I'm sure it is the Goodbye he's angry about, but I had to make a decision about when to do it, and couldn't wait until he came home from school for that day. It seemed more important to get it over with before we had to go through another cycle of the IV, or to let him feel worse for another entire day before I took him in. Once you realize the time is here, it's so hard to make them wait.

We may get a little snow overnight. Despite the fact that this seems like a colder longer winter than many we've had, I need to keep going in the sun room and get my flats out and seeds planted. My neighbor across the street tells me that if you wait until Easter to plant your tomatoes then you'll have better luck. And last year the ones I planted earlier had to be replaced because they got frost bit and the soil was too cold for them. I'd like to have some bedding plants of various sorts ready in the house this year for planting.

I did a couple of big loads of laundry this week, and got caught up on the pots and pans in the kitchen. It's too late to start stew, but I'll have to think of some hearty cold weather dinner for tonight.
