We are on day 4 of a snow day. Which means that my kids have basically had a 3 week winter break. I love having them home, I do. I love hanging out with them and listening to their play. What I miss is being able to go out shopping during the day. I miss the sanity that going outside and being in the sunshine brings to me. I wish my kids liked playing outside in the snow. My husband likes playing in the snow, I do not. I don't like being cold in any form. I can handle sunburns but I can't handle being shut in and freezing. Winter is not my friend. I know lots of people who love it, I am not one of those people. And you know what? THAT'S OKAY! I love that other people love winter, I love that they find fun things to do in the snow. I would have rather been born a bear. Hibernation is where it is at for me. I love the idea of eating and playing all summer long and then sleeping all winter. That sounds ideal.
But you know, I can't help but love watching the snow fall at night. And I love the way it makes my tree in my front yard look. And I really do love wearing beanies and hoodies. And the hot chocolate makes it all worth it. So I guess, I do like winter (in small doses)
