an interesting piece of news

I read this morning and want to hold onto this here as a record was set this week :) (we are in Canton)




The clouds began rolling in Tuesday night. Temperatures before daybreak Wednesday were about 10 degrees warmer than a day earlier, but were still well below freezing, ranging from 23 in Canton to 28 in Peachtree City.
The warm weather front should take the chill off. Though showers will remain in the forecast through Saturday, the temperature is expected to climb into the high 40s or low 5os, Burns said.
That's a contrast from the record-breaking low Tuesday.
At 8 a.m., the temperature at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport dropped to 14 degrees, breaking by 1 degree a record for Dec. 14 that had stood for 93 years, since 1917.
Brisk winds made it feel even colder. The wind chill before daybreak ranged from zero degrees in Marietta to 6 in Peachtree City. The actual air temperature just before daybreak was 12 in Canton and 14 in Marietta.
Get ready for more ice-cold weather Tuesday night. Burns expects lows near 20 degrees in downtown Atlanta, with temperatures dropping into the teens in the suburbs.
On to other things, I am taking a break from Facebook as much as I can for the next 10 days, and then hopefully getting off of it most the time after the new year. I have a mind packed full and sitting on facebook for hours a day is not fixing anything, I have also decided to take a small freak from fostering once Christa's litter is adopted and she finds a new foster once her babies are weaned. I am getting burnt out on it and the fun is not there as much for me anymore, I need a break so that when I do start fostering again, its exciting and fresh for me at the time....getting off facebook will also help me keep strong on my need for a break without looking at all those sad faces all day and wanting to "save them all". I am coming into the last 8 months of having my little girl home all day as a true stay at home mom, and I want to really work hard on her letters, numbers, colors and shapes before pre-k starts in august. I am sad that my baby girl is turning 4 in just 3 months and I want to really enjoy and soak in as much as I can this next 8 months...I also want to work on myself. Not buy myself a bunch of crap I dont need, but mentally, physically, and emotionally repair myself. I want to pick up a hobby or two and I want to stat filling my life with something more useful than status updates. I have wasted away a whole year on facebook...but its just one year....now to live twice as much in 2011 (and pray 2012 is just hype). I want to work on Clover and his training and also now with Momma since it looks like she is a permanent fixture around here. I also want to get away a few times during the year with the kids and take at least one solo vacation for a weekend during the year. I have a lot on my mind, a lot on my plate, and a lot of goals....and I plan on achieving them all! Add that to the zoo, the aquarium, fernbank, and a million other day trips, and I hope to be too busy for much else! :)
Well, I better get going on all that now! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
