Is it cold enough for you?
I personally love cold weather! I have a dream (all it will ever be) of living somewhere that gets really cold....like Montana. To think of snow for months instead of maybe hours is just mind boggling. We hauled another load of firewood today. Even though its not that cold here in the south we still need a lot of wood in this drafty old house. At least the new well is doing great and the water has not frozen up yet. I think we wrapped those pipes very well. that was a rough week! We did learn a few things though......we've been doing the Prairie primer with the younger kids and had just finished The Long Winter.....one of the questions the girls had was what did they do about going to the bathroom? So we took this "opportunity" to learn about outhouses and composting toilets. We tried a composting toilet and it actually wasn't too bad! The older teens and dh though just absolutely refused to even try it. They'd rather drive to the store or a friend's or wait until work they said. That's fine for them....but can you imagine having to take 4 children out every time one of them needed to go to the bathroom? And one of them potty training? they thought the composting toilet was neat.....especially the boys. It had one very big advantage too....no clogged toilet lines! If you have kids you know what I mean. Oh the things we've had to get out of those lines......lets just say Ivory soap doesn't always float!
In all though the last few weeks have been good. I'm in a major slump as far as getting school done though. I am just not motivated.....I think I have adult add! Seriously! I start on something and before I can finish it I'm off to do something else. Please tell me its a mom thing! |

I randomly tagged you for a silly game on my blog (I was just tagged for it, too). If you have time, stop on over!
