Get a jacket--it's fffffffreeeezing outside!

Today my neighbor called to inform me that Rachel's bus broke down on the way home from school. When I explained to Caitlin and Courtney that Rachel would be returning home a little later than usual, I suggested that the mechanical failure may have been caused by the extreme cold. Caitlin had a terrific idea to solve the problem! She said, "Mommy, they need to put a jacket on the bus." I said, "Don't worry. Rachel has a jacket. She won't get cold. I'm sure all the kids have coats with them." Caitlin answered, "No, Mommy! They need a jacket for the bus. Do they make jackets big enough for busses?" Yep, that would have done the trick, for sure! I thought it was a cute idea. And the good news is that Rachel made it home safely so all's well that ends well!

That is cute! I hope Rachel didn't get too cold. I haven't left my house since Tuesday. It is just too cold.

I'm dreading going to church just because I have to leave my warm house. Pretty pathetic, huh?

Call me about VT if you have a chance. Would Friday be the best day or does something work better for next week?

I think its funny that you have a fireplace on your blog but you don't use the one in your house.

It would be better to put a (b)log in your fireplace that a fireplace on your blog. hehe.

I know you have gas, but I had to go for the pun. That came out funnier than I expected. That, too!

It *is* ffffreezing. Of course, it's all relative. It was about 5here in MA, but -12 at my parents' in Vermont. It's a good reality check.:)
