Baby, it's cold outside!

Can it be any colder outside? Wait a minute, it can. The news said that it was going to be a low tonight of 22 deg. I believe it.
It is Tuesday night and I am sitting here in front of the fire watching Biggest Loser. The kids are blissfully in bed and I have the TV all to myself. My weekend was pretty uneventful. Keith and I did get to go out Friday night, all alone. This is a rare delight. I love my children, but I like to get away every now and then as well. We went to the hospital to see Deborah and the bambino, and then to O'Charleys for dinner. Saturday we got up and went to Sam's Club. I really hate that place, but it does save money and they have the best steaks around, period! We looked at the toys and the Christmas decorations. I think Ethan went to sleep thinking that Sunday would be Christmas morning. He got up and asked me where his presents were. That was hard to explain. Sunday was quiet, in fact, I didn't even get dressed until around 2 pm. We will go back to Church this Sunday. I have been trying to keep Sarah away from crowds while she is still recovering.
Today, Sarah and I went to Deb's house to help with the baby. Both Kevin and Deborah are so nervous and unsure about their capabilities as parents. I assured them that is very normal for new parents, but they are doing fine. I helped Deb give the baby a bath, and she didn't even need me. I was however the best support giver a friend could have. Grace is a beautiful baby and I am so glad for Deb and Kevin. They deserve it.
I will close for now. There is some hot chocolate in the pantry with my name on it.
