Groan... it's on it's way.

As I glance at the weather channel... I can see it coming. No matter how much I stomp up and down and throw a hissy fit... it's going to come. It will start rearing it's little ugly head tomorrow and won't leave until April or maybe even May. What am I talking about? WINTER!!!

I HATE winter! To me, winter is a bad word! I am one of those people that just freeze the minute it gets below 70. And explain to me why we have to have winter? Clearly other parts of the world can survive just fine with temperatures at 80 year around. So why can't we? Why must we have to put our lives at risk driving through 3 feet of snow just to get to the grocery store. See it's just not safe living in Ohio.

I hear what you're all saying... just move out of Ohio and be done with it then. Easier said than done. I have no means in which to support myself and 3 kids without Matt. And he is NEVER moving out of Englewood... let alone Ohio. =P So I am left to suffer.

So today I will open the windows for the last time in 2007. I will fold up my beloved lawn chair and tuck my bikini back in the drawer.

And tomorrow.... I will begin my 6 month period of mourning. I will wrap myself in fleece blankets, long johns, big ol hooded sweatshirts and the thickest socks I can find. My skin will not see the sun for 6 long dreary months. I will only leave the house if absolutely neccessary. For things like emergencies, flights to Florida or a really good sale.

So feel free to send me sympathy cards... or flowers... or money for a ticket out of what I call HELL.

You just had to bring up the cold weather. Now I have a runny nose. I'm sure you gave that to me yesterday over the phone :-)
