Snow. Not a fan.
Cold. Not a fan.
Canceling school....AGAIN. NOT a fan!
I've had it with snow this year, enough to make me seriously consider putting a "For Sale" sign in my front yard and looking at real estate much further south than here. There's nothing I like about snow. I don't like driving in it. It prevents me from being able to wear my flip flops outside. It takes me 30 minutes to bundle the kids up to go on a 1/2 mile run to the grocery store. I can't roam around town and take pictures like I want to. It takes serious geographical planning to try to make it to a coffee shop.
In the last 2 months of school, my kids have actually GONE a total of 15 days. Me? I've been in a perpetual rut of pajamas all day for the past 2 months. On days when I actually could (and wanted to) go out, I got sick and spent the day in the incompetent care of the ER staff at the hospital.
Today, at least there are blue skies. Though the wind is howling and the snow is blowing, at least I can watch it from the warmth of my own home with the laughter and chaos of a family I'm crazy about. As much as that warms this heart of mine, I'm still just plain ol' ready for Spring. And when Punxsutawney Phil comes out in February, you can bet I'll be there waiting with sunglasses on, beachbag over shoulder and a baseball bat in hand ready to beat his hairy body to a pulp if he dares tell me we have 6 weeks of winter left.
