Winter Ramblings

The temperature made it to the 40's for just a couple of days, then we woke up this morning to snow again. The kids have just one more snow day to miss before they have to start making them up. Tomorrow, school is supposed to be running two hours late, but we will see how that plays out since the temperature is only going to be in the 20's tonight. It seems that this cold and dreary winter weather might just be our new climate here in Tennessee.  
We have had more snow these last two winters than we have had in the past decade. This Christmas was our first "white Christmas" in seventeen years.  It has brought activity at the Hayes house to a screeching halt. We have watched more TV this month than we have in last decade. I cant wait till the mercury rises and coats are tucked away in the closet for a long summer nap.
Today, I managed to accomplish one thing. I called Olive Garden to let them know that we have a party of fifteen to twenty people showing up to eat Saturday night at 6pm.  I also wanted to ensure that it is ok for me to drop Devin's birthday cake off earlier that day.

 Tonight, we watched another episode of American Idol. 

Jennifer Lopez has really moved up on my "people I like" list since she has become an American Idol judge. She just seems so genuine and fun.

Be sure to watch

Thursday night, because it is the Nashville auditions.

Who knows what kind of entertainment we are in for.
