I did call Jim at 4pm and asked ever so kindly that he come straight home from work and rescue me so that I could escape my house and screaming children.
I went to a Zumba class at the gym and then hit the yarn shop for open knitting night. That was fun, so there was a highlight to the day.
When I got back Lilly was still awake sick and miserable and then the carbon monoxide monitor started making weird noises so we had to turn off the coal stove that heats our house. Oh that's right, we have a coal stove that heats our house. Coal. That we (jim) shovel in and out day and night. We'll be lucky if we don't get black lung and or carbon monoxide poisoning before winters end.
So I start day 3 of my resolution sick, exhausted from another night of taking care of children, and a little defeated.
As soon as the sun comes up we are going to the closest town for serious retail therapy.

Sounds like you need chocolate.
Wait--you shovel coal into a fire to heat your house? Is your house in the boiler room of an ocean liner? Or on one of Sir Topham Hatt's very useful engines? I'm totally kidding. It's just a funny picture in my head. I appreciate your desire to be super positive for an entire month, but you're only human. Except that you became an expert knitter in what seems like one month, so maybe you're superhuman. Have a great day!
yes, it is exactly like the boiler room of an ocean liner, that picture is what it looks like. i try not to think about the fact that I have fire in my house all the time. then i have to pay $3 a can to have the ashes removed. pennsylvania. sigh. i really do hate february, maybe i should embrace it and not try to change who i really am??
Just one positive note... I wore the scarf you made me to work, and my bosses' boss stopped by my office specifically to check it out and admire it. So you could totally sell couture scarfs :)
