We had one of those unexpected snows that comes seemingly past time. But there the coldness was with it’s feels like 3 degrees. I’d rather wait the two days until we’re back in decent territory than try to force myself to walk in these conditions. So I went back inside and jumped on the mini trampoline that lives under our bed. I’ve thought about spending the several hundred dollars for one with bungee cords instead of springs but I truly know better. The Walmart one works just fine.

The boys are on spring break and had a morning of sleeping in, as did I. I’d been up in the night but fell back asleep and did not feel a need to get up until well after 9. I told everyone my plan for the morning was to work on my class. The boys played chess and probably watched a Youtube video or two, though I never came out and had to tell them to turn them off. My youngest asked if he also was on break and I told him sure. The week before with his brother here he still did school.

We went to the grocery store today. We go back and forth on who’s leading the charge and most familiar with the list. This time it was his turn, not by any sort of formal agreement. It mostly just depends on whether or not I do it, which today I did not. He had his own ideas to get green food coloring to make St. Patrick’s Day milkshakes with the giant gallon of vanilla ice cream. My class turned into most of the day. I had to remember some things and see if any of it still worked.
