Good morning, all. It warmed up overnight to the mid-30s. Going all the way up to 47* today! I’m hoping that’s warm enough to break the ice off the car.
If the driveway thaws, I may just head into town to see if I can find that genealogy library. Time for something other than the seed catalogs.

About time to do another post about genealogy?
Just checked the weather, and we have no real warmup in our immediate future. It will be above freezing this afternoon for a while (34*), which is better than nothing.
Correction: It will be 39* tomorrow afternoon – and raining. Hope it doesn’t turn to ice.

I’d love a post about genealogy. My ancestors were some really awesome patriots!
I’m so amazed at how few generations it’s taken to go from so many God fearing war veterans and determined patriots to so many lazy, liberal losers in the next couple generations
Oh, and it’s 56 degrees at 5pm. Amazing for this time in January.

I think I’m going to face the wrath of my daughter. She has a Dr. appointment and I’m watching the baby.
Since our wood stove is getting a break, I decided it was a good time to clean the doors on it. The baby was playing in the floor in his own world with his fire trucks and horses. I was carrying a pot of hot water and spilled the entire thing in the floor and slipped out, “S*it!”
Oops, he wasn’t so much in his own world and started yelling, Sit over and over and laughing. The more I told him we don’t say that word it’s a bad word, the more he said it and laughed. So I tried ignoring it and that hasn’t worked either. Now he’s yelling it at his firetruck.
Mom is going to be home in about 30 minutes, let’s hope he gets bored with the new word by then.
I guess I could lie and say I was telling the dog to sit and he’s just saying that. 🙂
BTW good morning Stella!

He’s not saying it over and over anymore.
Although his mommy dropped her keys and he said, “Sit!” She asked me, “did he just say s*it?” I confessed and she laughed.
She told me she kind of started it because the other morning he had a really stinky diaper and about the time she started changing it his daddy called and she picked up and told him she’d have to call him back because she had to change his son and his s*it stinks really bad.
She said then as she was changing him she kept saying, Shoo-ee you stink and he started saying, “soo-sit.”

When my son was in first grade and they were walking to recess or lunch, the teacher kept getting on to them to be quiet. My son who I guess thought her methods weren’t working told them, “you want me to take my belt off?”
He got that from his dad who would ask that to the kids and usually that’s all it took was the threat and they stopped whatever they were doing.
The teacher told me about it, thankfully she wasn’t one of those teachers and thought it was funny. What was even more funny I guess his impression of his daddy worked even coming from a half pint.

Its funny. He makes a big show of pooping in the snow before he comes inside.
He knows the word “poop”.
And for good reason. The last time he was inside overnight, on my bed, I awoke at about 0300 to a very “liquid” sound. I jumped to then end of my bed, feet on the floor, and hands to the sides — my right hand was being pooped on — audible liquid style.
That was two years ago. He remembers it still.
