say that I did not like not knowing what was going on. After the 2nd night, ATT crashed. No cell phones either! I did all I could do in my yard. Elisha's husband stopped by to check on us and the kids. Where's the kids? They split! They were off to find bigger and faster hills for their sleds! Glen volunteered to get his chainsaw out and saw some tree limbs out of the road. I did not say no. We got our warm gear out and Glen sawed and we stacked. After about 2 hours and only 2 trees stacked; Glen had already finished all the cutting up, we had to go in and warm up. Have ever played Pick up Sticks as a child? You know the game with bright colored sticks that you spill out of the can and then try to "pick up" one at a time? That is what it was like picking these tree limbs up off the ground. I would tug at one that LOOKED like it was on top only to be met with resistance because actually it's top was under other limbs. And unlike pick up Sticks, all these "sticks" looked exactly alike!
I finished stacking all the tree parts on Sunday morning. And on Monday morning, I did the only thing I knew to do: got on a plane to see Jorden, Jennifer, and Joey!! I have been here for 2 days and I am loving it. As of Tuesday Night, 90% of Livingston County Residents were still in the dark. But not me!
