"I'm Freezing!"

Sure, we thought it was warm.  At 4 degrees and slightly longer days, I was actually looking for buds on the trees today.  And then I remembered.  I decided that by April there will be some signs of spring and that's only 2 months away.  Mentioned this to another mother at school pick up and she laughed--"try May!"  Oh. 

I was home sick with Greta today.  My attendance record at school is starting to really go in the toilet.  There's a part of me that's OK with that.  Why am I working so hard to memorize which prepositions go with which verbs?  I can already get by and I've got no hope of working here, so what's the point?  Anyhoo, Greta was sick with fever and coughing on Sunday and that's continued today.  I thought she was a lot better--playing Polly Pockets and all--until it was time to go out to get Emery from school.  She cried for blocks because she didn't have her mittens.  How could this possibly be resolved, you ask?  Couldn't go back, so instead I carried her 35 lbs (?) all the way to the S Bahn, up the stairs, down the stairs, etc.  Kid's getting big.

So I haven't been doing many blog updates lately.  Mostly because life has gotten far more routine and dull so there's less to say.  Also have joined facebook which I've found is taking a bit of time.  So question to the family--you still reading this or should I drop it?
