The inlaws are off to warmer climes on this frigid morning. The early morning temps with the wind chill was minus thirty five, so it may require some driving of the plane, a small delay, but one that happens after it has been boarded, not before. I thought they wanted to be at the airport at least two hours before take off, but they didn’t turn up here to collect me until that time had come & gone. Wasn’t expecting the medical emergency on the departures on ramp either, so with any luck they can check their bags, get through security, and find their gates in time to not get left behind! I was up, dressed and ready to leave before seven am, so I could have slept for another forty minutes if I’d known they were going to leave it so late to head out this morning.
I am however tired, and am deciding on whether or not I should go back to bed. Or perhaps I’ll have a nap before the Super Bowl festivities start. I thought we were going to stay home to watch it, quietly, by ourselves, but it sounds as though we are expected to swing by the inlaws house to watch some of it there. I don’t know if my sister in law was hoping to get all the kids together to play this afternoon, because it’s so cold outside there’s no point in trying to do a park/farm run in these unforgiving temperatures. I don’t know. I’m more than happy to park my butt on my couch and not move much this evening.
The youngest had a sleep over with her best friend (which is still ongoing) so the kids are entertaining themselves this morning. It’s nice when they get a little more independent and no longer rely on us to entertain them full time. Not that I never want to play with them, as I’m usually fine for some video games, board games, or a fun wrestle in the living room as a tag team pair against both kids. I’m solid for a tussle if they need to learn to fight, or escape capture! But I don’t need to host every single thing like I did when they were newborns up until the age of five or six. I love Bluey, but it can be a bit much.
I need to eat, and maybe get back to my book. I’m 1/4 of the way through it, hasn’t bested me yet!
