It is COLD!

Well, Mario wrapped the pipes really well last night so our pipes didn't freeze again. But we have no gas, therefore, no heat. Zach camped out in our room with the space heater and a sleeping bag. The other kids just slept with heating blankets in their rooms. I woke up to 65 degrees in my room and 58 degrees in the rest of the house. So, I am boiling water to wash dishes and to take sponge baths. Then I am leaving the house for a good part of the day to warm up. It may be several days before we get heat back, but at least it is supposed to start warming up this next week.

I am glad Erin and I are in the middle of reading the Anne of Green Gable books. It is hard to feel sorry for ourselves when we still have water and electric. Those people a century ago would laugh at us now for complaining.
