What have I been doing the last four days? Taking care of sick kids. Laura and Adam are doing better today. School was cancelled today b/c of the low temp. something about the walkers and the busses. i guess people don't know how to bundle up. they've already cancelled school for tomorrow.

We're on a waiting list right now to get the gas well swabbed. So for the next week and a half we're using kerosene heaters and conserving the gas. Don't worry, the house is drafty enough to keep it ventilated. we're not using the basement right now. its too hard to keep warm. so we're using the main floor for now. it's not "my home" but it does have a dishwasher.

I don't write everyday b/c i don't think there's much to write about. so i'm going to try and pay attention better to the smaller things that happen. here's what i thought of for today:

it started saturday. i sat on a chair in the livingroom and when i got up i realized there was something "wet" (actually kinda sticky) on the chair. i washed my pants off right away, . well today i emptied a garbage bag out that matt's sister brought last FRIDAY w/ some hand-me-downs for adam. as i got to the bottom i smelled one of the sickest smells- spoiled raw meat. i immediately remembered the bag sitting in the same chair that i sat in on saturday. they forgot they put meat in that bag. GROSS!! i hope i didn't gross you out. at least you didn't have to smell it.

well, we will see what happens tomorrow.
