I’m so glad tomorrow is a day off for us!! I’ve about had enough of this week, and it can just piss off! It’s made me unreasonably cranky as if you can’t tell!

The temperatures have been brutal! Nearing -50 degrees with wind chills many days. We’ve been locked up like dogs in a kennel at school for 3 days now. The buses finally didn’t run yesterday, so there were more of us than them. Nicholas has not been to school all week because of the cold, so I’m BORED, and my days are draggin’ ass! My joints are so bad from this cold, that I feel like I’m about 104, so working out has been a less than pleasant experience, and at 5:00 am, I’m all about pleasant!

On a good note, my car has been “mostly” fixed!! While I dread any more car expenses (we’ve had enough in the last 3 months to choke a horse!), now I will have HEAT, so I shouldn’t have to drive with a blanket across my lap! If it didn’t get fixed soon, I was going to heat a potatoe and put it at my feet!! hehehe (can you tell we’re doing pioneers at school?) The air bags have been replaced, and fixed properly (formerly my steering wheel was held together by hot glue…….I caulked the bugger with the stuff), and next week I’ll have 2 new tires, so perhaps I won’t be sliding all over the place! Grrrrrrrr I HATE this weather!

Okay……..I’ve whined enough (for now). I’m off to finish my reads and coffee, and head out shortly.
