Make the snow stop!

Well, I've got my tissues for blowing my nose, my tea to soothe my throat, my jacket to keep me warm and the walls of OLS protecting me from the gross weather. It's begun to snow outside... which I don't like. I'm off work at 1am and due to leave then to go to my parents house for Easter. However. I'm not going to enjoy the drive, THAT'S for sure. We've been told to expect anywheres from 10-30cm. Oh well. I'll drive carefully and safely.

Today was pretty boring/work-filled. Got up at 11, went to Tim Hortons for Andy's coffee and my tea, then to Foodland to get Andy smokes. Well... there should have been a sign out front telling people to bring tents for the long waits in the lines! I stood in line for probably close to 25 minutes. Luckily, a woman came into work early and opened another register so I was able to get out of there. I dropped Andy off his coffee and smokes and then boogeyed to work. Got here in just enough time to bring up my tool and log onto the phones. Calls weren't bad but there were SOOOO many of them. For about 2 hours or so, the que was above 30. It was just one after another. Your lungs tend to get tired after 4.5 hours of that!

I've kinda un-officially decided that every day I post, will have some song lyrics along with it, to kind of give emphasis to my post, or my thoughts, or just the song in my head.
So... today's is Jann Arden. A song that's stuck in my head: 'Good Mother'
"I've got money in my pocket
I like the colour of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
I've got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
And her voice is what keeps me here..."

I dont know why, but this part of the song has been stuck in my head since I've started this post. (Well, actually, since I went to the bathroom halfway through this post) The lyrics really tell us that in the midst of crappy things that may be happening in our lives (I know all about it), we can look around, and see what we DO have in our lives to smile about, or be happy about, or be thankful for.
I dont really have money in my pocket, but I do have a free coffee tab in the car for Timmies!
I have a lot of friends who love me, even though they may live far away, or be busy a lot.
I have a house and I have a car, even though they may be dirty... a lot of people don't have that benefit in their lives.
I DO have a good mother. I can't even put into words what my mother does for me physically and mentally. She's helped me through a lot of things, without even knowing. I know I've lashed out at her before about things (like coffee/tea urns at the wedding) and I'm sure she's been confused by it all.. but all in all, I love her, and I know that she loves me.
Same with dad (beware dad. possible tears coming). My dad has always been my rock. The kinda guy that I know I could tell anything to, he'd blink and say 'okay...' and not yell at me. I don't think I was ever yelled at as a child (unless I was in danger... like running down the driveway in Sheffield's Mills). Dad is loving and caring a big teddy bear. However, I do know that if ANYONE were to lay a hand on me, dad would get to wherever I was in a heartbeat and make sure that justice is done. My dad is my father, my best friend, my pastor and all around, one of the coolest people I know.

Well... I'm about to log into the phones and start taking calls. Wish me luck with my drive at 1am!
