Baby, it's cold outside...

I hate to keep repeating my dismay with the weather, but DAMN it's cold outside.  If it ever gets above freezing again, I think I will run around in shorts it will feel so warm.  It's not so bad if it's just adults dealing with it, but getting all the kids all bundled up like the little brother Randy in A Christmas Story is a major pain in the backside.  And now I lost a mitten of Haley's.  Do I have a spare pair?  Can't find any small enough in this house (remember, when the kids were this size, Aaron was POSITIVE we were done having kids, so I didn't really hold on to much).  So I thought, well surely I can find some when out doing my weekly shopping, right?  No.  Even though our temperatures are barely even double digits with windchills plunging to dangerous levels, there are bathing suits and shorts now adorning the stores.  Well, maybe a nice bikini set will keep her little fingers safe from frostbite, ya think?

But on a happier note, while we were shopping, we got to meet and get a signature from Chicago Bear Rod Wilson (59).  Not all that bad to look at, and he was a really nice guy.  The girls were with me, and he thought it was really cute how Haley was giving me a high five and a belly bounce when I said "Touchdown!"  And when she even sees the Bears C or the Bears head, she starts getting excited.  His comment was he was glad to see us starting them out young!  Hey, when you have to go grocery shopping, there's nothing better than running into a Chicago Bears linebacker...even if his career hasn't been especially impressive so far.  When he hits it even bigger, I have his signature!  ;-)

Other news?  Anna Nicole Smith dies suddenly after she has a baby, and her son dies unexpectedly.  An astronaut goes mad, prompting the screening process of the mental health of astronauts (see, I never would have made it).  People are still afraid to eat spinach.  Some places in New York had over 100 inches of snow.  Who will be our next presidential nominees?  While waiting for the school bus to drop off the kids, I watched a coyote casually walk down the street and duck in to an open garage when a car was approaching.  Michelle Duggar is pregnant again, with #17?  Will the Cubs suck again this year?  Hmm, well, I guess things sitting here at my computer in the kitchen aren't really all that exciting in the big picture, now are they?  ;-)

Well, here's something cute for you to enjoy.  Don't be afraid to click on the link, it's 100% kid friendly and safe for all eyes.  Don't worry, I wouldn't lie on my own blog.

Now I must go outside to get the mail in the -10 degree windchill...
