Mattocks Family News

What a silly family I have....LOL

You guys must love Sonia now, no matter what, and be very very nice to her I think. :)

Well the weather is quickly turning nasty. Woke up to a beautiful cloudless day but the wind has proceeded to get worse throughout the day and it is now so loud and strong I am fearful of my garage doors having problems. They are banging and making alot of noise and they are closed. I can hear the wind whistling past the windows. The wind is blowing some very large clouds in that are probably full of that snow they were saying was going to come tonight and I am sure just waiting for that unsuspecting moment when they will start dumping. Welcome Spring, huh.

The boys are taking a very nice nap and must be quite exhausted as they have been sleeping about 2 hours now. But they have been playing quite hard the last few days and school and late nights I'm sure have just made this nap a blessed thing for them.

I do believe we may be in for a bad storm, really. The sun was out all bright and shiny but it has suddenly disappeared here at my house.

I have found that this house and all its tile and windows make for a very difficult time of heating the place. I find that I am most of the time cold and since I am trying out this new thing called frugality I just bundle up. I do believe my mom has confiscated half of Travis sweatshirts since I have lived here since she puts one on every time she comes over. haha But she always brings them back. I am thinking of buying her a big furry robe for putting on over her clothes when she comes here to keep her warm.

Her and Josh and Ana come and keep me company and we eat and go for late night walks. Last night we had Jambalaya and Ana made the most scrumptious pumpkin, white chocolate, cheesecake. It really was very good and they left it in my fridge and right now I do believe it is calling my name.

Tomorrow will be Travis' 14th day straight of working 12 hours every day with no let up. He says he is quite tired but still hanging in there. He is becoming quite the welder now and was told by the inspector on one of his recent welds that it was one of the best ones they had seen, every weld is inspected and must pass a test and so God is blessing us and keeping him in favor of his employers and guiding his hands and even though it is away from home at least he has a job unlike alot of people I currently know that unfortunately do not. So we thank God every day for that.
