I am so scared that I may not make it through the week without becoming an alcoholic. My kids do not like the cold. They especially don't like to get bundled up for the cold. Anything more than a hat, coat, mitts and boots they cry. Seriously, they don't like to layer. So with the weather being as cold as it is we will be stuck in the house all week.
I will be afraid to drive anywhere to far until some of the snow is gone, I got stuck in a snow drift in a parking lot today taking Declan home from preschool. It wasn't even because he attended it today. I shut up my inner voice this morning telling me to stay home, don't take him today, it is too cold. I took him anyway. I would feel bad for him to not go because I am a baby, he loves preschool so much. So, we got there just to be told they had just noticed a water main break and that there was no school. F**CK! Then leaving we were stuck in a snowdrift. My car sucks in snow. Thank goodness there were two moms having a conversation and notice me stuck. So, they started to push me out, I was ready to call hubby. Then I decided to let the lady drive who was wearing the expensive leather high heel boots. Besides it was my car, I should be doing the hard work. Plus I needed to burn off some frustration. YAY! we got out. We will see what happens Wednesday.
I really don't mind the cold when I am dressed for it but it is hard when you have kids who really don't like it.

What a pain in the arse that would be. I know we like to poke fun at Simon about the cold up there, but I would never wish that kind of crap on you.
Nice job relieving the leather-booted lady and putting your back into it.
Winter, while obviously not as harsh as up there, keeps us inside more than we (or Ben) like, so Shannon has been saying she needs a drink just about every day.
Winter there Mark??? does that mean you have to wear pants now instead of shorts???
Simon does get the crappy end of the stick being the only one who has to leave to work. I have the option whether I go out or not. Poor baby. But I have to deal with the cabin fever. Today we are going to bake cookies YUM!!!
Getting stuck in the snow or ice is so frustrating. Not only are you stuck...but now you have to get out in the freezing weather to deal with it. Aargh. But, you got a good story to tell and got to prove to Declan that his Mom can push the car around.
lol at Moksha's silver lining.
Winter is just there to make spring and summer look good. And they are looking mighty good right about now.
This is the worst stretch of it, though, so hang on. A couple of weeks yet and March will get here.
I feel your pain. Now that we live out of town I had to drive into work on Monday, right in the middle of a blizzard. I was a nervous wreck the entire night before and up at 4:30 debating whether I should go or not. Geesh!
