As Of Late

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Some people have been asking what's up. It has been pretty busy lately. Not so much in the sense of our own adgendas but in that there are those who have needed extra assistance, and it seems that is one of our areas of specialty.
It has been ridiculously cold. Last week friday I had kept my daughter home from school. When I checked the weather that morning it was minus forty-eight. There was absolutely no way I could get her there without frostbite setting in so we hunkered down at home instead. Now we have gone from those temperatures to minus nine today. Good grief. I sense another round of flus and colds coming on. To be honest it is the tourists I feel particularly badly for. They must be beside themselves this year.
My daughter was invited to a classmate's bithday party this weekend. A little boy from kindergarten is turning six on Sunday and they are all going bowling. All we're required to is to drop them off and then we can leave. That's great, let's face it us parents do not want to have to sit through it. It's bad enough to do it when it's for our kid's birthday party. So to be absolved of that is an added bonus. But it'll be nice for the kids not to have their parents hanging around them also. This is an interesting age where they are beginning to seperate themselves from us in an attempt to gain more independence. It's a necessary evil but sometimes I am left to wonder who the alien lifeform is who has taken over my beautiful baby.
I'm going to make this one short I'm afraid. We have skating tonight and we'll be leaving shortly. Until next time.
