The kids did not go to school today because our wind chills were in the -30's. They are off tomorrow too for the same reason. Monday is Martin Luther King Day. So that makes 5 days in a row they have off school. Just kill me now!
Needless to say I don't get much done with them in the house. Even though they are 16, 15 and 11 it still makes more work for me. Essentially I make them get their own lunches, as they never all want the same thing, but it is a continual battle to get them to put stuff away, to help me out with my daily chores (I am sure hubby is laughing at that one, "what chores?") or to even help in any small way.
Today I didn't do much of anything really. I played on the web, I drew a few things in my moleskine, and took a nap (sleeping is getting harder for me since I have the sniffles). Yesterday I started a crochet purse and I am winging it, I will show a picture when it is done. I was thinking I might write the pattern but I have never done that before and I am not sure if I can. I have some fleece that I am making into toys/beds for the rats. They are very warm bodied and need to stay all huddled up and they love their blankies.
I have to go out in the cold in a little while and get milk. We could go without but then I would have to get some tomorrow anyway. Easier to get it tonight and have some for the morning. We easily go through a gallon a day. With the kids home I am sure more.
So that is my day today. Hopefully I will get more done tomorrow.
