Busy Days!

Turns out it is very hard to keep up on blogging when your husband works from home and needs the computer all day!  We are keeping busy and warm...for the most part.  Our furnace recently broke around 9am on a Monday morning...and Simon was leaving for work for 3 days at 5 am on Tuesday morning.  Not great timing!  We had a new system put in on Tuesday, but it wasn't able to run until around 4pm.  So no heat from Monday morning to Tuesday afternoon made for a very cold house!  I was kind of jealous that Caelin got to go to co-op for a few hours (after a delayed start b/c of low temps), at least she got to be warm!  Other than that, we survived our 3 days without daddy but were sure glad to see him when he got home!  I think poor Connor has only been to preschool twice since mid December!  After Christmas break, he has missed two weeks worth because it is just so stinkin' cold!  Speaking of cold...I now regret agreeing to potty the neighbor's dog.  Sure, its easy money and all fun and games when the weather is nice.  But right now?  Yeah.  Not worth it.  AT ALL.  Especially because I'm pretty sure that dog could hold it all day.  So that is a brief update.  Surviving the cold and Simon's work travels, trying to get back into the swing of 'school' after Christmas break (poor homeschoolers' don't get snow days or shortened days for cold temps) thinking about school options for next year, oh...and we started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.  So we're supposed to budget and stuff.  We already try to budget, but I think this is going to take it to a whole different level.  Probably to a level where I need to actually stick to the budget.
