Okay... It's been freaking cold.

I can't get over how cold it's been the past couple of days. Today, it actually went above 0 degrees. I've had to go in to work early the past two days, and at 6:30 AM it's been -10 degrees. Overnight windchills have been as low as -40!!! Unreal!

The school district cancelled classes both Thursday and Friday. Same deal in my hometown, so my mom was out of school for two days, too. Hopefully she caught up on some much needed rest.
Fortunately Alex's daycare stays open on days like this. Many daycares close, which is something I don't understand. Isn't that a time when parents really need you?

We have bundled up, snuggled under the down throws and the down comforter, layered up with turtlenecks and sweatshirts. I'm going to make some hot cocoa tonight and hopefully the three of us will watch a movie. This cold weather is for the birds... oh WAIT! Even the birds had enough sense to fly south for the winter. I think they're on to something...

Honey I'm in the south and it's cold here too! The lake behind my house is frozen this morning. We did have some geese in it but I think the went somewhere else.

I really feel for you all up north where the freezing cold is UNreal. I live way south and it is usually mild this time of year. The last 2 nights its been below freezing. I am ready for tomorrow, when the high will be in the 60's.

Stay warm :D

Brrrr!!! I feel for you! I do! I've been avoiding flying throught midwest. If I do go east I head through southern states. Stay warm chickie!

It is very cold here too compared to what it should be. Staying snuggled up at home is the best thing. I had a cup of hot cocoa for lunch the other day because I just could not get warm. It definitely helped!
