As for present day, today we went down to the local spring to load up some milk jugs with water. I think we take like 25 or so jugs each time we go. In goes quick in this house, though as I try to drink at least a gallon per day. It's great, though, as the water is free and very clean. Much better than our tap water! It was only 25º today (the past few days it has been 7, 4, 3, 2, etc...) but my fingers and toes still throbbed like no one's business! I definitely new boots and gloves. The ones I have now are a sorry excuse!

I wish we had a spring here. The closest one is almost an hour away though.


I have to shave my family. Hair gets into everything!!

I cover the bathroom floor and vanity in newspaper when i do mine. That way it is a lot easier to clean up.

Today, I learned the definition of fear.

As I was working, an announcement came over the intercom saying they needed me in the office, which almost never happens. So I knew something was up.

As I get closer, I see my assistant run out of the office with my keys. He runs to me down the hallway and said the babysitter called and she needed me....it was an emergency.

My cellphone had six missed calls, all from the babysitter. As I was driving across town, I called and all I could hear was the baby screaming. It was all I could do to keep it on the road.

When I got there, the baby had rolled off the bed and landed on the hardwood floor. Last night, the baby rolled three times in one direction. We forgot to tell her. So she was laying in the bed playing with the baby and before she knew it, the baby was out of arms reach and her legs was hanging off the bed, from thigh down....she started sliding and the babysitter grabbed her hand as she went over the side, but her hand slipped out of hers. She hit her head on the ground.

My cousin is a doctor and lives 1/2 between our town and the hospital. She met me on the interstate and jumped in the truck with me. You can't imagine how I felt when she said, "Ballcoach, slow down. Bambina is fine. She's gonna be fine."

And she is....has a good little knot, but she is fine. No broken bones, no concussion, all good.

The emotion and stress of it has hit me in the past hour...I'm soooo tired. I'm about to head off to bed. But you better believe I will give thanks tonight, more than usual.

Y'all have a good night. Can't wait to spend the weekend with everyone here and I can't wait for all the football fun.

Glad she is okay, friend!!! That is scary.

Merry Friday! We are here again, another week closer to our favourite time of year. I can't believe it is the end of the month already.

Not much planned for weekend. I am in work for part of it and the rest of it will be spent just indoors. We tend to hibernate on weekends during the cold months lol!

Tonight we are watching an old movie , Affair in Trinidad with the beautiful Rita Hayworth. I bought this ages ago and haven't watched it yet. Tomorrow we will watch a family film , Jack and the Giant Slayer so looking forward to those.

Looking forward to this evening when everyone gets in and we can just get in our pyjamas and chill.

What are you all up to this weekend?

Have a fun start to the weekend everyone!!

Hope you guys have a fun night and enjoy your weekend!!
 
Enjoy the movie and your weekend staying cozy indoors!!

I'm so sorry that you are not well. Last winter we were all constantly battling colds and viruses at our house. Praying that you make a quick recovery. It must ne taking it out of you I'm sure.

Have a great weekend!

Heading to bed now. Tomorrow is cat shelter day and I am eager to meet our new arrivals. It is bittersweet when we get new ones in as you know that they have usually come from a terrible situation and are glad to have saved them, but you wish that the situation (or, in the case of yet another litter of kittens, the cats themselves) did not exist in the first place.

Hope you have fun at the shelter today.


Aww, thanks Star!!!

There will be OPERA this weekend!!! Yessss

WooHoo!!!!!!!! :???:

working 10 -5:30 today, but leaving shortly to take my son out to do a few things first.
So everyone have a great day!

Have a good day at work Star!!!
 
Are the old ones archived anywhere, so the "opera newbies" can sample the past opuses?
Sounds like a job for our archivist extraordinaire, Made!
 
Continued prayers for your niece, I hope she gets well soon!

Thanks, HMG!!! She is doing okay. My sister just doesn't make her take the Cold med if she doesn't want to. I make her take it.

Good morning!
The morning rush is over, everyone is off to school and work. I just finished chasing Bentley around the house, he's being a terror today. He's bullying poor Bella, she's been hissing at him all morning. He really just wants to play but he doesn't know when to stop. I have a ton of cat toys out for him, I wish he would play with them.
I'm sitting down for a much needed cup of coffee. I straightened up the house, started laundry and finished my grocery list. I am going to the butcher today and will do the rest of my food shopping tomorrow.
Not too much else going on. I really want to wash the cars but I have to see how cold it's going to be today. I don't want my driveway to turn in to an ice rink.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!

LOL!!! Hope Bentley has calmed down a little bit now!!

Have a good day, HMG!!!!

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

The meeting with the county commission chairman went good last night, but I'm not sure it was worth all the effort. He wanted input from the people in the county about how to make our county attractive to young people, so they don't move away when they finish school. Obviously, most of the talk was attracting more industry for better paying careers. Then it went off-track, with arguments for particular dirt roads to be paved, and water services to outer areas. Oh well.

It's warming up to the upper 50's today, low 70's tomorrow, and 80 Sunday. Time to break out the shorts again!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you have a good weekend Brad!!!

Glad the meeting went well.

Good luck buddy!

Have fun with your niece

((Hugs))

Not yet, but that is on my list of things I want to do.

Well at least my niece isn't having to sit on my lap and watch cartoons today. She is chilling out on the couch and giving me some time to get caught up on other stuff.

That is good to hear! She probably just feels better being with her uncle :)

Happy Friday everyone!!

Not too muich of a weekend planned which is fine with me. We might go to a friend's house to watch a little of the Super Bowl.

It is finally warming up a but here in CT and they are saying maybe some snow for Tues night into Wed we'll see!!

Have a great weekend!

Same here! After being housebound by the bug for three days, I got out for a walk in the sunshine after lunch. It's actually above freezing today!

The office where I work is making the Super Bowl more interesting. Many offices do "squares" where you pay for a square. But my office is doing "squares" and divided them up randomly among the employees. It didn't come out evenly, so everyone got two squares, and the names for the remaining squares were drawn from a hat. I'm one of those who got three squares!

I'll try to explain "squares." A grid of squares is created with the numbers 0 through 9 (randomly, not in numerical order) across the top and down the sides. Across represents the Seahawks, down represents the Broncos. A name is placed in each square. Say your name is on the square where 7 across and 4 down intersect. If the final score is Seahawks 7, Broncos 4, you're the winner. Where the score is over 9, you go by the last digit---in the example I gave, you'd be a winner for Seahawks 17, Broncos 14. Some offices will also give prizes for the score at the end of each quarter.

(If I gave impossible scores for examples, please excuse. I don't know ANYTHING about football.)
