I'm so proud of my boys. We didn't have any volunteers to help us, so we ended up working the Salvation Army bell ringing shift ourselves. The weather has been colder than we're used to, but we bundled up and rang at the kettle. Near the end, we were getting frozen noses and frozen toes, but we kept each other company and it was a blessing to have 2 hours of conversation with my children. We tried to warm up by meeting DH for pizza and ranch fries. It didn't work and I wonder if its because people don't understand how a vestibule is suppose to work. Vestibules are designed to help keep the warm air inside. You are only suppose to have one set of doors open at a time. You don't open the outside door and open the inside door at the same time. If that means you have to wait for everyone to enter the vestibule, then you wait. We kept feeling the cold drafts as we tried to enjoy our supper.
I cranked the heat on the way home but I still couldn't get warm. I slept last night with my cuddle duds under my PJs! I don't know why this year it feels colder than normal. All we want to do is curl up under blankies.
I threw on the oven and baked a batch of cookies hoping the oven would help warm up the house. I'm drinking tea and curling up with Yumi but I'm afraid I'm just not ready for winter.

I totally agree Dawn, it is colder this year or at least earlier. I am not ready for temps to fall into the teens like they have been. I love the beauty of winter snow but prefer the warmer temps
I think it's great your kids wanted to help you today by ringing the bell. It's a wonderful way to share time together. :) I'm sorry it got so cold. :( It seems when you get cold to the bone it's hard to get super warm. I think I'd be doing as you are and enjoying a hot cup of tea to warm my insides and hope the heat rises to the surface. lol
It's been really cold here too. I don't remember having to put the heat on this much this early last year. Brrrrr! Stay warm!
It's STILL cold here!! When is summer in Australia???
