If you put a spoon under your pillow long enough...

....winter might really finally arrive! 

We hope. It's a sad winter when we can't even walk out to see the ice fishermen on the lake (I keep imagining a bunch of sad ice fishermen with the new fishing tools they got for Christmas, checking their ten day forecasts on the weather channel. hoping), when the local ski competitions have to be postponed until March, when the kids are playing in the sandbox everyday and when the new boots have yet to make it out of the entryway. 

We need snow.

I've picked up Wendy from school two days in a row now with a fever. We need the cold to kill the darn bugs. 

------

She's going to try again today - she's been waking up without a fever and it climbs during the day. I'm hoping to make it to Krogers before today's phone call.  (I'm not pessimistic, but realistic. Or resigned)

I just put a bun in her hair.  Mark (nearly 5) says, "Wendy! You look just like a tornado!!!"

She was not pleased.

I sent my girl to school in a bun today too! Must be the "thing" at this age! (she's almost 12 and in 6th grade)
