blech. more snow.

Growing up with an abundance of snow has it's downfall. You get tired of it. I can remember walking to school in seemingly blizzard conditions. (No, not barefoot and two miles up hill ...haha!) We would bundle up, boot up, and suck it up. Out the door we would go, hoping that we could at least see over the snowbanks for oncoming traffic. School went on as usual. No snow days. Heck, we even had recess in winter...in the snow! I even remember waking up one Easter with the option of hiding eggs in the house or hiding them outside in four feet of snow.

I have had my share of snow and I am so over it. Now, so that you don't think I am prejudiced against snow, I will say that I do like some snow at Christmas. I also don't mind the occasional big snow. It does afford at least one opportunity for some snow fun. I am able to let my inner kid run free. I have to remind myself that my girls have not grown up with snow and they find is amazing and wonderful. So, for their benefit, I will bundle up, boot up, and suck it up.

(Gracie and I having fun in the snow)

And after it is all done, we are all warm, I anxiously await for the snow to melt! The snow came, we played...now go away.

As I type this, I am looking out the window at a blanket of fresh snow. Sigh. And, once again, the girls are out of school because of it. I am glad to have them home but I wish it were because it was summer break!

As I decide what to do with this stupid snow today....yes, I said stupid...I will remember that this time next month I will be at the beach. Then, the next month after that, I will once again be at the beach. I also have a Grand Canyon trip coming up this spring. So, go ahead snow...give me what you got, you can only last so long!
