Brrrrrrr...and poop

There are currently 440 school and church cancellations and delays for central Indiana. Why? Because it's so freaking cold! Some areas of the state got several inches of snow. Notsomuch here. But it is crazy cold and crazy windy here.

Thankfully, my school is on that list! That's right, my friends. I get an extra 2 hours in the morning. Oh, how I love a 2-hour delay.

Now keep your fingers crossed that Little Miss doesn't stay up sick all night. She complained all day long at daycare about her stomach hurting. She didn't eat ANY of her lunch. Those of you who actually know her know that she must be very, very sick.

She spent most of the evening on the couch until she walked up to me, stuck her finger in my face and said, "I have poop juice on my finger." Grrreat.

She had diarrhea about 3 times in the toilet. That doesn't count the poop juice on the finger or the diarrhea in the bathtub. Seriously. It also doesn't include the diarrhea that is currently on Farm Guy's pillow. She was, unfortunately, sitting on his pillow while watching TV and got a little poop juice on the pillow as well.

So basically I am up to my ears in poop juice and really hoping she sleeps all night and doesn't suddenly start projectile vomiting. Or worse. I did make her wear a Pull-Up tonight because the poop juice was beyond her control. She was totally annoyed with the Pull-Up but got over it quickly. Thankfully.

Wish me luck that I can sleep through the night with no bodily fluids to worry about and that I can enjoy my first 2-hour delay of the season!

It's officially cold...

and I LOVE it. The high today was 37 and it's supposed to get down to 22 tonight! There have even been flurries the past few days. Woo hoo! I love winter and everything that comes with it. One of my favorite things about winter is being able to curl up in a sweatshirt and jammie pants, and still be comfortable enough to cuddle up under a blanket.

I love baking cookies and drinking hot cocoa. Well, the kids and husband drink the hot cocoa...I have coffee.

I don't do a lot of decorating for Christmas, but I love putting out all my snowmen around the house. I am looking forward to getting help decorating the tree this year. We have a tall (9ft), skinny-ish artificial tree that goes in the corner of the living room. We always put it up the weekend of Thanksgiving. I love having it up early, but I take it down the day or two right after Christmas. Once it's over...it's over.

We don't put outdoor lights up, but I LOVE driving around looking at the lights. We have already found a few houses with lights up!

I love playing in the snow with the kids and watching the guys drive the tractor around shoveling snow from the driveway.

Then there's a little something called Christmas Break! As much as I love teaching and going to work everyday, those 2 weeks off are so fantastic. It's a great time to relax after the holidays, get some bargains at after Christmas sales, and just chill out with the fam.

What's your favorite thing about winter? The snow? The tree? The fact that it will be over soon?!
