the weather here is ridiculous. it is sunny and warm every afternoon, freezing and dry every night, and then it snows a couple inches in the morning. repeat cycle.

come to think of it, there is an equally ridiculous pattern in the children's behavior. they come home exhausted from daycare, eat a huge snack, throw a tantrum because they're not hungry for dinner, get locked outside for two minutes, eat enough to get dessert, and go to bed. i've never gotten up early enough to join them for breakfast, but every morning we hear the kids crying in the dining room, then the crying increases in volume as the child is locked outside for a few minutes (we sleep in a trailer in the yard, so we get woken up at this point), and is let back inside for another eat-your-porridge battle. the kids are then trucked off to daycare. repeat cycle.

among other cycles, the disease special of this week is... pinkeye for me, and burps-that-smell-like-farts for my husband! YAY! i can't wait to see what next week holds.
