Cold and rainy March 25, 2004 ~ 11:32 am
Posted by Julie in : Rick, The Girls , trackbackIs there some unwritten rule that when the temperature is possibly going to hit 50, they shut off the heat? Because it sure seems that way in my office. I’ve been on the phone with Facilities three times this week, pleading with them to turn up the heat. Eventually, it comes, but I think they all know me over there now. I asked someone else in my office to call them this morning.
Rick’s girls are back from Scotland and staying with him for the next few days, until spring break is over. The ex is still in Europe, which is why the kids were in Scotland, they were visiting their mom. She’s an opera diva. In the true sense of the word, not the nice one that Kim, Karrie, et. al are. I saw the girls last night before Rick and I went to the theatre (we saw Bill Irwin in “Mr. Fox: A Rumination” - I’ll probably write my thoughts about it later), and they regaled me with stories of the Paris airport, having the stomach flu in a really bad hotel, and haggis. The oldest child also made up a song with at least 20 verses about a man who loved beer (yep, it was really about Dad). Sung very well in a country-western style. I love hanging out with them, and will probably see them at least twice more this weekend. There is nothing like seeing the world through the eyes of an 8 year old and an 11 year old.
And outside…it’s 47 degrees and rainy. I can deal with the rain as long as it continues to warm up. I am so tired of winter!
