Brr!

It is so cold! When I got up to take Landon out this morning my phone said the real temp was 10°! This is the coldest weather little Landon has ever experienced. He's dealing with it like a champ...better than his mom! 

In case you haven't heard there was a MASSIVE pileup on one of our most popular freeways today due to the poor weather conditions. There were 133 vehicles involved. It took hours upon hours for firefighters to free all the people stuck in their cars. Sadly 6 people did not survive. The pileup occurred in the early morning rush hour and at 12:30 in the afternoon people were still pinned in their cars waiting to be freed. That massive pileup literally brought a large area of the city to a standstill. Our mail never got delivered and our trash never got picked up, the DFW was basically closed today. Might as well have been on an extreme lockdown. Doubt things will be much different tomorrow.

As for Brad he was unable to go to work today due to the pileup. His company told employees to stay home. He is now off from work from now until at least Tuesday maybe Wednesday, depending on the weather conditions. Monday is supposed to be the worst of this "polar vortex" that is hitting Texas. I'm a little nervous about Monday...it's already pretty severe outside...and it's going to get worse? What the heck! The last time it was this cold I think was our first year in the mid-rise apartment with the pugs and a baby Piper at the time. 

So what are we doing these next 4 or 5 days...lots of staying indoors, lots of watching movies, and playing games for us during this now even longer long weekend. We'll probably be eating soup too. I hate soup! Yes, I hate soup! I don't know what is wrong with me, but I'm not much of a fan of soup. Never have been. Stew and chili, I like but not soup too much.  I still might end up eating it though because it is nice and warm on these super cold days. 

If you are in northern Texas...stay home and stay warm friends! If you are somewhere else...then hopefully you have better weather than us right now. Wouldn't take much to be better than our weather. LOL!
