Catch up

I haven't written in a few days mainly because when I got off work last night I was way too tired. So I ended up going to bed at 9:30! That was nice. On Sunday I didn't do much of anything. I had planned to go to Walmart but I never made it. It was just way to cold. On Monday morning as I was ready to leave for work I remembered that Logan's carseat was in Aaron's car. So I head out to get it only to find that the doors were frozen shut. Just my luck! So I strap Logan into the regular seat (he normally just uses a booster). Yes I know I probably broke the law but I didn't have a choice. While at work I remembered that the other night the hatch was frozen so I was having to pop the glass door part on the hatch so I was thinking that might still open. So I try it and no luck...everything on the Explorer is frozen shut! So again this morning I had to leave without Logan in his booster but thankfully Heather said she had an extra I could use. I was ready to go buy one at Walmart but I really didn't want to go when it was -42. Yes it was freezing today and yesterday. I heard it was going to be -60 on Friday. I will be home all day if it is! My poor car doesn't know what to think of this weather. I had it plugged in at work today but even after letting it warm up for a while it was still freezing when I went to leave. I got the boys picked up and when we got home I was going to check the mail...just then the car started to act funny so I just drove straight into the garage. I'm hoping it was just really cold and I need gas and sometimes the gas can freeze if there isn't much in the tank. So hopefully the garage will thaw it all out and I can just head straight to the gas station in the morning. I'm crossing my fingers!

Logan ended up staying at Heather's on Monday. Her kids are home from school so she asked if he could stay and play. He loved it. He went to school today though. Lane on the other hand...was blue when I picked him up. Heather said she caught him trying to eat a blue marker so his hands and mouth are shaded blue. I think this one is going to be my handful! He has already proved to be quite the demanding little one!

I got some bad news tonight. My Granny, my real Dad's mom, was in a very bad car wreck. She is in ICU and not doing good at all. I really feel helpless because I feel like I should be doing something but there is nothing I can do from here. I hate living so far away from my family. Every since my Dad died I have drifted a lot further away from his side of my family and I hate that. I can't blame anyone other than myself for that but it hurts. I think about them all a lot and I'm sure they think I'm a horrible person but I'm awful at keeping in touch with everyone. I have to admit though it is hard for me to be around my Dad's family. His brothers, especially one of them, look just like him. And when I see him it almost brings me to tears. It just makes those old wounds feel fresh again. I really do love them all and hope that when we moved closer it will make everything easier for everyone to be together. My Granny and I have managed to talk from time to time. We have written to each other and called a few times but I haven't seen them all in forever. Well since before moving here. 2 years ago! Please keep her in your prayers. She has always been the backbone of that family and they all lean on her so much.

Aaron called this morning. He was doing good. He was just calling to check in since he had not been able to call in a few days. It was really nice to hear his voice even though it was only for a few minutes. I miss him so very much...has it been a year yet?!?!?!?!

Well Lane is in the floor shredding a piece of paper that he fished out of somewhere into a million different pieces. So before it gets any worse I'm going to close. One more day of the work week!!
