Who is snow bunny again? Any other huge changes?

  I have trimmed the fat in every way around my parts. I have cut out cable , internet, home phone, and have stuck close to home . Jim has been working very little and out of work completely for 2 weeks. So instead of falling behind and playing a mean game of stressfull catch up when work picks up I just trimmed the fat.

 Never worry about us , we have been keeping busy. We have spent the last 2 weeks hauling gravel, mulch, sand, brick, brick landscape pavers, and horse poop. by the tons each. I have to say my arms are looking rockin. lol  Too bad the abs can not fall in line. lol.  We made a huge sand box, a brick patio, brick around some of my bushes, a brick walk from the pool deck will be added soon.  And graveled some of my drive.   It has been a bit stressful trying to run the inside and school the kids at the same time shovel and keep up with Jim.  He likes to keep busy when stressed as do I. But the yard and my flowerbeds look great. Jim's garden is in and sprouting.

 But he got word that a big job that should be a long gig starts Thurs so fingers and toes crossed.  Please do not misunderstand our situation. Work is slow and we stress about it. So we trim the fat. But in Jim"s line of work a few good days, weeks sets you back straight again soon. We are very blessed not to have to wait months or years to recover from a dry spell like a lot of Americans are doing right now.   But I feel like being proactive and planning for the worst kinda jinxes the best to happen lol too.

  Next month we order year end tests for the girls and I am actually relaxing and feeling more confident. It seems like things are clicking for Bri. I have eased off and are only giving her 1-3 problems of a certain type of math a day vs doing multyple sheets. That seems to be helping things stick and allow her to bring it back when she needs it.

 Now Back to the question at hand? Who is snow bunny again? Is it Clare or someone new? I have been gone so long I am wicked lost! Did I miss anything else?  Did we dicover some Jerri springer horror drama?  I know about the baby!  Have I even been missed? :)
