I think we are in a deep freeze...

I can't believe it is this cold outside. We are at 10 degrees right now with the wind-chill -4. I have not ventured out of the house except to check the mail in a few days. I don't know what is going to happen when I have to go to work on Monday. Culture shock on several fronts....1). the cold, 2) I have to get up earlier then I have been, 3) I have payroll week coming up - my rough week.
Alayna lost 2 teeth this morning. We knew the one was ready to fall out, but was surprised when she came downstairs with two of them. I guess the tooth fairy will have to get a second job if they keep falling out in multiples. Alayna is so excited to see the tooth fairy. She wants to stay awake to give her a hug, but I told her that the tooth fairy waits and if she doesn't go to sleep then the tooth fairy will go to the next house.
Right now Tom, Alayna, and I are playing Wii. We are trying to wear Alayna out and I think we are getting close since it is after 10. I really like the Wii because it brings together the family and gets us up off our tushes and moving. We have a lot of fun with it. When we were at Tom's parents house they had a game that involved racing cows. They had a blast with it. I guess we are going to have to buy it. I want to buy a fairy one for Alayna.
About my scrapbook saga. If I got paid $100 for each page I have completed since I have been off I would be getting about $3,000 right now. I have done 30 pages and I still have 70 to go to make my goal of 100 pages before I go back to work. I don't see that happening since I only have one more day before I go back to work.
Mom has been searching all the recipes that we have to find at least one new recipe a week - a resolution that mom and I made together. We are tired of the same old stand-bys, so we are looking for something new. I am not sure how the family will take this new adventure, but we are looking for anything that will help.
I better close and head towards bed. I slept for 11 hours straight last night - totally our of character for me. I usually am awake by 6, but not this morning. I don't know what got into me. I think Monday will come way too fast!
