Today it actually warmed up enough for mom and I to try and attempt to put in Matt's new battery. I had never done this before and either had mom. Anyone who has every worked with mom knows it can be a bit of a challenge. When she opened the hood and tried one tool, which didn't work she commented that this would never work. I told her only positive thoughts, thank you! It took us over 1/2 hour and the most difficult part was trying to get the battery out. It turned out it was frozen into place and once we figured that out, it was smooth sailing. However I did say a quick prayer when mom tried to start it and it worked! The prayer and the van. Might be just a little thing but we were quite proud of ourselves. We noticed the van even heated up much quicker too. So now I believe we will have no more problems with starting the van.
Sorry, made an error in previous blog. The aunties are coming on Thursday to party with mom,,,, I mean visit with mom. Poor Matt, stuck in a house with the giggling Relitz girls will be a test of his inner strength. I will rescue him once in a while but I will probably get sucked into the vortex and Matt will be in an even worse estrogen dominated household. So prayers for Matt and his weekend with the women (Jacki and the kids are coming up on Saturday, so there will at least be Bobby and Anthony!).

Winter, winter go away!!
Even the most hardy Canadian has their breaking point! My goodness, that wind is so bitter, it makes even your bones cold!
Last week I took Matt to Tony Roma's and the wings sure make the cold more tolerable. They were so good, Matt and I shared another batch. Unfortunately we had to wait for a boost from CAA before we could go. They know Matt's house by heart. So Matt decided to buy a new battery so we did, however we still have to put it in. We are waiting for it to warm up a little.
Then on Friday the girls had no school so we decided to go to the cheap matinee at Carnival cinema. Matt and Airene went to the Green Hornet and Jonmarie, Shaunie and I went to Megamind. Ours was so boring that I fell asleep. Matt really enjoyed his movie.
I helped Matt stand on Wednesday and again he did really well. It makes a difference if he can watch TV at the same time.
Matt's bed is not working right now. The bed itself moves up and down and the feet too, but the head of the bed is not working. So unfortunately mom has to get up with Matt in the middle of the night again to help him turn and "other things". But hopefully the new part will be here soon, especially before the Auntie's get here! Aunty Karen and Aunty Sandy should be arriving sometime on Friday. I think Aunty Margaret is thinking about it too! Those Relitz girls don't want to miss anything.
So pray for warmer weather and clear driving conditions.
