Alexis in da snow after the storm of the season ;)

How deep the snow was since 1-29 until 2-1. We got 13" of it!



Alexis doing snow angels :)




Swinging in the snow? Crazy girl! LOL




Alexis and her snowgal that she did with her grandma





So you have it...My Alexis having fun in the snow this past weekend.

Wanna see some Eerie snow?

This winter storm happened between 1/29-1/30 but more did come but I will save those pics for another post/blog. :)


This is what we got in 24 hour period!

Day 1: No driveway



No Sidewalks:



Day 2:
Front porch-my neighbors' exercise bike



My front porch


Looking out above my ramp onto our parking area-my neighbors' car buried in snow (not working).

Almost had a death in the family...

And it was me wanting to kill our one cat...Angel Prince...Why?

My Mom and I were in the other room getting ready to go my parents on Friday when all of the sudden we heard a boom and a scream: It was Alexis screaming, so My Mom ran out to the living room first, me to follow; we saw Alexis in my chair fine but she was pointing to the floor and we saw our Beta Fish on the floor with the water poured out! We then comprehended that the Angel Brat must have knocked off the fish aquarium off the entertainment center so my Mom immediately grabbed the aquarium and took it to the kitchen and we both realized we needed stilled water so I told her about our spring water bottles that we had on the floor under the kitchen table. She poured that water in the aquarium as fast as she could and all we could do then was wait and see to make sure the shock would not kill Ella the Beta fish. But she seemed fine thank goodness. Before we left we rearranged how she was on the entertainment center and made sure there was no room for a cat to get up there this time!

But once we had that all settled (even before so) I even put Angel Prince's nose up to it and said no and spanked his butt again. But I tell ya, even Alexis was mad at him that day and I was not joking I was ready to throw him in the snow that day (but of course have him run back in like a wimp ). I think that was the first time he saw me that mad at him. And hopefully the last.

Alexis is doing a Mathathon fundraiser for St Jude's Children hospital

Alexis' school is part of the St Jude's Mathathon and Alexis wanted to be a part of it.

For every math problem the child gets right monies will go towards the St Jude's hospital for Children...Sponsors can pay $.10 per correct answer or a flat amount....Alexis was pretty excited about doing it more for the cause than the prizes she would get based on how much she raises for the hospital.

I did something similar for St Jude's in grade school but it was a trivia marathon. ;)

Here is her website if your interested:

If you want to sponsor her and have more questions just comment here and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have!

NKOTB is coming to Erie!!!

My heart is broken....the tickets just went on sale today at 10AM for the show for March 22 and I just called about them around 2pm. Well just say all the floor seats are already sold out! In fact they were within 10 minutes of the sale! And well, since I need to take my electric wheelchair with me that only leaves the disabled platform section they have on the top area. Which is on the side of the arena by where the normally keep the speakers too. So, yes we will be able to hear them just fine but seeing them may be an issue. :( (I been to other events and concerts before and was not that pleased about the view). Also, it is on a Sunday at 7pm, a school night and a work night, so not sure if it would be fair for my parents to watch Alexis until I get back AND public transits stop working at 6pm on Sundays so I have no idea how I get home unless I take a disabled cab home as well (which we only have one available if working). ACK!

So I do not know what to do?!?!

Alexis- My Smarty Pants comes home with 2 awards & honor roll report card

Alexis came home today and had a big smile on her face....
She said Mommy I got two awards today...
I go you did? What for? What did they say?
She said she did not know but they were just awards....
I asked to see them...

The awards were for having Perfect Attendance (again) for second quarter and
for having a Honors report card (again) for second quarter!

I got excited for her and hugged her for earning such awards and she goes Mom they are just "awards on paper" that is all, I did not get no prize or anything and she sounded disappointed like she deserved more lol (They had an assembly today and they announced everyone's names who had those "awards").

Then she showed me her fantastic report card and from what I saw she did get all As and mostly all 2s (which means she is at the standards they expect for her grade) And a couple #1s (which exceeds what they expect for that grade). So she made me very proud mama today.

Snow Snow Go Away & Come Another SEASON!

I am seriously tired of all this snow we have been having along with the one digit temps we been having along with it! We been having single digits and wind chills below zero. Just say I am ready for SPRING now. And believe me I am counting the days when it gets here.
