I can relate to so much in this post. I remember looking on the bottom of the screen when I was in school hoping that it was canceled! LOL. Funny my kids won't have that luxury since I'll be homeschooling. I plan to break things up and make it fun so hopefully they won't mind "school time." Snuggies are it! I would totally want one if we still lived in your kind of climate. Your cat is one of a kind.

But I too am thankful we don't have to use an outhouse. I'm headed to Ireland this May and one of the cutest places I've ever seen was going to be the place we stayed for two nights. Rock siding, country setting. Well, until I learned we had to go outside in the middle of the night to pee. It did not have inside plumbing. Boy was I bummed. Anyway, if this comment is already on your post somewhere and I'm just writing it again, please disregard. I can't believe what I wrote before isn't here.

Sometimes we find out about them the night before and then we just sleep until we wake up, about 7:45 - 8:00 AM. Bliss, to wake up naturally when it's light outside. If we find out in the morning, we just go back to bed and snuggle back down into sleep. Hey, just found your blog, I like your attitude.

We'...Cold toilet seats are THE WORST. I agree.<br /><br />We've had TONS of soup this winter...and still ots still planned on the upcoming menu. I love soup...it's cheap, it's easy and you can hide all sorts of stuff in it that the family may not otherwise eat. Par example: lima beans and cabbage. ;)<br /><br />Love me a bun warmer. The 12yo began riding in the front seat over the summer (once he turned 12 and was tall enough) so this is the first year he's experienced the beauty of the bun warmer. He'll choose to ride with me for that reason only. I feel so loved.<br /><br />I do have to disagree on the ice cream point..I do like some soft ice cream that is on the verge of soupy. That way it HAS to be eaten right away when I get home from the store...you can't wait until later for perfection. Don't judge. ;)Mrs. Always Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621796911952199649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-63482435397027117772014-02-08T15:05:14.654-06:002014-02-08T15:05:14.654-06:00I usually refer to the car seat heaters as "n...I usually refer to the car seat heaters as "nut cookers", as that's what they truly are :-) So cute little Ruby cuddling with you, and I bet snow days are the best.
