baby it's cold

So I know that this happens a lot during the springtime. But it was a bit weird to go from this:
to this:

in about 15 minutes. And instead of snuggling up in my nice warm bed with my equally nice and warm husband, I got to dig out the extra blankets. Jared is in Hawaii for a week, working. *snort* yeah, he got paid to fly to Hawaii and play with dangerous chemicals and biotoxins. He's in absolute heaven :) But he was nice enough to tell me, when he called this morning, that Hawaii would be much better with me there. *sigh* So I can't totally hate him for leaving me here with his four rather squirrelly children ;) I'm thinking about putting ice cubes in his boots when he comes home, though.

Hyrum got his stitches out today, and I have a definite count: 6. That's just in the top layer, though. All the inside stitches will dissolve, and since I didn't watch or count those [in order to remain conscious during the procedure], I have no idea how many stitches the inner layers of skin needed. But hey, he's going to have a cool little scar, and a great story to tell all the interested people he meets :).

And my oldest child will be *NINE* in another few days. *gulp* Not sure I'm old enough to be responsible for a nine-year-old. In a few years, he'll be driving, and chasing girls [wait, he's already chasing them...], oh I am SO not ready for this!

totally random: is "mushroom" a compound word? because "mush" and "room" are both words, but they don't really *feel* like a compound word when they're together...
