For the Love of Snow!

We got BUNCHES and BUNCHES of snow!!! It started last Tuesday night and stopped today. Before this, we had barely gotten any snow at all and since my family relies on snow for money in the winter (we do snow removal in the winter and lawn moving/care in the summer) we were really praying for it. And boy, did we get it!
I had to go snow shoveling on Wednesday at 4 AM until 6 PM, Thursday at 4:30 AM - 6:30 PM and today at 12:00 PM (I got a little more rest while my sister KayleeBeth went out and helped with my older brother Kirk) to about 6 PM. So. I am completely beat, bushed and my arms are going to fall off!!!
I just thought I'd let ya'll know what I've been up to and that I might not get any posts in (on this blog and my photography blog) for awhile because it's supposed to snow MORE tomorrow and probably next week too. There's already over TWO FEET on the grass and if no one at all shoveled or plowed the roads they would be horrible!!! We saw six plow trucks in a row on the road one time!
Jeri also came shoveling with us and we're both sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooo sore!!! Kirk gets to sit on his bum in his nice, big snow blower machine thing while we have to use all our "woman power" and practically kill ourselves! We do one route with the big snow blower thing (that's keeps on braking down), a push snow blower (that doesn't operate too well in deep snow and squeals), and shovels (that are getting really loose and wobbly) and then my dad does the bigger route with his truck and plow, a push snow blower and shovels with my younger brother/sister. It is quite tiring work and I only get paid five dollars an hour!!! I'm going to die of being worked to death for nothing!!
I think I will go to bed now. I'm getting cranky and going off about nothing. And it might snow tomorrow!


P.S. I shall try to take some pictures of all this stuff and post them later . . . when I'm not trying to get rid of it. :)
