It's too cold here and it's only 20. My heat pump isn't switching over to the backup heat for some reason, so the house dropped into the low 60s. I woke up curled in a ball clutching the covers around me and now I have a crick in my neck. And my diamond shoes are too tight. (Considering that there are people who have to be outside, whining about the fact that I had to get up and manually turn on the backup heat is definitely a first-world whine.)

vw, did you notice my tag? The room you stayed in is now completely white. So now I guess I need a Scary Little Girl to replace the Scary Unicorns.

Hee! I didn't notice the tag. I sure hope you take lots of pictures of the house after you get it painted. I have to see it!

Need me to pose for the Scary Little Girl??

Oh, I'd love to! But, I don't think it's gonna happen. School starts again next week, and I'm gonna be crazy with three classes.

Timelies. Hope everyone is well. I dragged my butt into work today, and am seeing how this goes. Whee.....

Cashmere, you know how I said putting Annabel in a sleep sack prevented her from pulling up in the crib?

I was wrong.

She's a clever girl. I knew she'd find a way. I think Owen's figured out how to fall back on his rump. Re: bedtime--O's been going in waves. Sometimes he's easy to get to sleep and sometimes not. Sometimes he'll sleep solidly through the night, sometimes not. I find the unpredictability more frustrating than anything else.

There is a giant snot monster living in my head. It's 3 degrees here and not supposed to break 20 all day. I don't think we're leaving the house.

Timelies all!

Dani is probably leading the race to the bottom of the thermometer, but it is -33C/-27F here this morning. One of my colleagues said the one good thing about the temperature was that his kids were quiet on the way in for a change, no fighting in the back of the car when it is this cold.

I have a nice pile of blankets on my bed and was very very tempted to just stay there a little longer, like say, until March.

Here it's been 30 one day and 60 the next. I enjoy the warm bits, but the 30 degree swing every other day is killing me.

The highs this weekend were only in the teens. It was so cold that my windshield washer fluid on my car froze before it had a chance to clean the window.
