Walking in a winter wonderland...

Finally, my actual purchase of my snow boots has not been in vain. Last winter season did not yield much snow like this winter season has. Today we supposed to get a minimum of 5". The max is somewhere around 10". Maybe I can post a picture tomorrow. Regardless it was well spent 29.99 at Target. They're kind of heavy but in the end it's worth it (especially while waiting 30+ minutes for the bus). I think the only thing that bothers me about the weather is how to control the heat in my house. Especially in the bedroom. We have one vent that will blast out the heat which is great except it gets really hot then I'm sweating bullets! Yesterday was especially bad. It went from extreme hot to extreme cold, it's a miracle I didn't catch pneumonia.

Can I just say what a relief it's payday today? Seriously, these two and 1/2 weeks of waiting is brutal. I missed when Walo was working. He was paid on a weekly basis so there no need to stretch out money for a long period of time. Did it teach us to save and spend our money wiser? Of course not. We were so bad with money. Now that Walo's been back in Mexico for nearly four years money does get tight. But we're doing much better with our money management. Well at least 90% of the time :).

Right about now I usually call my mom to get my "Aaron in School" update. I find on the days that I'm too busy and I can't call is when Aaron decides to be badder then bad. For those who know him know what a sweet, lovable boy he is. Super polite, easy going and friends with everyone. But there are times when I don't know what is going through his mind when he acts like a brat. As I hang up the phone the "report" is so so. The teacher said he was spitting (or drooling) on the carpet. Luckily grandma can discipline him on the spot. It's harder for me to do since it's probably another 5 more hours before I see him. And with their short term memory it doesn't do me any good to yell when I get home. He probably forgot!
