What in the Sam Hill is this, RC?
Fake news? Are you drunk? (https://www.facebook.com/fox9kmsp/videos/wind-chills/339017510031260/) It is actually going to be this cold here in the upper Midwest. Every single public school district in the Minneapolis metro is canceled today, which is a lot of schools. You live in Texas, their idea of cold is 20 degrees.
It’s a nightmare here.... I’m praying for to find shelter. Police stations have opened up warning centers, and they are asking for more people to do so. They are packing shelters to the bursting point. We are in Illinois for the record.
What's wrong with staying in your own house?Croix/quid/judith, homeless people. They need shelter. Not homeowners or those lucky enough to have a place to call home.
Never "get on the train" (never give up your own autonomy and allow yourself to be disarmed because another place, or the "authorities", are "looking out for your well being").

The word homeless was missed. You’re right.
But this cold is not a “don’t get on the train situation anyway”. Let’s not make God’s weather a conspiracy.
"Ignore this is fake news."It was 6 degrees above 0 where my son is in Ohio yesterday. "Not fake news."

The air literally hurts your face right now. I went out for two seconds... they are saying to not let kids be out longer then four minutes, and to put them right into a heated car if you are going somewhere. It’s extremely dangerous for them..My two toddlers have been crying for the swing set. They don't understand that I won't let them out for their own good. :( We're holding out until Thursday. Getting a little stir crazy in here!
So, we are practicing our homemaking skills, and working on American history, English, reading, and most importantly memorizing our prayers.
A cold front blew in last night -- we had really high winds where we live.Wow, your high is more than a hundred degrees warmer than what it is here (after you factor in the windchill).
Now it's 37 degrees and it's only going to make it up to 53 today! And tonight it's going down to 37.
Brrrr!
(I'm in Texas by the way, and I'm joking here...I know these temps aren't cold. I'm from Illinois so I know what real cold is)

Yay! Homeschooling. I knew you'd cave in! :cheers:Haha! Well, My husband is still against the idea, but I won’t waste the time God has given me. I asked for more time with the children. And God delivered ;)
It's 104 here today at 15.12.

Getting a little stir crazy in here!What I do when my kids are being unreasonable like that: I give them a sample. Let them go outside for 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or whatever is safe/reasonable. That way, they'll appreciate the indoors as they should. Believe me, staying inside will soon be THEIR idea! hahaha

Even for much older kids, this works for the classic "it's too hot in here" in the summer and "it's too cold in here" in the winter. You have to recalibrate their sensors. Nothing like a sample of 32 degrees to make you appreciate a 67 degree home. And as uncomfortable as a dry 82 degrees (air conditioned home) might be, a humid 99 outdoors feels much worse. But you have to venture outside for a few seconds to get that recalibration/reality check.

Mum, I'm bored!
Well, darling, you can wash that 20 kilo bag of potatoes over there.

My kids only ever got bored once in a lifetime.We learned real quick to never say, or even let on that we were bored when we were kids - because that meant doing the dishes, pulling weeds, cleaning toilets, washing windows, vacuuming, sweeping, or whatever else popped into my mom or dad's mind to take away our boredom! God, how I miss my parents!
