Goodness, today is so cold (by cold I mean -10 degrees!) that all the local school are canceled! I heard on the news that the wind chill is -30! That is nuts. You can get frost bite within minutes. I have put petroleum jelly on my roosters combs and wattles to help with them not getting nipped. (Some already had it) They all seemed fine with it except for Mr. Kellogg. He was rather upset with me for slathering a huge junk of jelly on his comb and wattles. He screamed and kicked and tried to peck me. (He did not win. ;) I did!) He will thank me for it later, probably around summer or so. LOL XD
We are ending the first semester in school today. Lex has already taken her semester test in math, I would say about a month ago. We are very close to doing the phonics test. Yesterday we had an easy day. WH did not have school so I decided to let her have an easy day. She really enjoyed it! We would work for about a half an hour then I would let her play for a half an hour.
Things seem to be going good. The economy may be down but Lucas is staying really busy with his work! We are going out to eat tomorrow with one of the guys from his work. I would like to go to Red Lobster, but we will probably get Mexican! LOL
I have been reading, or listening rather to books on CD. I started the Outlander series! It is such a wonderful series. The 1st book was 10 discs long, the 2nd was 9 discs long, the 3rd was 36 discs long!!!!! Each disc is just about an hour long!!!! Now the next book is only 5 discs! Crazy to go from a 36 disc to a 5 disc! Anyways there are still 3 more and the author (Diana Gabaldon) is in the process of writing another one!! She said that she has planned to release it in 2010. So I have to wait for an entire year to read it. I was on Diana's website and found that she has a jeweler that makes the ring that is in the very first book. I thought that the ring was beautiful. I told mom about it and she ordered it for me!! I about passed out. I can not wait to get it!!!! :D She said Happy Mother's Day....a little early! LOL :) I am really thankful for her getting it for me.
Well, I need to feed the chickens and get school started. I need to get into town here sometime. Maybe I should wait till it warms up. ;) You know till it is up to zero! XD Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Chareia :)
