Yikes! Accalia is in a majorly bad mood because Cole won the game of Scrabble Jr. that they were playing earlier in the evening. She had been lying upstairs in bed completely covered by blankets but came downstairs to see how the lunar eclipse is progressing. Now she's going back upstairs after sitting down hear and screaming no to everything Cole is asking her. Accalia doesn't necessarily get mad like this very often, but when she does she drags it out quite a while. I don't know if it helps her when I talk to her or try to help her come up with ideas. Oh, now I heard her come back downstairs and talk with Cole about something, so it sounds as if all is good between them once again. I just don't know what triggers it for her. I'm sure that sometimes it's low blood sugar or tiredness, but other time I think it's something else completely that I can't grasp and that Accalia doesn't wish to share with me.

Now that the kids are all getting along peacefully once again, hopefully we'll be able to continue with our pleasant evening. Cory, unfortunately, isn't home to take part as he's delivering pizzas in the frigid weather. Tomorrow the warm up begins, though! Oh, Cory just called and said he's on his last delivery and will be coming home with pizzas for the family. Now that is making the kids very happy.

Because it's been so cold, we haven't gone out today. I went out in the afternoon to start the van and let it run for a few minutes, and Ella was so excited when she thought we were going some place. Tomorrow we'll go to story time for sure.

Hmm. I thought there was something else I was going to post about, but I've lost my train of thought. I woke up this morning with the same headache I went to bed with last night and could not get rid of it. By the middle of the afternoon I threw up because it was so bad and finally decided to take something for it. It worked like a charm, but I really wanted to avoid taking any medicine. I'm trying to limit it as much as possible.
