And I wanted snow because?

I guess this winter has applied to that old saying of "be careful what you pray for?" Nicky has spent the last month praying for a snowstorm and he certainly got his prayers answered. I grew up only wanting snow so I could get out of school and in northern Indiana that just didn't happen much. Flat roads, and the capability of being able to keep them pretty clear, well, school was usually in session. Then living in upstate New York for five years, well, same thing only much, much more snow. Ridiculously so. But oh well. It will be gone before we know it and it's been nice. Easy for me to say since we never lost power. Unlike half a million people in the state of Kentucky. It's been a mess here. Then to add salt on the wound we had almost another 4" yesterday with ridiculous cold and wind, which caused blowing and drifting. Richard didn't take my Outlook which was a mistake, since he got the car stuck at the bottom of the hill which is where it remains. They've decided to go ahead and have Journey tonight which I'm not real crazy about. Only because I was at church all day Monday helping Nell Anne and Richard with some stuff. I cleaned, Richard took things apart and Nag worked on some curtains. But at that time the back lot was an absolute mess, which I'm sure is worse now. No one plows it back there. More than likely if I drive Richard's car, it would get stuck. Mainly because his tires have no traction:) Fortunately, the kids and I have continued to school. We will be done mid May. I feel so bad for these kids in public school. Not only have they taken away their summers, but they are going to have to make up these snow days. They now make these kids begin the second week of August and aren't done until the end of May/first week of June. It makes no sense. Like a longer school year is going to make them smarter? SC building another high school and being able to have smaller classes would make them smarter. More one on one interaction would be nice. The stories I've heard...
Now to vent a bit on politics. OMG!!!!!!! Who in their right minds vote for Democrats?! Richard sent me a link today to CSPAN showing Pelosi saying that every day this stimulus does not get passed 500 million people will lose their jobs. How do you do that when there are only 303 million people in the U.S.? That woman is a nightmare. If people cannot see that they are leading this nation, to becoming socialist, I just don't know what they are hearing. Anyone, whom thinks this idea of spreading the wealth is a good idea, has a guilt complex. I REFUSE to feel guilty for what my husband makes. He worked hard to get what he is making and it's because of that, that we are able to tithe our gross pay. Money that is given to our church and then distributed towards missions, outreach in our community. I'm pretty certain these Democrats that like to preach on giving to the poor, more than likely are giving nothing. Heck, they aren't even paying their taxes, hence Dashle, Geithner, etc... Should I go on? To me, when you feel guilty or make others feel guilty, you are blasting the blessings the Lord has given you back into His face. Yes, I believe people should be more compassionate and giving. If people aren't willing though, to better themselves and we are going to start handing people things on silver platters what good is that doing them and how fair is it to people like my husband that worked incredibly hard to get where he is? Four years of undergrad (we paid over $20,000 for that) then he went on to get his Masters. Yet, someone that might have just a high school diploma is entitled to what my husband makes? No way. It's not fair. Everyone should have the same opportunities. That I say yes too. But if you aren't going to work for it, you don't deserve it. I've had my rant for the day.
