Since the weather has been so nice, I really have been tempted to dig out the outdoor cushions and all my other outside patio furniture. It’s actually good I didn’t as when I woke up this morning I was once again faced with a blanket of snow. But, over the weekend I was awfully tempting. We only have about a month left of winter, so I think I can wait. But with all the nice weather we’ve been having lately, it has really got me in the mood to head outdoors.
Finally after two bitterly cold weeks, it looks like things are warming up! Right now it looks like the temperatures will warm up past the freezing mark all week. This is excellent news. Yes, we are supposed to get a little bit of snow. But, if I had my choice (which normally I don’t), I would take the snow over the cold any day. So hopefully the weatherman is accurate and we will be a little bit warmer in our little corner of the world for a while.
For over a year now our daughter has been bugging us to purchase her a cell phone. Well after months of discussions, her father and I decided to look at some prepaid cell phones for her. We found one that we liked, that was pretty reasonably priced and got her one for Christmas. Well… she was so happy. With the phone she got, she got free minutes. We told her that when the minutes were gone, we would not rush out and purchase her a new phone card right away.
Well she blew through all her minutes in less than a month. So… now she has to wait for a new phone card. Hopefully this will teach her a little lesson. We do plan on purchasing her a new phone card soon. I guess then we will see how fast she blows through these minutes and see if she learned her lesson.
Well I thought I got my youngest son all better. Yesterday I sent him back to school (after being home for a week) and he seemed to make out just fine. Well…. he woke up this morning with a stomach ache and a fever. So this means he’s home once again. He’s only in grade 4 and is having no real problems in school so this isn’t a real big deal. But I just feel so bad for him. Oh well, maybe a quite day at home laying around will do the trick and maybe he will be okay to go back to school tomorrow.
Last week I got a nice surprise from my outside job. I have been employed there for 10 years and my employers decided to give me something pretty nice, to show they appreciate all the work I’ve done over the past ten years. They gave me a gift certificate for iphone accessories and I couldn’t be more pleased. Very surprised, but very pleased. It’s pretty nice that after 10 years they have shown me that they do appreciate all my hard work. Things like this, just wants to make me work a little bit harder. So a great surprise!
