The Future of the Nichols bloodline

This snow blows

So we got about 4 inches of snow and it is going to get very windy today. School is cancelled for today and the road conditions are going to get ugly.

Jess has been working on scholarship applications. We will have most of her college paid for from her track scholarship but any other scholarship she can get will help with the remaining balance and provide spending money for her.

Drew had practice at 6 am yesterday and was suppose to have it at 6 am today. They cancelled school about 10 minutes before we were going to head out.

It has been a battle with my tenants but I think it is coming to an end. It will be good when I can eventually just sell that house and be done with the whole thing.

The superintendent's secretary got arrested the day before yesterday for 5th degree theft. I am pretty sure she bounced checks. They announce all arrests on the local radio station so it was on three of four times yesterday. How embarassing would that be? She had already declared bankrupcy once and apparently is back at over spending again.

I get to wear jeans today since there is no school. It should be nice and quiet at work. Woo-hoo!

Trash day today so the princesses have to pick up my garbage in crappy weather. Another reason to be pleased with the snow and wind today. Better tie your skirts down today ladies......lol

Off to start

Frozen tundra of the midwest

Cold as it can be outside. This really sucks!

Drew had a game last night and they lost...BIG 71-29. Drew had 2 points but when you lose by 50, it is tough to say anyone had a good game.

Jess plays at DCG tonight. The DCG girls team is ranked 5th in the state.

Christmas with at Jenny's was a blast. It kind of sucked to drive there and back in the same day but it was worth it. It was nice to see everyone.

I have some pictures I need to post so I hope to get those up sometime this week.

The furnace in our house on 1st street went out so we had to have it replaced....UGH! The tenants didn't have heat for a couple of days, of course on the coldest days of the year. Anyway, that was a sucky expense I really didn't want to have.

It got replaced yesterday so they are now warm.

Off to start.
