Not a bad way to end a rough week!



Saturday the kids and I enjoyed our first fireplace fire of the season. It made the living room all warm and toasty. We roasted marshmallows till they were gooey and black. We had hot chocolate overflowing with mini-marshmallows. It was very nice. I don't know anything about fireplace maintenance though so if anyone has any info to pass on it would be greatly appreciated. :)

Our week was a bit rough. I was sicker then I have been in a long time the whole week. The kids were lucky they made it to school everyday. I actually had to call my friend to take them and pick them up on Monday because I just couldn't function. I finally feel like I'm actually going to live. :) Chey was a huge help too. Of course the house ended up trashed and homework wasn't always done on time and the kids ate a lot of microwavable meals this week but I don't think their any worse for the wear.

Ooh, I love fireplaces! The only advice I have is to make sure the flue is open, but it obviously was, or you guys would have been all smoked out, lol!

I'm glad you're feeling better!

Microwavable meals never hurt anyone -- at least they ate! Glad to hear you are finally feeling better. The fire looks like it was nice and cozy!
