Layne brought this poem home from school the other day. I think it suits what our weather has been like for the last couple of days, although today was nicer! He was so proud of himself because he was able to read the whole thing to the other kids in his reading club.

I am freezing! I am freezing!


I am absolutely cold,

I am shivering and shaking

like a pudding in a mold.

There are glaciers in my stomach,

there is sleet inside my bones,

I am colder than the contents

of a million ice cream cones.



I am freezing! I am freezing!

From my bottom to my top,

all my teeth are clacking madly

and I cannot make them stop.

Oh I cannot feel my fingers,

and I cannot feel my toes,

now my cheeks are frozen solid,

and I think I’ve lost my nose.



I am freezing! I am freezing!

Inside out and outside in,

every bit of me is chilly,

every single inch of skin,

I have icicles inside me

and my lips are turning blue,

and I’m sneezing as I’m freezing,

for I’ve caught a cold . . .

AHCHOOOOOOOOOO!

On another note both Brenden and Logan have been sick this week. I have been home with one of them everyday this week. They both did fine today, they seem to be on the mend so tomorrow they get to go to Dee Dee's house so that I can go to school and take 2 timed tests for my online classes. My sister is coming up this weekend so we can celebrate her birthday (which is today and I just had to rub in the fact that while she is turning 31, I am still in my 20's! Then she not so gently reminded me that was only for another few months :( ) so I want to get all my homework done so I don't have to worry about it. I won't have time to do any homework next week because I will be at Simle Middle School every morning from 8:30-11:45. Ahhhhh! I need to find 5 meals that I can make in the crock pot!
