We got a bit of white earlier today, now we are getting some wet on top of it (much to the kid's chagrin!).

Ron and I endured a bit of chilly waterbed syndrome over the week-end. Our waterbed heater seemed to give-up the ghost last Friday night. Being a holiday week-end, we were out of luck until Monday as far as replacement went. After locating and purchasing a new one, we realized that the heating pad had simply come unplugged from the temperature regulating unit. It is amazing how well it works when everything is all hooked up!!! It is so nice to climb between warm sheets again.

The kids are back in school as of today and life is quickly returning to normal. I continue to have sinus/ear issues with the cold the kids brought home for vacation, but it is manageable. While the kids were at school today, Ron and I tried a fish and chips place we had never been to before. We were pleasantly surprised and even delivered a cup of their clam chowder to Adam at work for his lunch. He only had one complaint when he got home. . ."there wasn't enough"!

I am now studying my How to be a Canadian book that Immigration has sent to me. In a few months, they should be getting back to me with a test date/time/place and I am hoping to be well prepared before then.

I guess that's all for today. . .
