Just my luck

Unless you have been living under a rock you know that it is cold. Cold basically EVERYWHERE! Our low tonight is suppose to be 13 degrees with a wind chill below zero. THAT'S WAY TO COLD FOR ME! That's one reason I live in Texas. It's not suppose to do that!

Down her in the south, we don't do cold so well and neither do our animals. For instance, all the schools over in Shreveport, LA closed today because it might snow and ice over (it didn't). Benny's office told him not to go to the office because is might ice over (still didn't). He still had to work but just a lot closer to home. Like 15 miles away which is good.

This morning our electricity went out at 4:45am. We sleep with the tv on so I woke up right when it happened. I jumped up and looked outside. No ice or snow. Walked to another window and my neighbor did have her electricity. WTF?! So I called it in to the electric company. Benny got ready in the dark as I laid there pissed that I didn't have a heater working. At 5:30 the electric company showed up and called from the driveway to tell me to get my dogs. Guess the truck scared the shit out of my boxer. Then I had to let the guy in the pasture to get to the transformer. It was sooooo cold. I stood there while he worked. My cig wouldn't even stay lit because it was so cold and windy. By 6:30am we have electricity and I am back in bed.

At 11am Benny calls and says we have to get some big round bails of hay to block the wind off of our horses. This kind of cold and baby animals don't go good together. Some folks have already lost some cows because of freezing to death and seeins how we have a 3 month old baby horse, we gotta do something fast. My dad spent most of the morning looking for someone with hay and when he finally did find some, they of course jacked up the price. Asshats!

So, now I am ready for summer because this shit just sucks!
