Can you believe the #PeacefulPaws are SIX WEEKS OLD?!
I swear they were just born last week. How has it been a month and a half already?
In two more weeks, they'll get their first shots and start going to arfpnc.com adoption fairs to look for their forever homes. 🤯

Yesterday, it was the shelf under the cat condo. Today, Lahna's asleep on Chad's keyboard tray.
Girl, we gave you multiple beds! 🤦♀️

It's a start. Took me ~2 hrs. At least I got it down to the ice layer in most spots & down to concrete in some once the ice started to loosen up.
My goal was to clear enough snow to see where the driveway is & not end up in the ditch on either side of it. I accomplished that, so I'm good.

OMG, y'all! THEY PLOWED OUR STREET!!!!
It's a Groundhog Day miracle!
(Personally, I suspect it's just because they were finally getting around to plowing our street from the last storm.)
Now we just need to shovel our insanely long driveway, and we'll be able to go places! 😄

Trump Lawsuit Against IRS Puts Him on Both Sides of the Same Case
President Trump’s lawsuit against the government that he runs presents a mind-bending minefield of conflicts that could end with his appointees approving a federal payout to him.

Chad just went out and checked our snow levels.
That's A LOT for the South, where our city snow plows are a dump truck with a blade attached to the front.
I do wonder if we got compression b/c we can see the shape of the frog pond now. That wasn't the case last night.

when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY
“It’s worse than people think,” said attorney Eric Lee, who tried to visit clients at Dilley on Saturday. “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”
“[Liam] keeps asking about that hat and that backpack that are in the picture,” the congressman said. “I think they took that from him.”

It's not supposed to stop snowing until something like 2AM.
I'm a little scared what it's gonna look like when we wake up tomorrow.

Y'all, one of Chad's relatives (from Buffalo, NY) just asked me if we even own a show shovel.
I told him that we do, in fact.
I use it for shoveling leaves.

It’s entirely legal to record LE officers from your car. So they’re brazenly, illegally terrorizing this woman for exercising her constitutional rights.
Yet we know that none of these officers be held accountable. We know this administration encourages this behavior.
This is police state stuff.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

OMG, y'all! I just looked outside, and Chad's footprints from going out to feed the critters are almost entirely filled in with snow already. It's only been like an hour, hour and a half maybe. 😲
I was really hoping they were overestimating when they said we were in the 6"-9" area.
Apparently not.
