OMGosh it's cold here!! We're having record lows.

I HATE cold weather. Seriously.

That's why I live in the south!!

Getting up and getting the kids back to school has been

so much harder due to the low 20 degree weather

I've had to drag everyone out in the last 2 days!

I guess I'm glad we're actually having a winter, but

**********BBBRRRRRR**********

We are considering getting a dog. I must be crazy.

CRAZY I TELL YOU.

We actually went to the Mobile SPCA on Saturday and

met the sweetest doggie ever. We are discussing going

back and getting him, but he's so timid I'm afraid our

household would just be torture for him! We did decide

that we weren't going to pay for another expensive breed

cause that hasn't worked out so well for us in the past,

so we've been scouring petfinder.com for a shelter dog.

On a sad note, a local family lost their 10 month old when she

fell in the tub after her sister got out. Apparently the tub wasn't

drained and by the time her mom found her it was too late.

I found out later that her dad is someone I have known all my

life, but haven't seen in years. I am brokenhearted for this

family. We have been very strict about the bathroom since

Jacob was about 13 months and a friend of a friend lost a 14 month

old who fell head first in the toilet. After that we have been

insistant that the bathroom doors stay shut at all times,

and when the little ones get big enough to open the doors

by themselves we put door knob covers on. I never even

thought about that stuff when the older girls were little, and

it's scary to think about how quickly something like that

can happen. Please say a quick prayer for this family.

I hope everyone is enjoying the first week of 2010. It's been

crazy and COLD here, but we're getting back into the swing

of things, which is always a relief. Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm going to go put my new Shark mop to good use!!

And yes, I do realize it's not Christmas anymore!!

I am currently working on a new background!! :)

TTFN,
