COLD!!!

Man, it's been COLD! School was cancelled for just about every district in town for the last two days. Monday afternoon a cold front moved in, and dropped the temperatures a TON! So, the girls and I stayed home all day Tuesday, I watched the outdoor temp all day and the highest it got was -7. BRR!! Wednesday was cold, but not as cold, but it was still around 0 degrees all day. We got very little snow with this system, school was really closed for the temperatures only!

Pipes were bursting all over town due to the cold. My friends the P's had 4 leaks! Thankfully the plumber that we used over the summer put them on high priority and was out there fixing the pipes early yesterday morning. (Thank you Z's for the recommendation a long time ago!)

School was finally back in session today! (YEA!!!!!!) I had a ton of errands to run, so once I dropped Courtney off at school I took Kasey to Children's Playroom and dropped her off. It's still cold, so I didn't want to be dragging Kasey around on my errands with me.

From there I went to the grocery store. I walked in and was thinking 'man, it's COLD in here!' Then I found out while I was checking out that they too had pipe problems, and they were working to fix their broken gas pipe. So, indeed the store did not have heat! No wonder I was so cold! Beauty Brands had people in working on their pipes too. Last night the news said that every plumber in town was booked up for days! I am glad we knew one who doesn't advertise!

Then I finished running my errands and went home. I think the temp was up to 27! A heat wave from 2 days ago! Funny thing is that last Friday it was in the 60's, so we went and had a picnic at the park! And here we are, not even a week later, freezing our tushies off!

We really made an effort to stay home and inside the last few days. I did have to take the girls out yesterday afternoon, Courtney had PT and OT. So, we had to go out and brave it a bit. We also went out for dinner for Hubby's b-day. It was 2 degrees on the way to dinner and -4 on the way home.

And of course all these above temps mentioned are the air temps, they don't include the wind chill! Tuesday the windchill was down in the -40 to -60 degree range. Way to cold!

This upcoming weekend is Mom's Weekend Away! It's finally here! I can't wait! It's going to be a good time. I have a few more things to do on the computer tonight and I should be ready.

Tonight the P's are coming over for dinner and Hubby is going to make his famous Smoke Alarm Steaks! I can't wait! It's been quite some time since we've had them! Well, I have a ton of things to do, so I better run! Hope everyone is well!
