Ah, Winter

So today's high was 1 degree. No, I'm not kidding, that's a one. As in one single degree. It snowed all day, which honestly I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't so freaking cold when I have to go shovel. They have no idea what "snow days" are here either. Which would be okay too - except that I'm the one that has to drive my child to school in the morning. As you can all imagine, I am not the best snow driver in the world. Much as growing up in Oklahoma completely obliterated any chance I had of becoming a successful parallel parker, as I can't think of one single place there that doesn't have at least a 20 car parking lot & that includes the convenience stores, it has also made me an extremely nervous snow driver. But, the kids love the snow. What are you going to do? Please think nice happy thoughts of Eli getting a job very, very south of here.
