What a week we just went through. Only in Oklahoma can you go from 65 and sunny on Wednesday to crappy sleet and snow the next day. I have been doing the Bread route for almost two years and haven't ever seen anything like what we went through this week. With the help of my favorite wife we put out close to $13,000 in bread. To put this is perspective we do $8-9,000 in a normal week. You would have thought that the end of times was coming the way people were buying it up. I can say that I have lived in Oklahoma over 22 years and at no point was the weather so bad that you couldn't get somewhere if you really needed to. There are times when its just better to be at home, come on people. Katrina said they were grabbing the bread as fast as she could put it out on the shelf.
On the plus side Katrina got a couple days off from school, so she was able to work with me which was a huge help. I can not tell her enough how much her help makes my job so much smoother. Thursday was when the storm came in and for most people they didn't have to work that afternoon. School was let out Friday and you could really tell it from all the kids out and about playing. Funny how when you are a kid snow days were the best... EVER!!! Not so much now.... now that I'm out working in it. Friday wasn't much fun at all with all the ice and snow. Yesterday wasn't to bad weather wise but we didn't end up getting our bread until mid afternoon. Once again I was glad that Katrina was helping.
We did part of the route yesterday and did the rest of it today. After we got done we came home and Katrina made me some sandwiches,lol. It was nice to get home and relax for a bit. Watched another show of "LOST" and still don't know what the heck is going on,lol. It's getting better and getting to the point where you want to keep watching to know whats going on. One great thing about having NetFlix is you have no commercials so the shows are only about 40mins long. All in all it wasn't too bad of a week. Worked a ton but will be nice when we get paid. One nice thing about this job is that the more you work the more you make. Momma needs a new pair of shoes...lol.
In closing I hope that everyone had a great and safe weekend. Summer will be here soon enough and then we feast with great friends and great food. Miss you all and till next time this has been looking through my window covered with ice and snow.
