and it's a balmy 0 degrees outside- up from 10 below this morning! Yippee! Sounds like playing outside weather to me! And we're going to get more snow- which we *desperately* need. Really. Honest. Actually, I'm a little afraid to start my seeds, only to see them wither and die when I'm unable to plant them because of the remaining 18 inches of snow we're going to have in July. H and I are going to take the kids to the dump this morning (to dump recycling, not kids- no matter how crazy they may be making us) and then to run around at the gym in order to burn off the energy that they *won't* be burning outside due to the encroaching ice age. Imagine I'll head home this afternoon in order to welcome the returning TMOTH, fresh from his conquest of the looming peaks of New Mexico. Or Utah. Or wherever. Doesn't matter so long as he's coming home to relieve me of the responsibility of keeping my children and myself alive singlehandedly. (Case in point, Harry just informed me that his brain has a rash. Where does someone pick up a rash like that? Sounds like poor mental hygiene to me.)
