10 things I hate about winter
read more about:
1) Even though there is the benefit of being able to wear completely strange and mis-matched clothing under winter jackets, the hour that it takes to get all the kids and myself dressed, makes dressing for winter number 1 on this list!
2) The coldness.
3) The fact that no matter what time of the day or night it snows, kids immediately need to go outside and feel it’s appropriate to beg until we feel like pulling our hair out have to ask them nicely to stop!
4) Cleaning snow and ice off the van.
5) Having large sheets of ice fall off trunks while driving behind them.
6) Shoveling the driveway (which really is a non-issue for me because I never shovel, but if I did have to shovel, this would likely be #1!)
7) The deceiving nature of wonderful, sun-shiny days with clear, blue skies, which looks amazing from inside a warm house, but then reveals bitter wind and freezing temperatures once you are lured into venturing out!
8) Getting dressed in a million pieces of clothing to go outside for like 1 second!
9) The slush.
10) The fact that in addition to being ummm, fat, ahem, I have to wear about 10 extra layers so I look like a Pillsbury doughboy!
We have about a foot of snow outside today!
The kids were almost covered!
But. on the other hand, sledding is fun! And for the first time ever, I think I will be attempting to snowboard this winter!!
