Yes, here we are on February 1st celebrating the new month with the "biggest" storm that meteorologists have ever seen. Over half the country is being hit with snow, ice, freezing rain and wind! It is 3:28 pm and my kids are not only home but have been home with an early dismissal and their homework is done...yes really. Their swim practice has been canceled for tonight and I am actually making a great dinner of roasted veggies, chicken and salad - not the usual for a weeknight of carpooling, homework, wet towels and suits to pull out of swim bags, showers, clean up, pack up books, etc. So, why is it so weird? I think this season has been tough with all the interruptions with this snowy, icy, cold weather. The kids have not had a regular week of school since before Christmas. They are not happy with the words "snow day" anymore. Parents are tired of trying to work the alternative schedule into their work day.
For myself, I am posting pictures of summer, seriously thinking about decorating my house for "summer mode" and looking through catalogs with summer clothes with great excitement! But, that is something to look forward to. I hope people don't continue to complain and moan about it...it is sooo contagious! A downer attracts another downer and everyone is miserable! Ever notice how it is hard to disagree with someone who complains?! So, me being the eternal kick pessimism on it's ass is hoping more people can laugh at this and just go with the flow!
Summer will come back and boy will it be sweeeet! Start planning your summer weekends now!
Look at my guilty dog here - I just let her in as she was outside and I couldn't find her. She dug herself under our little steps to the patio where there is actual dirt ... she hid from me there! Got herself all dirty but I think she was craving Earth! "Enough of the snow!" she thought! Ok, maybe we will snow blow you a dirt path!
Be safe everyone!

You are amazing and so healthy. You put me to shame on not taking better care of myself. Keep up your great attitude. Life is good!
