A Rainy Day

Well it was a little icy this morning so school got off to a slow start. Nate had brought home a bunch of fire wood the night before, and told me to get the boys to haul it in this morning. They cried and complained about going out into the cold rain and doing work until they realized there were icesicles all over the place, then I couldn't get them to come in until they were frozen. I had to holler outside a couple of times when I saw them eating ice off the trash cans. (yuck) I had made yummy bean soup with ham the night before so we heated that up for lunch. Austin said he actually liked it, but Evan and Luke said it was good only once. I have been walking around on my tip toes today (literally) trying to build up my calf muscles. My ankles and calves are fattening up even as I write. I can't even come close to closing my fingers around my ankles, and I don't want to hear any back talk about my being skinny. I know I am fairly skinny but nobody likes to see their body morph before their eyes, so I'm trying to remember to jump in place and walk on tip toes lots everyday. I do need to get some curtains for my family room if I'm going to keep this up, the house next door can look right into my kitchen and family room.
