Small town living....
Yesterday, our pipes froze, I called a plumber, who refered me to a city employee, to request to have my meter checked. The city employee, who happens to be the son of the lady who won't sell us the land around our house, informed me, after I only told him my name, that the house I live in is notorious for frozen pipes.
Today, at church, someone told me they were going to send me a post card, with some information about a youth program on it, she pointed in the direction of my home, with only knowing my face, and asked "You live in the house right up there right?"
Small towns.

Jared and I watch Wife Swap, and Trading Spouces, and discuss what kind of lady would come into our home. What kind of lady am I, and what is the exact opposite. I determined, the new mom, would ban video games. Then, what would my cute boys stare mindlessly at the t.v. for? Without video games, that would look pretty silly. Caleb would complain into the camera, about how aweful the NEW mom is. She probably would also serve more fruits, veggies, and MEAT! She might clean the house too, that wouldn't be so bad.
Today, I sent the kids to school. Jared gave them a ride for the first time ever. It was a snow day. Who knew? So, we drove Jonas into school, 20 miles away, because he didn't have a snow day, only the school that was 2 1/2 blocks away was canceled. Perhaps, a bit of Irony there.
I determined that Dagny is a stinky dog, so we gave her a "dry" bath. The kids rubbed baking soda all over her. Much better. When the weather warms up, she can have a real bath.

Jared is away in Wichita. I have set it up, so the kids can type to him, and he can watch their reaction via webcam. They enjoy the webcam.
Alex stayed home sick today, with a terrible headache. I think he is missing his dad, and wasn't in the mood for school, had stayed up late too many days in a row, and it all just built up into a huge headace.
Alex asked me today, why dying was invented. And, what would happen to him and his brothers if Jared and I died. I tried to assure him, that is nothing for him to worry about, we are surrounded by loving family that would take care of them.

Said by Caleb, to Jared:
"Dad, thanks for marrying Mom so I could have brothers. And so I could exist."

Jonas told me, that he was so hungry, he was about to pop. He got a new Raider's shirt. He tells me that it is not a "T-shirt" it is a "football shirt".
Alex started step one of his science fair project last night. Caleb told him, that a project on Mount St. Helens is MUCH more likely to win than a project about a plant that goes through a maze.

Today was Jonas' night to go to the basketball game with Jared. He was looking forward to getting popcorn, and that is about it. Watching the game, is just what you do while waiting for the popcorn.
