Babysitting was great. Baby didn't make a sound, I sat on my butt and worked on my essay for three blissful hours

Your weekend sounds lovely. I am always jealous of people that have family nearby. I would love it if someone would take the kids every once in a while so there was a bit of breathing space.

ETA Cass, nope, lambs are disasters at night too. I have vivid memories of chasing them off the doorstep and into their yard around midnight…
Bummer about the mastitis. I hope you can clear it without having to resort to antibiotics.
You got it in one about the snow - it looks cool falling and I love waking up to find a beautiful clear day with a foot of snow on the ground but the kids last a few minutes in it and then they are cold and wet.
