Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Could someone with influence please get Mother Nature to turn down her hot flash cure.  Being a summer lover myself, this is not my idea of a nice day.  Low -15 and high -11 and that's NOT with the wind chill factor.  Add to that the sniffles, coughs, and watery eyes; I'm not really a happy camper here. I think I need a attitude adjustment, hee hee.
 
Danielle started a new job a few weeks ago (one with benefits) and her vehicle wouldn't start theis morning.  Ours did so Daddy to the rescue.  Took her to work and will pick her up later.
 
All schools are closed here and would you believe the coaches want the kids to come in a practice.  Sports before safety.  Seems they have little regard for the kids driving in and home in this awful weather.  There used to be a rule that no school, no extra curricular activies.  Parents have been fb-ing their complaints.  I told them to stand up and do something about it.  The boards and administration are always giving into the coaches over common sense and the only way to stop it for parents to stand their ground.  Haven heard if they did.  I know some refused to let their kids go in.
 
 
As you can guess, there is not much going on here due to the weather.  Watching reruns, movies, cleaning, cooking and reading.  Best of all, playing with the dog, or should I say the  "chasing and tossing" his toys game. 
 
Everyone keep warm out there.

  1. Well we are unseasonably warm today in the 50's. It will revert back to winter tomorrow though not as cold as where you are. We will be a relatively balmy 14degrees. Where did I leave the suntan lotion?

  3. M said she's been researching on Twitter the perfect place to live and has finally decided it's not so bad here. We don't have hurricanes, not many tornadoes, no earthquakes but we do get snow and cold. Florida does look awful good at times tho - until summer comes with the high humidity!

  4. Still not getting notifications of your posts, so just come on in the off chance. I'm really sorry it's so cold I heard on the news about Hell freezing over, funny if it wasn't so bleak, It's surely wrong to be ferrying the children around in these temps and conditions, what if there was a breakdown ? it doesn't bear thinking about, keep as warm as you can,
