Damn it's cold.  I so wish I had wood for a fire.  The stove just makes the house so much warmer.  I guess I should be thankful that we have gas not electric heat.  Hell I guess I should be thankful we have heat at all.  I love the snow, it's so pretty outside.   I just wish I had fire inside ( Read more... )

 It is so damn cold here.  I hate the cold unless I at least can have the hope of snow.
We had 4" of rain last week when t was warm, now that it is cold enough for snow it's sunny and clear.  
It is colder than a whore's heart right now and just getting colder.  They said on the news last night that our temps were 20 degrees lower than normal!  And ( Read more... )

WoooHooooo!!!!!!!  I is soooooooo happy!!!!  I get snow and fire in the same day!  It is snowing hard here, I mean already laying on the ground and sticking.  Not sticking to the road yet but over night I am sure it will freeze!  Yeah!  I love snow!  and snow with fire even better! 

 I slept soooo late today! And yet the living room was still clean when I got up!  Heck I wouldn't have gotten up when I did except that Liz came down and said hey mom it's late, aren't you gonna get up?  She had just gotten up too.  The boys were good and quiet today, so we slept.  They didn't have Sunday school so I didn't set the alarm.  This ( Read more... )

 
Yeah we finally have a fire! Tom started a fire Tuesday morning, it’s finally gotten consistently cold enough to have one, and of course it will be getting much warmer this weekend (up to almost 70f). But we’ll be able to have it going for at least the next few days.
 I love having a woodstove.   It keeps the house so warm and toasty; so much more ( Read more... )

So much has gone on this weekend.  De being home has piled on the stress, don't get me wrong, it has been enjoyable and she has been a big help in a lot of things, but the extra kid adds extra noise and Thomas didn't have meds one day- Oy that boy is loud.  And of course when princess Elle wasn't bitching about being stuck at home she was ( Read more... )

First snow of the season!  I can't believe it.  Maybe this year we actually will get some snow this year! Wooohooooo.  I can't remember getting snow this early anytime in recent years.  Of course it's not like any major amount, it melted as it touched, but hey, I saw snow.  I am happy ( Read more... )

Wow! It was definitely a long day! I finished my lesson plan early so I went to the bank before I went to the school. I got to the school early, but it seems I was the last one there, good thing I was early. :)

After teaching, I had a class to go to, so I'm off to the college.

After class I had lunch with a friend, then went to ( workout with Maddie. )

Stepping on hot coals, while stoking the woodstove, in nothing but socks burns the bottom of feet and makes holes in socks.

NTS Wear Shoes while doing this!

*ouch ouch ouch*

Took both men, and the boys, up to the in-laws house and loaded up the truck with wood, brought it home and unloaded and stacked. Now both of the men are in bed. *L* The boys and I are still awake, and yet the manthingys' are in bed ( Read more... )
