This is my crazy, wonderful husband up on the roof. It's been so windy and stormy that it lifted some of the tar paper on the part of the roof that isn't quite finished. So up he goes, hammer and tar in hand. I cringe, because it's freezing cold out, and the roof is wet and slippery.
We have had rain, and a whole lotta hail today, so I understand why he wants to make things nice a snug. It just always makes me nervous when he's up there! Stepping outside to take his picture when he's somewhere he can't hide, I look out over the ocean to see why he felt the roof couldn't wait, and I understand why he's on the roof in the dead of winter.
Another cloud is heading this way! It seems like it's been an endless onslaught today of sun, then rain, hail, and wind. The day started with a bang at 7am with a HUGE downpour. Looks like the day might end the same way!
On another note, I worked out (at home) today. I just don't have time to go to the gym, so I'm trying to get back into gear. I figured why wait for New Years when I could start today? It motivated me enough so that when I stopped by Burger King for an Icee for Emma after her doctor's appointment (and I hadn't had lunch!) that I didn't buy anything for myself! I didn't want to undo the work I had done. I figure if I can't find a half hour each day (at least) to dedicate to myself and my health, then there's something wrong! Happily, I haven't gained any weight over the holiday, so I don't feel like I'm starting too far behind.
Speaking of Emma, she's made about ZERO progress on feeling better, which is why I took her in today. They didn't find anything new, but did get to see for themselves she still has a fever. Orders are to finish the antibiotics and keep her hydrated. That we can do, I just wish she felt better. At least I know her lungs and ears are ok. The two big girls are quietly enjoying vacation, staying up late, and waking up late too. They are so busy during school time that I don't mind them being lazy during their break. They get their chores done, don't fight, and babysit when needed. We are indeed blessed.
The cloud just arrived, and left pea sized hail on the porch. Thank goodness I have a husband who takes such great care of all of us!
