Just My Rambling

The little one is sick AGAIN! So we decided to skip school and just hang out at home. It is amazing how much things get done when we are not running around town to different activities. It’s 11 am and I’ve already cleaned house, done a load of laundry, sorted out C’s artwork from school, pay some bills and even cooked chicken soup for lunch! Maybe I will even get around to cleaning up my office and clearing off the piles of paperwork that has been cluttering up my computer desks.  Hey, I might actually get to use my computer desks again instead of the dining table! This is really turning out to be a really fruitful day.

With all the snow and freezing temperature that we have been having this winter, I am so ready for spring and summer to get here. I am even ready to do some gardening for spring. The garden stores have already started selling perennials. I am planning to plant some of them in my flower bed. I wonder if I could plant some plum trees too since my little girl loves plum. Do they even grow well in our wet weather? Hmm, maybe I should find out more information before deciding whether to plant or not.

For the past 2 days, we have been waking up to a blanket of snow. We don’t have as much snow as the East Coast but I think we are having way too much snow days for this area. It has also been super cold which means we have been turning up the heater. Sigh, I guess we will be another expensive electric bill next month. Usually our electric bill triples in the winter. It is always very low in the summer since we don’t use heater and we don’t have air-conditioning. I wonder if it will be cheaper to get a heated blanket instead of turning up the heater to the whole house. I really should check into that.

We have been thinking about redoing our bathroom but I really think now is not the right time to be doing any renovations. I guess we will have to stick with our current bathroom for a while even though I don’t really like it. It is probably better to save the renovation money into our rainy day account instead. So for now, bye-bye to my Hansgrohe faucets and heated bathroom tiles. You will be kept on my wish list for a while longer.
