Good morning!
I'm up and at it after several days of doing nearly nothing due to having a really bad cold. I am finally on the mend and have lots to catch up on. Unfortunately, our electric company is doing some upgrade work today in our area so our electricity will be off from 9:30 til about 4:30. We were told the work could be finished earlier but to plan on no electricity til 4:30.
So I've got bread in the machine so we can have lunch; I'm working on my February menu so I can go grocery shopping this afternoon. I've got a load of clothes to wash and that will probably be all I have time to get done before the power is turned off.
I have the twins today (unless their dad tells me the one boy still has an ear infection). I'm thinking if the weather is good enough I may take them to a local park. Or maybe we'll just spend the time outside in the yard.
It's been a really strange winter. We had some little snowstorms that left an inch or so of snow that melted quickly before Christmas. On Christmas we got a pretty good snowstorm and the snow lasted about 4 days. Since then, no snow. We've had rain, which is great, but when you're used to snowy winters, it's weird. I worry about this summer's water.
Anyway, it's warmed up quite a lot so I may get outside and start cleaning up and making a list of the repairs we need to do around the place. That'll make the boys happy.
I've got a whole list of little jobs that can be done that don't require electricity (except for light!) so we'll see how the day goes and how much I can get done with the light that comes in through the windows. All our windows are on the east and west sides of the house so we'll see.
Have a good day!
Merilee
