COLD!

Today is the type of day where you just want to stay inside wrapped up in a warm and fuzzy blanket with some hot chocolate and look outside at the snow blowing everywhere and be grateful that you're inside and not outside. Unfortunately I'm almost out of diapers again... that means I have to go to the store... I just can't go without diapers. I packed up my diaper bag, put my baby in his car seat and went outside to get all of the snow off my car. Not two minutes was I out there before I hurried back inside unable to feel my fingers. Very little snow was actually removed from my car. Every attempt I would make to brush snow off was met with wind blowing the snow everywhere including my face and into my jacket and up my sleeves. After I git back inside I checked the outside temperature. 6 degrees. I have no idea what the wind chill was, but I'll bet it was much lower. Heather reassured me that she would call Tejay and have him get me some diapers on his way home from work... but I think I just heard him get home, so I guess there goes that option. Sounds like I'm going to have to make another attempt at going to the store a little later. I think I need to buy more diapers at a time, so I don't have to go get more diapers so often. I bought 80 diapers, you'd think that would last a while. All well. I guess I better try again before it starts getting dark and gets even colder. Maybe this time I will try wearing some gloves.

It takes a village to raise a child

I'm reading a book for my class called "Boys Adrift" by Leonard Sax. I'm getting close to the end of the book, and as I've been reading I've been fearing for my sons a bit. This book is all about how more and more recently boys tend to lose motivation and are content to live with their parent's until they're 30, playing video games and doing little else. It talked about how the education system has been changing in recent years and how in many cases it tends to disengage boys from school. Lots of smart boys just stop caring about school and call it "stupid" and just stop trying while instead they put more and more effort into video games. Of course, these trends don't apply to all boys, but it seems to be happening more and more. Girls are starting to fall into this pattern too, but not nearly to the extent that boys are. He tried to guess as to some of the reasons why this might be. There is a whole chapter just about how c...
