Life at 7000 feet

Well, we're probably not going to reach the freezing mark today, but at least we can begin to thaw a little! I'm ready for some warmer air. Here's an interesting fact we heard on the news last night. Yesterday, it was WARMER on Pikes Peak (elev. 14,110 ft) than it was in Colorado Springs. Isn't that odd? The meteorologist called it temperature inversion, but I couldn't even begin to explain it to you!

The kids have a 2 hour delayed start this morning at school...which means no preschool for Abbey, and therefore no break for me! I was supposed to work in the library at their elementary school, but I wouldn't be much help with a three-year-old in tow, so I guess I'm off the hook.

We STILL don't have our Christmas tree up. In our fifteen years of marriage, I don't believe I've ever made it this far into December without our Christmas tree. Right now though, I'm at the mercy of UPS. I hope it comes today! We did do a little decorating yesterday while the kids were home, but the tree really makes it feel like Christmas. I also haven't done ANY shopping. I'm hoping Abbey has school next week because I really need that time to make a dent in my list. It will all get done, it will all get done, it will all get done. I keep repeating that to myself over and over...because it will all get done!
