It's a COLD one!

WOW! -13 and a wind chill of -29.
This "should" be the end of the sub-zero crap.

Emily woke up at 7am with a head ache so bad she
could hardly move. Soar throat, head ache and fever.
Hummmmm, Strep? Sure sounds like it. I gave her
some Motrin and a cold drink of water an told her to go
back to sleep. I need my kids to all be healthy
at the same time in. 15 days till Mexico!

My sister-in-law Nicki is coming over this morning
to paint my laundry room/ garage entry. I am very
excited to have the Laura Ashley wall paper down
and make the room more "us". Nicki is so talented.
It's fun to watch her so effortlessly go to work and
transform a room in a matter of hours.

I had my main level carpets cleaned yesterday.
They look great, but all the moisture in the house
is on the windows and is now frozen. I'll have to
keep an eye on them.

This Saturday Pete and I are hosting a portion
of a neighborhood progressive dinner. We're having
a Mexican night. Serving tacos with all the fixings,
Spanish rice, refried beans etc. etc. and margaritas!
It looks like the weather is going to warm up some for us.
About 30 people are coming. We're looking forward to it.
Hopefully no one will spill on my carpet. :)

Now, on to Spice. 5 days till her due date.
Hopefully I will be able to keep her off the freshly
cleaned carpet as well. And hopefully she will not deliver
in the middle of the progressive dinner.
Here is a photo Susan took of the x-ray.
It looks like 4 or 5 kittens!

It's a little hard to see. Look for spines, skulls and legs.
It's really cool. (If you click on the image it will get bigger.)
I hope shes a good mommy and I hope I know what to do
as they start to come.

Well, keep warm everyone.
I must go wake up my healthy child and get her off to school.

Peace.
