Baby, it's cold outside! Brr... the high today was 24 degrees. The HIGH. And it's not even officially winter yet. I've never been a huge fan of winter; I can get on board with it until New Year and then I'm done- bring on the warm weather (hold the humidity, please). But winter came early this year and already I am over it.
Dry skin, static cling, bulky clothes, colds and flu, etc., etc. All that is bad enough. But factor in 2 small kids and I'm ready to book a flight to Cabo. Every day it's the same thing- searching for lost hats and mittens, suiting them up like Ralphie in A Christmas Story only to have someone need to go to the bathroom or need a diaper change and then managing to get the Michelin boy and girl in their carseats- it's enough to make me change my mind and just stay home.
Except that with 2 small kids who can't get out and play- these days if we don't leave the house there is a very large chance that I might lose my mind. There is only so much Noggin you can watch, so many art projects you can do, so many Christmas cookies you can bake before you have to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. And my kids end up like a couple of monkeys on espresso after being cooped up for too long.
If only I had a dollar for every time I've yelled, "No running in the house!" I could actually buy those tickets to Cabo. (And if we're throwing out absurd wishes I'd also like Sarah Jessica Parker's metabolism....but I digress)
