Zoo Day

We were back to our school schedule today after having the last four days for the long weekend with Brian home. The kids were cooperative and we got quite a bit done. Rachel even listened in on our history reading, something she has not had much interest in doing before. She was even able to tell back to me some of the story. Praise God, we are making progress.

Over the weekend with the ice and freezing rain, we were inside most of the time. The kids wanted me to play with their Zoo Tycoon computer game...big mistake. I tend to be a bit addictive when it comes to computer or video games. Well, I spent most of my free time today playing on the computer.

It is so fun setting up the exhibits and all the amenities that go in a zoo. I haven't made Tycoon yet, but my zoo is doing well and as the game keeps telling me..."People seem to like your zoo."

Of course, my eyes are bugging out from staring at the screen for so long and I'll probably have visions of little green happy faces or red sad faces in my sleep, but it is a lot of fun.

I did do a few other things today...we did school and brought Bessie to piano. Brian picked her up after work. They made a stop at the farm store for chicken feed and cat food. Why do they call one feed and the other food? I did some reading and laundry...okay, so not much else was done today!

Most of the ice was gone this morning. The temps warmed up for a spell last night and then it rained hard and then the temp went way down. It is very cold and windy today, but dry...a few snowflakes, but no real precip. Once again, we missed the snow. I know there were areas not too far from here that got significant accumulations.
