St. Louis got over 8" of snow in 12 hours, and of course it was my weekend to work. And the CSN Gina called in. So I was CSN Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night we had a sleepover at my house with Cindy, Heather T, Molly, and Tony! We went out for mexican before the snow began and Sean came too.

This December and Christmas season in general went by in a blur. Court, kid illnesses, car trouble and the like pretty much consumed me. The girls went to see their dad on Christmas Eve at 5, and then I got them back today (Dec 26) at 10am. I missed them like crazy.

And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
