It's officially cold. I had to scrape the frost off the car this morning to take our 7th grader to school. My neighbor didn't have any frost on her car. She jokingly told me I had parked the car the wrong way. Maybe we need some trees...We are trying to keep warm. There is a lot involved in this process. We have closed up certain parts of the house and are using ceramic heaters. The issue is that we have oil heat which is very expensive, so we are all chipping in our chattering teeth to make due. Night time has us all bundled under down, in between flannel. Day time has us drinking hot drinks all day and using those microwavable heating pads to keep warm. We actually feel very spirited wearing around our UGA heating pad or cute wearing around the fuzzy dog heating pad. Maybe it will be a new fashion statement. I am telling myself that we can keep learning-our brains are well insulated and they are not frozen. It is only going to get colder! And from an time efficiency standpoint, it takes so long to get dressed-and dress eveyone else! Where, oh, where, do I find the time to deal with the cold?!

The upside of this global warming everyone says is imminent, you'll be able to save a lot of money every winter! In the meantime, stay warm! Bless you guys.
'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' There's something about forced asceticism that makes you appreciate simpler pleasures--like being warm, for instance! Hope you're able to make it work through the winter.
...and I thought our little "cold" snap was cold! Snuggle lots and I will try to get some Jittery Joe's sent your way!
wait a minute...you are actually using a microwave!?! You must really be cold! I hope you keep warm up there.
