Oh boy, did we have our first ice storm ever!! For Texas it was not what I call fun. We woke up to our front door frozen shut, our tree collapsed in the yard, and the power flickering on and off. Hubby went to work the first day of ice and upon coming home it was getting worse, we could barely get out of the driveway for the incline. So, we decided we would brave the weather and stay in a hotel close to hubby's work, this way he had no worries about travel, electricity going out, or being trapped in our drive. The hotel stay was a nice break I do have to say. We scored a handicapped suite so we had a tremendous amount of room to sprawl out. It turned out to be a little mini vacation for the boys, put the school work aside, watched tv, drank hot chocolate, got cozy in the hot tub, had a fabulous breakfast, and the best swimming in the indoor pool while looking out the windows at the ice and snow outside. I wasn't grateful for the ice but I definitely was grateful for the memories made with my boys. Sometimes you just need to slow down and enjoy life..
