No Snow Yet!

Even if I hadn't been keeping an eye on the weather I would know there's a change on the way. Or maybe it's the phase of the moon...who knows?! The moon thing comes from the principal where I student taught. He contended that since our bodies are roughly 70% water and the moon has enough effect on the earth to change the tides it must therefore also have some effect on our bodies. It's a pretty interesting point, to say the least. But I digress... Whether it's the weather or the moon, the natives around here are a little less than cooperative today.

They're still sick, so that could be the cause of some of the strife. We're all a little short on patience when we're not feeling the best. Thankfully, Doodle is much less puny (and not running fever) today. It's just a nasty cold at this point. One of the symptoms is apparently a nasty attitude as well. At the moment they are all picking up a living room-sized tent. They are NOT happy about it. It's already been a long day, and it doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon. Mama is going to have to have some quiet time by the time the day is over. I can just feel it! If that has to happen before bedtime there will be three little girls having quiet time in their rooms as well. That's not a bad idea, actually. Maybe we'll see if absence really does make the heart grow fonder. I'm not convinced yet! :) It is just amazing how quickly they can go from playing together and laughing to growling at each other and Hanny using the words "and that's FINAL!" Sounds like fun, doesn't it?! It actually is, most of the time. I'd be lying if I said I don't sometimes get a chuckle out of listening to them argue with each other! It's my ornery side coming out! :)

Now, we're going to have a good afternoon here...AND THAT'S FINAL! :)
