Temps are really going to fall off the table today. It started out in the low 20s this morning, but within a few hours, winds are going to howl, and temps will get down to below zero tonight. Brr. And I'm supposed to have orchestra practice tonight. Ick. The cold weather really affects the violin.

And, of course, I have another sore throat. Argh, what a nuisance. Rhonda cut my hair the other day, so I don't know if going out in the cold weather without a hat did me in, or if I caught what the kids have.

Watched some of the State of the Union address last night. I liked Bush's comments on our national security, but he lost me in the domestic section. I wish these speeches weren't such a laundary list of goodies the government is going to dole out. It just seemed silly that the President was talking about eliminating steroid use in athletes, after the far more serious discussion about terrorism.

Putting John in the car this morning, he said "I'm freezing", and I said "yeah, it's cold, brrr shiver." He just thought that was so funny, and giggled, and kept wanting me to say "brrr shiver". So I kinda shook my head when I said it, and that made him laugh even more.

Lately Hanna will say "Silly Daddy" if I make her laugh. And she then likes to say "Silly Mommy. Silly John. Silly Hanna."
