In the Bleak Midwinter
It happens every year....the weather grows colder, and once Christmas is past, it seems as if the tundra sets in and grabs hold. I'm not a fan of winter. I'm not a fan of snow, ice, or drafts. It seems this year is colder than ever! When I got in my car this morning to head to work, it was 8 degrees. Now I know that many of you are thinking, that's nothing! It's BELOW zero here! But for us, it's big. It's the coldest day yet. I would know considering my new car tells me the temperature the second I get in it in the morning.
February doesn't get any better really. Of course, lucky me, I have a birthday in February. I've always hated a February birthday. When I was a little girl,I always wanted barbecues and ice cream cake - two things I could never have. And god forbid my birthday falls on a Sunday, as it does this year. The Super Bowl gets in the way!
Ahh well, Summer will be here before we know it. Until then, we'll wrap ourselves in fleece. There will be four of us trying to juggle things by the time it does arrive, but I'm absolutely sure it will be better than the bleak midwinter!
What keeps you going in Winter?

I'm with you. I really don't like winter at all. I like it for about five minutes around Christmastime when it's cosy to be inside and then I am over it.
I'm trying all sorts of things to keep me going until the spring (reading, baking, fun activities with my children, thinking warm thoughts).
Keep warm!
I totally agree! Something about Christmas makes it all feel so warm and fuzzy, but when the tree made its grand appearance on the curb the other day for compost pickup, the warmth of Christmas went with it!
My toddler is all about trains, so at least when he requests "Polar Press" (Polar Express!) we can still remember Christmas LOL!
