So, usually I LOVE snow, can't get enough of it, and am excited to just sit and watch the flakes fall all day long. This year, I'm 100% over it. Not being able to be outside running and playing with my girl is enough to make me crazy, being stuck inside ALL the time while feeling gross certainly doesn't help me feel better, and it's hard to think of planning for a middle of the summer heat baby when we're buried under tons of snow. The day that Derrick got to stay home and work (and work was basically nonexistent because the entire city was shut down) was great. I could get used to doing that everyday. But, since that obviously doesn't happen everyday, this snow and WAYYY BELOW freezing cold is making me cranky (and pregnancy tends to do that enough for me, thank you very much).
But, God listens and knows what we need.
We are beginning to thaw out, and it's AMAZING. My mood is instantly lifted.
Yesterday we started the day with hearing birds chirp ("Tweet Tweet, Mommy!!!") and then heard the train go by ("Addi see Choo-Choo, Mommy?"). It was still somewhere in the 30's, but in light of the coming warm weather, the birds chirping, and hearing the icicles dripping down to nothing, we donned our fleece jackets (no big waterproof snow jackets for us) and took on the day. And it was a FANTASTIC day. Possibly the busiest day I've had in months (more on that later), but we were together and it was sunny outside! Hallelujah! We're actually excited about this VDay week-Addilyn and I have TWO outdoor play dates scheduled, are starting a little more baby planning, and hope to see our dear park (once the snow has melted and it's a little less muddy).
So, hears to a week of spring-time!
Yes, I'm well aware it will induce my spring fever even more and make me cranky when I have to get my big jacket out again but, shush. We're not thinking about that.
