Brrr..........

Been busy this week!  I was expecting to be offered some overtime, but we had just about as much as we wanted this week!  That's okay.  We haven't had any for awhile, so I worked my butt off.   If I'd realized I'd be putting in so many hours, though, I would have prepped some meals over the weekend.   Thomas has had a bad cold all week (but worked, anyway!) and hasn't felt much like cooking, and I've been late, so the poor kids have had to either fend for themselves or take what we've felt like whipping up at night.

This weekend I'm going to plan out some menus and put some meals in the freezer, because I've already committed to working overtime next week as well. 

I can handle the disclaimer that AOL has attached to our journals.  Makes me feel much better about the ads.

It has been getting very cold here!  Got down in the twenties last night.  And it's only 37 degrees right now.  We had some sleet earlier in the afternoon and yesterday there were a few flurries, but nothing sticking.  I have a feeling that snow is coming though.  It's gray and cold and the sky just looks like snow, you know?  Thomas went hunting, of course (first day of muzzleloader season), even though he has a cold.   (We have to keep our priorities straight, after all. )  I was feeling a little achy yesterday at work, so on my lunch break I bought a half gallon of orange juice at Kroger and drank it all during the afternoon.  I feel pretty good today.  I'm getting ready to have a cup of tea and curl up with a good book.  (After I catch up on some journals!)

I'll probably be back a little later!

Hope all is going well with your hectic work schedule!  Wish I was organized enough to plan ahead like that.  -  Barbara

I was 12 years old in 1978.  Just the right age to enjoy those snow drifts (Breckinridge County) and being off from school for two weeks. My husband was 18 in '78 and would run down the city streets full speed and then slide for several yards.  And he had a friend who lived in the country who ice-skated on the streets for two miles to his girlfriends' house!  Ah, what memories!
