Boy, we have a ban of cold air sitting on top of us. Now that it's done raining, we do have the sunshine, but now the freezing temps. I am not fond. This morning, I had to get up early and take the dear children to school--and I didn't want to go outside. The family I am helping out likes to keep the house cold like Mom and Dad. It was hard to get out of bed this morning....I went to feel the heaters and none of them were on. I turned the knob and nothing happend. They must have them set on a timer. Grrrr! I couldn't wait to get out of the house and into the warm car, and then home--where the heat was going to be on.
Eric is braving the cold today and walked to the gym, about a 12 min walk. I give him credit---for not growing up in the cold---he sure is being brave. He knows how to layer his clothes---three layers of pants, three for shirts, a coat, scarf, hat and mittens. Believe it or not, I can still see him.
Off to get the kids in a few mins. Their mother comes back tomorrow---:) Thank goodness. They are missing her. I dropped one off at school this morning, she was fine...but the little boy clung to me at day care. He goes to a French day care, and one of his teachers speak English a little, so I told her that Mom is gone---and he is missing mom. Just 2.5 hours with the little ones today until Dad gets home.
Better get going. Drinking my last cup of coffee, so I will make it thru the afternoon....

I'm Terrible...
I can't believe it has been such a long time since I've logged in. Where do the days go?
Nothing new nor exciting is happening. It has been a very long three weeks. We have seen nothing but rain, and more rain. I was tired of my feet alway being wet, so I went and purchased a pair of rain boots! I can't stand wet feet--now I am ok with going out in the rain. Although, haven't ventured out much. This past weekend in out little town, they set up a lot of booths for a Christmas Market---it wasn't such a great turn out as it rained all weekend. There is a huge Chirstmas Market in Luxembourg City. We've gone twice, and bought a few things, and tried some traditional food. We still need to make it back to try this hot wine, with spices mixed in it. Everyone is just nutz over it.
Two more weeks and then we are headed to Germany for Christmas. It will be nice to get away and do something different. We'll head down on the 23rd, and stay until the 27th! I am excited for that! Cross you fingers there is a tiny bit of snow. We then come back, for a short three days, for a basketball tournament and then we are off again. We are headed to Switzerland for New Year's! I am thrilled to go. Neither of us have been there before, and Eric wants so badly to try and snowboard. He has been talking about this since the summer months. I don't think he has realized in order to snowboard you need to have snow and snow lands on the roads, and we will be driving up in the mts. I haven't told him yet. We are stuck, as he has never driven in snow before, and I have don't know how to drive a stick, let alone drive it in snow. Hope there isn't a big storm while we are there. Maybe we should look into renting an automatic and then I can drive us. LOL!
I hope all is well with everyone!
