So what if I have been converted to a snow hater.
I usually love the snow. I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything. I loved having snow days. I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes. I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen.
I don't love it anymore.
Snow days? I don't get snow days. I don't work. I don't get to have work or school canceled. I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow. What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids.
And I also get a husband who is gone. He plows snow in the Winter. Go figure. He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.
So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also have to spend my time in a new house that I'm not used to trying to unpack and organize our lives back to normal.
Where is the positive in this?
Well, the snow is still beautiful even if it is a giant pain in the ass. I still do love the quiet during a snow storm. There is something very peaceful about it. It also helps to generate a pretty nice income for us lately so I guess we should be thankful for that. I'm not sure the trade-off is all that great but I guess there has to be a silver lining somewhere.

I guess one benefit is that since your kids don't go to daycare, you don't have to pull them out in it. I had to take my kids to daycare this morning and my car thermometer read -7. I was so upset that I was subjecting them to this. They only go 2 days a week, but of course, this tundra always seems to happen during those two days.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally a snow hater too, and dreading the 12" we're getting tomorrow...is it spring yet?!?
ReplyDeleteSnow is all fun and games until it dictates your life. It always takes me a while to get used to a new home, the weird sounds you're not used to, the freshness and bareness of everything. It takes time but I am an instant gratification kind of person. It's annoying lol. Can we please talk about how Cordeila was the Supreme? What am I going to do with my life now that I don't have AHS? How will they ever top that season? I wish I were a witch :[
ReplyDeleteI do NOT like snow either! Hopefully spring will come soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is pretty but yes I am getting a little sick of the snow too! We have had an unusual amount for NC this year.
