Something is happening outside.
I don't know if it's sleet or frozen rain or
just regular rain wearing tap shoes.....but there's
a noise out there in the dark.
Something is happening.
I hope it isn't going to be much, whatever it is.
I have been cold for days
(or for about seven weeks----ever since
Baby J stopped being my built-in heater)
and I'm so ready for some unseasonably warm days.
Wouldn't that be lovely?
An early spring?
Oh, yes! Sign me up for one of those too!
This little short month of February may end up
seeming like a very long month. It's going to be
a crazy time at work for Lloyd Dobbler.
Lots of long days. He got home at 9:30pm Friday
night. He told me on the phone he has to be
there by 6:00 tomorrow morning which means he'll
need to leave here by 5:00am.
We knew there would be a lot of craziness
while they are working on all the new stuff they
are working on. I just hope it will settle down once
all of that is in place and working.
That'll be in a couple of months.
When the warm weather really is here.
We had a good day today.
Got some school done.
Got some clutter sorted through,
thrown away (though heaven knows not enough
of that was done! I could spend days on it
---I need to spend days on it!).
Went to the store and to the library.
Made ham and cheese quiche for supper.
Read a couple of chapters to the kids.
Nothing major. Just basic stuff.
One step in front of the other.
And now the kids are watching the Charlie Brown
movie that they got from the library today.
Big E has been dragging all day.
I hope he isn't coming down with anything.
But he spent the night with his buddy on Friday night,
had a busy day on Saturday, full day on Sunday.
If he gets overly tired, he just drags. He has to have
his sleep. He's got bags under his eyes right now.
We've avoided sickness for so long.
I'd really like to keep avoiding it.
Oh yeah--Lloyd Dobbler also told me on the phone
that one of his co-workers went home with some
kind of stomach thing. Like a stomach bug or flu.
I'm hoping that it was food poisoning
('cause that's not contagious)
and I am really hoping that whatever it is,
Lloyd Dobbler does not get it or bring it home to us.
Although I love the quote I read somewhere that said:
"I'm one stomach virus away from my goal weight."
Only that's not true for me.
I'd have to have limbs amputated
to hit my goal weight right now.

There are some things going around. Everyone needs to rest.
Look at you being all normal and stuff with your family!! See there is a new normal.
I like the stomach flu quote. Although, I don't find it to be a truth. I had my jaws wired shut for weeks and only dropped 10 lbs (which was promptly gained back). Oh well, a girl can only do what a girl can do.
Oscar month on TCM-***squeal***
See!!! It sounds like you're getting right back into the swing of things and able to get out and then BACK again to fix dinner. I know that with a newborn and several others in tow, all that is a herculean feat!!!!
Good for you!!!
