I am officially done with winter.I am done with hats, gloves, snow boots, and scarves.
I am done with worrying about colds and flus (and the yucky strep infection that seems to have attacked several adults in my neighborhood).
I am done with washing my hands ninety times a day to prevent spreading germs.
I am done with sniffles and runny noses that the older kids are all too willing to pass on to the babies.
I'm ready for fat babies in swimsuits, sundresses, and shorts.
I'm ready for the kids to play for hours in the backyard (and not track snow into the house afterward).
I'm ready for family walks in the evening.
I'm ready to leave the windows open all day long.
Are you done, too?

Then come to my house, because it's 70 here and I had the windows open all day yesterday and will open them shortly today (truly not trying to rub it in, I'm trying to get you to take a road trip!)
ME TOO!! I am so ready to have the kids playing outside. I am ready to feel the warmth of the sun!! Hopefully, spring comes to stay...SOON :)
yea i'm ready for all of those things too...only problem is that with spring/summer comes my due date and I'm not ready. I haven't purchased one pink think....maybe tomorrow. So just hold off a little longer and then I'm right there with ya!
YES. Except that I had my windows open all day a couple days ago. And on Monday it's supposed to be back up in the 60s. I'm kind of loving this winter, as far as winters go.
And I thought I was the only one who chalked up her foul disposition to the weather... not that YOU have a foul disposition, Tennille :)... but I ABSOLUTELY do. Winter has settled into my bones and my heart, and I'm as bitter as the February air because of it!
This month I've been in a fair amount of despair and loathing because I am SO DONE with turtlenecks and socks and, for the love of Pete, driving to the gym on yet another cold and dark morning.
I hate that one day it can look like a sunny spring day outside... and then you walk out the door and that cold blast of air hits you square in the chest and knocks the (warm) wind right outtaya. I roll my eyes every time it tops out at an earth-shattering 59 degrees, and everyone is ready to leap for joy through kelly-green meadows wearing flip-flops and cap sleeves. Yeah... sorry to burst your bubble, gang, but 59 degrees is NOT, I repeat, NOT warm. I will concede that it isn't as cold as it could be... but it is NOT warm. And it WILL NOT LAST. March and April are even more cruel than February, so brace yourself and, for crying out loud, put those stupid Bermuda shorts away!
If I were given the choice to walk outside one more time before Memorial Day or be put in a coma until then, there are many days I would say, "Coma me, baby, coma me!! Just make sure my hospital room is at least 74 degrees."
Well... I don't know if I've conveyed my message effectively, but just to be clear: Nothing this mild winter can do is good enough for me. NOTHING. The only thing that would appease me is if winter would get over itself and move on, because I certainly have!
Thanks, TL, for giving me a place to vent... I've wanted to get this off my sweater-laden chest all month long! :)
sounds like you need to move to alabama, sister! I think 50 degrees is cold these days.
I'm done.
yes! we haven't gone anywhere because of winter and little livvy. i am sooooo ready for spring and to get out of my darn house!
yep...but I live in Rexburg, ID. Too much winter left here.
AMEN! I almost hated all the good weather we had last week because I knew it was jsut a cruel joke by mother nature and that she was going to make a huge snow storm this week.
Seriously! I am SO with you on this. I hope I didn't scare you by coming to your house for book group knowing that I was one of the adults attacked by strep. I had been on meds for almost a week, I promise!
