Some numbers to mull over...

-30 Farenheit.

2 feet of snow

1 Xbox 360

2 Xbox remotes

3 active children under the age of 10 (for 1 more month, at least!)

3 more days off of school in which to entertain 3 active children under age 10

6 loads of dirty laundry

2 phones with uncharged batteries

0 adults to talk to

7 doors that are presently being opened and shut in some door closing game

30 fingers with the potential for getting slammed in said 7 doors




Hope your weekend is as grand as mine is surely going to be!

Only 6 loads of laundry? LOL

Sanity vibes headed your way.

Stopped reading at 6 loads. I have 6 loads and it is 60 degrees here. Lord help me. I better get my ass in gear.

I feel your pain. My 10 yo claimed it was 18 out, said they could wait for the bus outside. I made him come back in when I checked for myself and saw the minus!

No outside recess at school. No outside play at home. No way I'm picking up friends to add to the chaos. We will all wallow in our misery, and pray for a warming trend!!

Duct taping them up might be an option. ; )

ACK! Cold weather stinks on so many levels. It creates a domino effect of dismay.

1 closet to lock yourself in, 2 hands with which to beat yourself about the head with 2 frying pans...1 good weekend.

I hope the weather lets up soon! Good luck!

What # glasses of wine when everyone is bed for the night?? I thought our 4 degrees Farenheit (before the wind chill factor) was bad. Good luck!

WOW! You rock! My wonderful dishwasher just went on the fritz again. Got one wash after the repair guy was here yesterday. Lord. I think the pipe may be frozen this time.

Stay warm! I think you guys are way worse than what we've got here, and we're freezing our butts off.

Yikes. Can I just say, I could not live where you live. I could not DO a winter like that. The coldest it gets here is about 5 deg Celsius (not sure what that is in Farenheit, but nowhere near -30).

I definitely agree that a number of glasses of wine should be added to that list - to enjoy at the end of your very long day!

I just checked the conversion. So, our coldest winter temp of 5 deg C is 41 deg F! I cannot even *fathom* how cold you must be!!

Ooh! Xbox360?
Can we come over ;)

Gettysburg Mom said...

Can you hide in the laundry room with a bottle of something to keep you warm?

Becky said...

Thank the good Lord for Nintendo is all I have to say...!

We had 17 for our low yesterday. Not sure I want to ever find about the negatives.

I'll pray for you. You are going to need it. And vodka. Be sure to pick some up at the grocery store and don't be shy to crack while you are still shopping...

:)

I feel your laundry pain,,,,,I so feel it!

Yeah, SlowMo is so ready to get back to school after 2 days off and a late start on Wednesday. I'm so ready for all this weather to JUST GO AWAY ALREADY! ugh.

Tonya said...

Hope your weekend is going good and you got those loads of laundry done :)

CC said...

These numbers add up poorly. Very, very poorly :(

Alex Elliot said...
