Crochet Me Crazy

Okay, enough already...this is a bit ridiculous. Honestly, I can't remember dealing with weather THIS cold for THIS long. Sure, it gets cold sometimes but to get cold like this and hold for this long? Below freezing for days in a row??? Below freezing is not uncommon over the night.Well, maybe its been this way before and I didn't realize because I was inside my warm house...?? I don't know. We have to keep the water running or it will freeze up in a matter of minutes. Yesterday, someone forgot and turned the water off and then hose froze up and started filling up our tank. Jeff had to go outside with the blow dryer and unfreeze it. We had to go to the grocery store yesterday and Jeff was so paranoid about leaving the water running. If it froze up our drainage lines even if the water was running then we might come home to a flooded camper. We ended up unhooking the hoses and letting it run on the ground and left the hot water on a trickle.

Everytime someone opens the door and goes outside, its like every bit of warm air we've managed to get in the RV goes right out the door. Then, we have to spend time getting it back warm inside. RV's are not very well insulated. I keep having to clean literally inches of water in my window wells from condensation. Weird things are happening...my husband is wearing a beanie when he goes outside. I've never seen him wear one of those since we've been married. He was actually thankful when I pulled the camoflauge one I had crocheted earlier out for him. They say it might snow tonight...not sure I believe it. We'll see....my kids would be happy. They've seen snow flurries before but they've never seen snow on the ground that sticks. Some good things have come out of the cold. Alison always wants us to buy popsicles at the store but we are never able to because they will melt before we get home. Yesterday, we bought some since we knew they wouldn't melt. Matter of fact, we left them outside all night. I just got finished putting them in the freezer this morning. Yup, they were still frozen out there. I realize other places are having much worse weather than we are here but that's why I live in southern Texas!

Uh oh...as I'm typing, Michael just announced that we are out of propane. He is cooking something on stove and it just ran out. The bad news is that Jeff isn't here and I don't know how to change the propane tanks out. That means no heat. UGH....I might be spending the rest of the day under my electric blanket.
