Stuck In Snow

In keeping with our winter theme. This is quite funny. Today could have been a day like this little clip illustrates. I have been meditating upon waking this week and I have observed myself being a lot calmer than usual. I like it!

Achey, tired and crumbly

Thirteen week terms - how did they ever do this back in the day. I feel so exhausted I could crumble. Last night we had parent teacher interviews. They weren't late, but when I got home I just went to bed. I was cold and it felt the cold was coming from the inside.

Firelighters and shortcuts

Tonight I have spent so much time trying to light a fire because I wanted to do it in a hurry. I didn't get the things that I needed because I didn't have time to go back out to the shed to get some smaller peices of wood. I didn't have firelighters because I keep forgetting them everytime I go to the supermarket. Hence, trying to save time has taken me forever and now from all the billowing and frantic blowing on the dying little embers I have managed to create I am no longer needing a fire because I am quite hot.

I know it is silly and you have my permission to laugh at me.

Winter Naked Tree

If I think I am cold imagine how this poor tree must feel
It is so cold though. I don't feel motivated. The son's gland in his throat is so huge. I was listening to him breathe last night because I was scared the other side might get that big and there would be no channel for him to breathe through. He survived needless to say. I probably should take him to the doctors but he's already had penicillin twice this year and I don't think it is healthy. We've taken him about 4 times and had swabs and the blood tests for glandular fever. It is still happening though. I am going to make him rest and hopefully his body will find the resources to fight it once and for all.

Home fires burning

The cold weather has set in. I lit a fire tonight. I love a fire and I enjoy it once it's started but coming home to a cold house and having to collect wood and make a fire seems too much work when I am cold. It is also not good for the environment! I am going to have to find an alternative heating solution. We put jumpers on most of the time because we aren't home long enough to bother with a fire, which realistically is only viable if you are going to be home for a length of time. I am concerned that if we get a more convenient form of heating it will be overused. Decisions decisions!

Today both my children were unwell. Tom was collected early yesterday and stayed home today. Ash was collected early today. I am feeling a little ordinary also so I am really glad it is the weekend. I would like to stay in bed all weekend and read and eat chocolate. I have some movies to watch also. This is a fantasy because there are a few things I really have to do!
