FREAKING COLD OUT THERE!!!
Greetings my friends, I hope this journal finds all of you well. I am not sure whether I will get to your journals and hugs tonight or not... busy day and I am now played out. And it is only 6:15!!! I want to go to bed already. I am finding it harder having the boys for the extended length of time. I find it takes quite a chunk out of my day and it is harder for me to fit everything in. I guess it did not help that I had them for three full days due to illness and a storm day. That is almost 10 hours straight!!! not use to having my time so restricted.Plus I have this new lady that io do grocery shopping for and she has a huge list every time. I have gone 3 times in a week. She is only feeding two people but the orders are humongous!! I had to shop for her today.I was suppose to be at my girlfriends to steam clean and polish her laminate floors at 10:00 but I did not get there until almost 11:00. By then I was starving from not eating since the night before and was feeling really wore down and out of sorts. So I had a ham biscuit and coffee to fortify myself and felt better. So we chatted until 11:50 and I had to go pick up my daughter and take her to an appointment. Thank heavens she had a way home. So then I cleaned until about 1:40, had a little chat break and then off to pick up the boys for 2:00. The little guy broke the rules and was playing on the snow hills instead of coming directly to the car and then he lied about it. So he had a 10 minute time out all by himself in the livingroom. He was none too pleased but he did not have a fit or sass me.. He knows better, I am not his mother and will not put up with foolishness!!! I had them until 4:40. So that meant treat time and some craft work plus separating them a few times when they bicker or the little one whines. He turns on the water works really... easy and always blames his brother for this or that. He always wants to look the innocent but 8 times out of 10 he starts it!!!My day started out on the wrong foot right from the get go... the boys arrived 20 minutes early, I blew a circuit breaker twice and had to trundle to the basement, which I hate. I had no time to exercise, had a quicky shower and off we went for the rest of the day... non- stop.The weather here is freezing and I mean freezing, how about -39*f!!! this trend is suppose to continue into Saturday. You just can’t get enough close on, the wind just cuts right through everything. Br.... I’ll be glad to get the forecasted snowstorm for Monday, it will warm things up a bit. The little guy in the ice cube is me!!!Anyway, I’ll close with a quote, "Success is not a result of spontaneous combustion. you must set yourself on fire!!" author unknown. Be well, keep warm. Debbie p.s. this type font is called snowcaps, very appropriate, don’t you think? LITTLE JOKE... IF YOU WANT TO MAKE GOD LAUGH... TELL HIM YOUR PLANS. HE, HE!
