Snow Day 3 = ICE DAY = NO FUN

Just wanted to post a quick update...
Marc is OKAY, but thanks to the ICE, he was in an accident...
He spun out of control and ended up on a pole ...

( He had to call to ask what to do about the car, they were saying if no one was injured not to even call them.. be he had to)
While he was waiting on the police, I started searching for a tow company that was open.
They all were closed, not able to get the drivers to work.
Finally had one that was there...
They showed up and pulled the car off.
Oh, he says the police had chains on his tires and he was still spinning and having a hard time on the road getting to Marc!
Marc was able to drive it home...
This is what it looks like:


So glad he is safe...
But, I am ready for the ICE to leave.
It is funny, people think that we are just stupid down here for not knowing how to drive in snow..
It isn't the SNOW that is the problem, it is the ICE that is causing accidents...
Top it off that the city is not prepared... Okay, not just the city...
The state isn't.

    Oh, no. Glad he's okay.

    My husband keeps saying "work isn't closed" and I say, if school buses can't drive, then neither can you....I might have to show this picture to prove my point.

    So glad he's okay! We get ice like that here, too, but our government (local, county, state) is probably more prepared to deal with it. Still, there are days when we don't go out because it's not safe.

    Krystyn's comment hits home for me, too. My husband's workplace never closes, but we have decided that it's worth staying home--even if it costs a precious vacation day.

    This is my biggest fear!!! And him getting hurt! I'm so glad that Marc was okay!!!!

    David was right back out in it today. Nasty out there - the freezing rain that came yesterday afternoon and night has left ice on top of all the powdery snow - making it so much worse now. Our street is a solid sheet of ice - hard to even go out and play in it now - too icy.

    I am SO glad he's ok! I can't believe that tow companies don't have employees on. This would be prime time for them...you'd think they'd do anything and everything to man those places!

    I am glad he is safe. JDaniel3 has been home with us for two days. His company is open, but told everyone to say home the roads were too dangerous. We played yesterday outside before the snow and tried today. It was too slippery

    OMG, SO glad Marc is OK... I gasped when you said he hit a pole, even after you said he was OK... that's what happens when you worry about family.
    The poor car, just what you need. Hope it's not too expensive to fix. I know what you mean about driving on ice - nobody can do it, it's just imposible, everyone should just stay home and cuddle.
    Be safe my friends, and give Marc and extra big hug for me.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
