-5 at 1 o' clock?

Are you freaking kidding me? I mean, seriously? I am soooooooo stinking cold! It is -5 at 1 and I am pretty sure that I live in Illinois and not ALASKA! What the heck? My feet are freezing! And, because I don't like breathing hot air while I sleep, I had to sleep in a sweatshirt and pajama pants with long john's underneath! UGH! There is nothing worse than having to sleep in full gear! I even had two pairs of socks on! First thing this morning, I got up and turned the vent back on in my room! Did I mention that I have had the faucet running for a good 17 hours now? That's right, we had to turn it on early, because we live on a concrete slab and if the pipes freeze, someone will have to jackhammer up our entire kitchen!

How are the rest of you doing?

Anyone else froze to the ground?

Oh, and, I think I failed to mention that this wonderful weather has prompted a two-day and hopefully not 3 day school closing, which means my house is full of kids and everything that goes with them! It would be different if they were all calm and sweet natured all of the time, but come on! There are 6 full time kids and that means trouble--some time, some how, some way they will find it!

Have a great day!
