Oh my goodness - winter has hit us hard! These past two days have been bitterly cold, too cold to even enjoy doing the fun winter activities like toboganning, making a snowman or a snowfort, or even outdoor skating! With the windchill, its hitting -27! Yep, kinda chilly. So I'll stay indoors for now till it warms up a bit. It better be warmer on Sunday - the gang's all getting together for some toboganning (and maybe some taboozaning), and I don't want the kids to be too cold!

I've tried not to complain about the winter that we've had so far, since it has been so mild. But I love the snow! And I'm glad that its here. But there's one thing that I HATE about this weather that I've never experienced till now... frozen pipes. Seems like the pipes going up to our bathroom decided to freeze and ice up. Not good at all. We've got the heat cranked right now and little heaters on the pipes to try to thaw them. Hopefully it will work, because I really don't want to have burst water pipes! Its just a waiting game now, so here's hoping that they don't burst :)

Chris had to go back to the doctors this week. The antibiotics that he was on weren't working, so he is now on another kind. I think they're working, because he slept through the night on Tuesday and Wednesday - the first time in weeks that he has slept right through! Then last night he decided that it was play time around 2:30 or so... yep, I was up with him till almost 5am because he was all hyper and wanted to play and talk! Its nice to see him like this again though, so I'm not going to complain about my lack of sleep either!

Prison Break is back! I love it! Just when you think that they're going to run out of storylines and plot twists and turns, they come up with some crazy crap! Kellerman is getting to be a very interesting character, and Mahone didn't die! How insane is that?! I was also surprised by the number of people who were killed in this episode - wow! And just one more Prison Break thought... where is Doc Sarah?!?!

Joey got a "cool kid" award at school the other day. He was one of the first kids to be completely ready and dressed to go outside at the end of the day, so he got a little certificate for it! He was so proud of himself, and I was really proud of him too. Its so amazing how little things like that can motivate a child. Maybe I need to give him cool kid awards at home to get him to do things - it takes him 5 hours to get ready for school in the morning!

Work is going well. I'm learning new stuff, and actually enjoying it! I have to say that I really do like where I work, there's only 1 or 2 things that I'd change. I'll leave it at that :)

Mmmmmm, not much more has been happening this week. And I've rambled on enough for tonight. Now I'm going to go and watch a movie and keep an eye on these pipes to make sure they're defrosting - cross your fingers, eyes and toes for me!
