Ok, I admit it...I'm a whimp! Yesterday we had the 1st snowfall. Today, we still have snow, because it is so stinkin' cold!!! What are we in Utah or something???!!!??? Where people have walked/drove their car...we have ice. Nice. Going out to the garage is seriously physically painful...especially if you have to stay there for longer than 30 seconds. In a household where we are slow to relinquish to winter (anti-coats, anti-shoes, anti-socks, etc), we are really having a hard adjustment. Today I found Jason out in the snow...in his shoes with NO SOCKS!!!! Apparently, he doesn't feel that toes are necessary!
I'm just not a 20-degrees-kind-of-girl...I can tolerant 30 degrees, but 40 degrees is more my style.
If we have to miss school all week due to the snow...it might be rough (missed parties, missed projects, missed giving presents to teachers--again!, missed time for mom to shop without kids, etc). Survivable though. Then, I think to myself, "Have I prayed for more time with my children lately? Hmm..." Well, I think I've got it. The kids have actually been great today. We've been able to get lots of things done and enjoy some time together. I swapped kids with my neighbor for part of the day and that has been nice.
One beautiful thing about today...blue skies and sunshine...ah, vitamin D.
Ok, enough ranting...ah, but it's nice therapy.
