Cold and
long, those are the two words to describe this winter. It has been unbearably
bitterly cold all winter. January stayed below freezing and most of the time in
the teens or lower. This whole week has been in the low teens some days not even into the double digits. Most mornings when Luke goes off to school,
it is well into the negatives. It is so cold you just want to stay indoors and
never leave your house. What does the cold bring on?... sickness. I am guessing
because everyone is inside so much, germs are being spread easier. Sunday, Luke
was hot with fever and sick. Turns out he had a respiratory virus and double
ear infection. Two days later Jake woke up with a bright red eye and had pink
eye. His eye was so red, it became red and swollen around his eye. Two trips to
the doctor in one week. We have had so much sickness this winter. Its too cold
for the well guys to do anything to our water, so we haven’t had our horses
here for almost 2 months. The arena heaters have condensation on them and are
not working. Another result of the cold and sickness is Luke staying home a
lot. There have been late starts because of the cold. So, that mean’t a little
homeschooling for Luke. On late start mornings or days home, he would do a few
worksheets, read, and play some ipad learning games. It was nice to have him
home. Jayden liked helping with his school work. He kept her company in her room. She keeps tabs on what he is doing. They are quite the buds.
