Oh Punxsutawney Phil... Why did you have to see your shadow!? I'm not surprised the car temp was saying 5° this morning.

Ha! Love the meme. That's some brutal cold!

I'm just trying to plow through some work so I can get home early today. I miss my babies and our au pair is going to Chicago for the weekend (so she will probably freeze, lol) and i'm sure she'd like some extra time to prep. if i can swing an early departure, i think A and i will make a chocolate cake to take to some friends. then my mom is coming on sunday to help with my sister's kids for the week. so she's not staying with us, but we'll get to see her.

Hello!

I've never understood the ground hog. It seems so backwards! Not that it can't be sunny in winter but I have always felt a grey day better described winter and a sunny day better described the spring is coming. 5° is quite chilly sun or no since though.

I am losing my patience today. Seems like it's time for a little break, perfect timing since I am going to a women's conference tonight and tomorrow morning. Weeee.

aggiebug have fun!!

[kartish]

Have fun, hope it's a good retreat aggiebug!

Ooh cold dreemkin, hope you stay warm!

agm04 hope you have a nice visit with your mom!

It's been a rough day at work today digging through one issue after the next. But I'm done for now.

To night we need to straighten up for a party tomorrow night and go shopping for said party. We both work tomorrow so hopefully we can get it all done tpnight. The party is for my friend birthday; we are trying to actually get together more often than never this year. Ok be of my goals for now is to have some sort of a social life.

Happy birthday to everyone's little!

Summer has started here. Winter lasted a whole week. I'd like some snow.

N asks every day if he has to go to school the next day. He has fun so I think it's just wanting to stay home with his toys and try to con me into tablet time. He'll get plenty of tablet time this weekend as I'm oncall and H has a race.

I did a fitness test for the get in shape challenge at work. It about killed me.

N and I are battling colds. Tired and stuffy. We're also supposed to go to my sister's house for my other sister's birthday on Sunday. I want to see Pink sing the national anthem if we stay for the super bowl, but that's it for the game for me.

Double post.

aggiebug hope you enjoy it. And it's been my understanding that when it's sooo cold clouds do not form because there's no moisture in the atmosphere (hence the shadow and 6 more weeks of winter blah). I think it's something to do with atmospheric pressure. I took a meteorology class in college...too long ago for me to remember. In winter in Chicago, if it's sunny it's super cold, and gloomy is doable 👍

seamonster you don't have to say, but where do you live again? I love the Superbowl bc I'm a huge fan of football. I am sick of the patriots being in it though. Especially with them cheating all these past years with the deflated footballs ugh. I also love the commercials and half time show...and food!

That makes sense, growing up in Texas I never experienced that as a kid ! I did see something that said his predictions we're more often than not wrong lol. But we are talking about a ground hog predicting weather.

We had the girls bday party this morning. Ugh I'm exhausted.

I spent hours yesterday in the kitchen. I made cupcakes in ice cream cones and a buttercream frosting. Then I topped them with a rainbow candy. I had extra batter so I made regular cupcakes and mini ones too!

I also made unicorn popcorn. I made popcorn on the stove top and then spayed it with pink food colouring and mixed in candy.

Pinterest will be the death of me! It was fun but I'm glad it's over!

[lilyelayne]

aggiebug hope you had fun at your retreat!
agm04 have a nice visit with your mom!
Feel better seamonster!
mishka29 you’re so crafty; sounds like a super cute party

[lilyelayne]

G has a runny nose and sore throat and cough. No real fever. Nephew tested positive for flu yesterday so I’m dreading a fever. SIL says I should go ahead and take G to urgent care for a flu test, but DNW all those germs in the waiting room.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne hope he stays flu free!

Praying it's not the flu and I definitely wouldn't take him yet. I bet it wouldn't show positive at this point even if it is the case.

Is he vaccinated? Hopefully that is enough to stave it off or at least minimize the illness in your house.

[lilyelayne]

Still holding strong with no fever! Fingers crossed!

Go Eagles!

Work this morning them it's a quick stop to pick up the boys and the veggies n fruit for the party at my mom's house.

Work is not holding my attention much at the moment, but it's brainless stuff on the task list today.

mishka29 the party sounds so cute! Are both your girls birthdays this month?

lilyelayne fingers crossed no flu!

[lilyelayne]

G is much improved today! He did actually run a fever this morning but none since, and his nose and cough and energy levels are better.

The tenant is supposed to be moving out of our new house today. FIL drove by and said there’s lots of activity! 12 days til closing!

[dreemkin]

I agree! Go eagles!
