Baby its Cold out here!!!!!!!!!

Just when you think winter is not so bad.....wham.....mother nature comes in for the kill.
I don't think I have ever been in colder weather in my life before.
Just went through my second day of "high temp of -28" This is friggin CRAZY weather. I think with the wind chill....and there was a wind today it was -45. I walked Caitlyn from the car into school and I had the worst ice cream headache ever and it was only my eyes showing on my face. I would have worn sunglasses but it was still dark out, and I may have slipped and fallen on some ice patch that had not been de iced (too cold for salt to melt ice) Caitlyn starts school bright and early at 8am....lucky me huh? I didn't take her on Monday....I thought with it being around -40 out at 8am what mother in her right mind would take a child to school. I guess everyone does....at least here in Calgary. They do not close schools really for anything. I talked to my cousin and she remembers the last "snow day" being back in 1997!!!! I did not grow up on the prairies which makes me very naive about these things. The schools were open...I thought they must be crazy. In Ontario we would be having 3 days off school. Not here....no not here...
I am not in Ontario any more....not in Ontario anymore....not in Ontario anymore.....I must keep reminding myself of that. No snow days here in Calgary!!!! No snow plows either.....that is another whole story in itself.
Can I make it through another day? I hope so!!!!!
