enough already!!

ok, i now know i would not make it in a place where you would not see the bare ground for months--it has been a week today since we had our first snow storm. we currently have around 8 or 9 inches on the ground, and while the kids have been loving every minute of the snow--i am so tired of it!! after a week straight of the white stuff covering every inch of my yard, trees and bushes (that were alive & blooming about a week and half ago!), i have come to some conclusions on my feelings of snow! 1. i love falling snow as long as it melts within minutes of hitting the ground! 2. i don't mind snow not melting instantaneously as long as i am warm and cozy inside with no place to go, and the 2 children, 2 house guests, and husband are content being there as well, and 3. the minute we come inside from playing in the snow for the 5th time in a day, the snow would miraculously not melt all over the floor, the clothes would clean and dry themselves, and the floor would mop itself!! so, while i am feeling all bah humbug about the wonderful white stuff....i have to admit i did have a good time this morning sledding and stomping around in it! the boys tried out all of their snow gear for our ski trip with the fox family later this week! the boys kept flopping themselves down into the snow and coming back out with their faces covered with snow! they looked like the people that climb everest, when they finally make it to the summit! plus, we have a great sledding hill right in the front of our house....so we had to all take turns coming down at full speed! so even if i am checking the forecast hourly for the next glimpse of a clear and above freezing day, we all had a great time in the snow...even if when we came inside, the snow did not melt, the clothes did not clean themselves...and that floor is still waiting to be mopped!
