brrr
Brr!! It's cold today! This morning when we left the house it was eleven degrees F. It's all the way up to 19 now. With a wind chill of ten below. Whee!
I had great difficulty getting the car doors open this morning. Ruthie's door wouldn't unlock at all so I had to put her into her carseat through Isaac's door. yow.
When we got to Isaac's school, just as I was getting him out of the car, I saw one of his friends go by with his mom. I quickly signaled to the mom to take charge of Isaac -- which she has done for me before -- she was happy to do it and I was happy to not have to take Ruthie out of the car and then put her back in. I just hopped back in and drove to her daycare. On a day like this no way did I want to stand around waiting for the bus. (Did I ever mention here that I emailed my alderman a while back, asking him to look into the possibility of putting up a bus shelter at our bus stop? There is NO shelter there at all, nothing to shield one from whatever weather happens to come by. He emailed back saying that he'd look into it, but then nothing. I should follow up.)
Anyway, we got to daycare okay, but did I mention brr?
In news of the stupid, I'm shaking my head over a post just now on the Boston parents' email list. Someone had posted asking for suggestions of gay-friendly venues to hold a wedding and/or wedding reception. The poster specifically said that she had had a few places turn "chilly" on her after they found out it was a same-sex couple. Someone else just replied mentioning a place and saying "I would guess that they would be gay-friendly, although I can't imagine why any place wouldn't be!" Um, clearly you suffer from a severe lack of imagination, then. Sheesh.
In other news of the stupid, I just got a Skype from "Online Notice" telling me that my computer has malware and I should click here to fix it. Please! How dumb do I look? Skype spam now of all things. Double sheesh.
