Whoa and Wow!

Whoa! It's freaking cold out! The temperature actually dropped on my drive to work this morning. It was 9 when I left the house and I looked down during my drive in and the truck said it was 6. Temperatures this cold really make me despise the walk from the parking garage. It is a nice little walk to get in when it is 75 outside, but it was bone-chilling this morning. I wonder why it got cold when I had to come back to work.

Wow! I'm super excited about news that our department will probably be landing another large gift to renovate our food facilities. Right after my maternity leave started, we learned that a wonderful donor would be contributing $1.2 million and now another has agreed to completely renovate our 50+ year old food labs.

In other news, I'm getting a glimpse of single parenthood for a few days while John is away for work. Hopefully it will remind me how much I appreciate the help that he gives me. Maybe it will keep me from complaining that he waits until the last possible moment in the morning to get up to help me get Jeremiah ready. I need to remember that he does help with him throughout the night and in the morning.
