It is cold! We are not going to get our gas turned back on, to heat th house. Right now, it is about 27 degrees F outside. We have a fireplace, and electric fireplace, a space heater, and a kerosene heater. Still cold, LOL Not sure if the kerosene, wood, and lectric is any cheaper than the gas bill would be, but at least it is spreading the money around so more people beneift from it's purchase.
I am working at Walmart, as a cashier, now. I love it, especially now at Christmas time. We are very busy busy busy. There was a long and winding line back to electronics Friday morning at 5 a.m., but I thought our store handled it all pretty well. for the money some of the customers were saving during the sale, you would think some of them could have been a little nicer, but I guess you always get those bad eggs no matter where you work, when in a customer oriented business. The majority of the people that went through my line were in a good mood and very nice, even though the stupid debit machine was on overload and mine wasn't working right, we got through it.
Kendra got cast for new braces yesterday. They will be light blue, with butterflies all over them. Pretty cool, and much nicer than plain ordinary white ones. She hasn't worn her braces for over a year. We feel that with her balance issues lately, they could only help. Speaking of balance, Kendra fell last night, and split her head open again. We didn't go for stitches this time, as it was not gaping like the previous times. Just a cut on her head that stopped bleeding pretty quickly. She took some ibuprofen, watched tv for an hour, and went to bed (and I kept checking on her hourly for a few hours). She is not doing very well with her cane, as she keeps tripping herself, or swinging it wide. It is rather pointless, as long as no one will make her walk slow eough, and remind her when to put the cane forward. I seem to be the only one that will do that.
Austin got all As and Bs on his report card, except for the C- in gym (for not taking his gym clohtes). GPA 3.17, not bad. Kendra got 2 Bs and 2 Os (for outstanding). I think she got a c in math, but can't remember. Drew and Kelsi both have As and Bs in all 5 of their classes, but everything except the midterm and final exams, and their essays, is open book. So, all in all, our kids are prtty much average. Guess I can't complain about that.
