Another snow day

Well, the kids had another snow day this week. It started Tuesday morning and kept up snowing till Wednesday morning. We received around 10 inches and some blowing. Truly, it wasn't horrible Wednesday morning but it was the infamous "Count Day" in the state of Michigan. This is the day that official counts have to be done at all schools and it determines how much money the school will get from the state. I think most of the schools were concerned that parents would just decide to keep the kids home even though it wasn't too bad and their counts would be low. So they closed on Wednesday and that made today "Count day". By mid-morning Wednesday, the sun was out and it looked very pretty (of course, it would have been prettier if it were still Dec.).
Things were so much better that they even decided to have our normal Wednesday services. The policy is usually if schools are closed, so is church but that changed. This wasn't a good thing for me because I was making cakes for our Pastor's birthday for Wed. evening and they weren't done. There was a problem at work Tues. evening so they didn't get done there. I had to cut my sleep short and was a bit late but they did get done & he really liked them. I ended up making 2 cakes both being 1/2 sheet size and double layer. It seemed like a ton of cake but we only had 1/3 of one left so I was happy.
If you happened to try calling the house phone for the past 2 days, you couldn't get through. We were in the process of dropping our landline but we don't quite know why it took 2 days to get the port of our house phone number to the new cell phone. Here's the $ saving plan the we are trying: We have cancelled our landline but purchased a new cell phone and added it to our plan. That cell phone is to stay at the house and become the house phone. Good news is that it even has the old house phone #. So we are saving by not paying for the landline ($40-$50) & when we went to add the new cell phone, we were told that the same plan had dropped $20/month so we are still saving $10 on the cell bill even with another line. The only thing going up $10 is our DSL line for our internet service. All total, we should be coming out ahead each month. We can also now receive text messages at the house #. So if you like texting that is fine too. Every little savings helps, right?
Not much else to tell you about right now. Work is work & we are still busier than we know how to handle. Mark's dad is staying with Mark's aunt for a while so that has settled down a bit. There may still be more to deal with there but for now our focus is on pressing concerns and responsibilities right here.
