Whiplash

March is an ugly month. Snow melting, mud everywhere, slush, turning back to ice, everything is brown. Yuck. But, yesterday was a hint of things to come. Temps got up to nearly 60. Ahhh. Saturday was around 40 as well, so I took the chance to scrap off the remaining ice on the driveway. Yesterday then, I got the booster seats put into the truck. (A back seat in a 4-door truck, what a concept!) Hanna wanted to go for a ride yesterday, but alas, had to wait till I took them to Sue's house this morning. So, John and Hanna had fun climbing around the bed of the truck.

John got on his rain boots and rain coat, and proceeded to head straight for all the water. He got his mittens utterly soaked.

But, as quickly as that warm day came, it is gone again. Temps are back down in the 20s for most of this week probably. Argh.

My school groups meets yet again tonight. Shouldn't have to meet again this week, though. There's a talk on Science and Religion Wednesday night that I might like to go to. Will have to see if the Lord High Spousal Overunit is agreeable.

Last night we all sat down and watched Cinderella. It's a rather unsatisfying ending though, in that we never see the wicked stepmother and stepsisters get their comeuppance. I mean, they treat poor Cinderella like dirt, and they never suffer any consequences, as they should in this kind of morality tale. The worst that happens is that the stepsisters don't get to marry the prince, but every one else in the land suffered that fate as well. There should be an added scene where the stepmother and stepsisters are thrown out of the house and are forced to live as maidservants, doing all the work they made Cinderella do.
