The Ebay Socks Update

Just got my order for 25 pairs of socks today. They are excellent quality. Very soft, thick and warm, I was actually suprised.

I was expecting dollar store quality...but these are 100% better.

Total price ending up being about $25 including shipping.

Also I've noticed on the auctions that you might not get the same brand of socks everytime.

Oh, The Weather Outside is frightful....

Pickles was attacked by a snow drift.













Daisy jumped head first into a drift.

And Since There's No Place To Go....

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow !

It's been 30 years since we had our last blizzard and lo and behold we've got an almost-blizzard this weekend. The snow looks absolutely beautiful. I'll take some pictures later. (I have to find my camera) There's about 10-12 inches in our area with some nice 2 and 3 foot snow drifts.

The kids are itching to get out in it.

Last night the kids did arts and crafts in the kitchen. Later today I might pull out some board games.

This looks like a day for just relaxing and watching the snow fall.

SOCKS !!!

With four kids in my house you know how hard it is to find/keep socks.

I found an e-bayer that sells SOCKS !! In bulk ! (we're talking 36 pairs of socks with a starting bid of $5.97 !!!) I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself.

You know you've been a mom too long when the thought of bulk socks gets you excited at 7:50 am.

And I'm off to win some auctions. :c)

Feeling Better

Except for a cough, I feel pretty good. Thanks Kimmie for the home remedy suggestion, I'll remember it next time someone in the house gets sick.

Last night was Parent Teacher Conferences for the little kids. They are doing well. Pinky is experiencing some tween cattiness. The third grade girls have started bickering and gossiping about each other and are disrupting the classroom. There's also a boy who seems to be the cause of a lot of the drama. the teacher asked me what I thought, I suggested some team-building activities (having the girls do a project together that would promote co-operation and teamwork). She said she'd give it some consideration.

Anything has to be better than sending them to detention.

Have You Seen My Lung ? (Day Two)

I actually feel better today. My throat still hurts and I probably coughed up my other lung last night, but other than that I feel much better.
I am fever free and I can breathe out both nostrils.

The only thing helping the sore throat is hot tea with lemon and honey.

So I'm just sitting around watching the snow fall and trying to relax and recover.

Have You Seen My Lung ? (Day One)

I'm sick.

Of course, you know mommies are not allowed to be sick. Things have to be done and NO ONE else knows how to do anything.

I feel like someone took a weed whacker to the inside of my throat.

And don't even get me started about the cough. Sometime last night I'm pretty sure I coughed up a lung.

I spent the entire day just laying around. Trying not to do anything.

I did end up having to toss a pot roast in the slow cooker. But I didn't really even want to do that.

'Cole and Pickles braved the cold weather and walked to the store to get some lemons, honey and apple juice for me.

I've been disinfected everything, trying to keep the rest of the family from getting it. So far so good.
