• Last night I said that I thought that maybe I could have walked early in the morning-well, I decided this morning that nah, I would just walk later today. I'm sure you won't be surprised that I didn't get around to that afternoon walk today.
• We did our school work early this morning. I had to leave for lunch so there was a bit of scrambling to get as much done as we could before I left. I only had to work with Campbell and Whitman, of course, when I came home.
• School was a bit crazy today because of the weather too. Yes, there may be snow Thursday, but my people were already on the look out for it today. They even did see a few snow flurries which caused a huge commotion. 
• Reagan was gone for a bit of the morning because she was at a job interview for this summer. When she came home, we had to hear all of the details, and then I hurried off for lunch. During lunch, Layne explained all of our wedding duties, and afterwards I met Robby to get gas.
• When I drove into the driveway on this day (high of 29), the big boys were playing basketball. One was dressed appropriately, and one didn't even have a shirt on. Sometimes I think that we are doing a good job with our parenting, and other times I am not so sure.
• After we finished school this afternoon, Robby took a few kids to eat supper. While they were gone, I spent the entire time learning how to crochet. I received a little animal to crochet for Christmas, and I think that I might have the hang of it. However, I kind of messed up, so I want to start over, but I stopped today when the dinner goers walked back in. That is when I realized that I hadn't moved off of the couch.
• Robby and I then took one car to drop off-it is making a sound so hopefully, it is a quick and inexpensive fix. Then we picked up the real supper for today-indian food. We bought butter chicken, chicken tikki masala, and paneer tiki masala. Robby got the spice level as medium-each time he looked at me as if to ask if that was ok. I assumed he was thinking of getting it spicier-no, he was worried that it would be too spicy.
• And he was right! It was incredibly spicy-I'll probably take a bottle of tums tonight! I'm not sure how Graham ate any of it since he is so sensitive to anything spicy. It was still good, but it was certainly spicy.
• I just finished one book, and now I'm going to get myself some hot chocolate!
