Friday's Foto Finish Fiesta

It's Friday again and I am excited about this Friday. Not because of anything I'm going to do but because it's the last Friday of January and that means the month from Hell is almost over. Of course it's Friday Foto Finish with Candid Carrie and that always helps cheer me up.

There have been two major headlines at The Wilson's House this week.

Headline #1

A Mother who spent a day and a half in bed suffering from the worst cold in the history of colds comes out to discover her husband and children have destroyed the entire house.


Now while my house is still a complete mess from this I really didn't want to share a picture of it's messiness and there is no way you all are getting a picture of me sick. So it's on to the next headline.

Headline #2

Chiuaua almost killed by enormous icicles from the latest snow and ice storm.


I don't talk about Ginger much because she gets on my last nerve most of the time but we do have a Chiuaua named Ginger. Ginger is only 6 pounds and she hates the cold, snow, and rain. As you can imagine this makes it alto of fun to take her outside. Of course Tuesday afternoon we got hit with a huge snow and ice storm. Whenever it snows here we get icicles on our roof like these



Well last night as I was headed to the bathroom I noticed Ginger sitting by the back door. This is usually a good sign that she needs out so I stopped and hooked her to her chain then opened the door. Normally the icicles are on the outside portion of the overhang but for some reason with this storm some formed on the inside of the roof. When I opened the door it knocked on off and it came crashing down right on top of Ginger as she was headed out the door. Don't worry it came down on it's side so Ginger was not harmed but now I can't get her to go out the door at all.

It also didn't help that the kids watched this happen and now they are convinced that one is going to come down and stab them when they are going in and out of the house. Unfortunately I think we are going to be stuck with these icicles for a while since more snow is coming tomorrow and and even bigger storm is coming next week.

Alright, I shared my story so now it's you turn. Head over to Candid Carries and sign up using Mr. Linky. It's really easy and lots of fun.

Those are some icicles. they had to close down a lane of highway to get rid of a ginormous icicle hanging on a sign. They were afraid it could do some damage to a car. Crazy. Feel better.

Poor Ginger...Poor you, what a fun challenge... :S

Could you take a broom to the icicles?

I wonder if there are fatalities from falling icicles? Off to find out.

Poor Ginger...poor thing probably thought the sky was falling on her!!

Glad you are feeling a bit better, but not good that the house ended up messy!!

Can you knock those icicles down? I had to do that when we had a big storm a few years ago..
