ok, so we all know how sucky the weather has been. -22 is just plain stupid. but, i've been noticing something about things that make me frustrated, like really ridiculously cold weather and broken ford explorers.when they are back to normal, i am SO HAPPY.
today i took little j to junior kindergarten at 11, got out of the newly fixed and oh-so-high-off-the-ground explorer and seriously basked in the 9 degree sunshine. really. can life get any better than a temperature above zero, sunshine, white snow and a vehicle that isn't a 1999 grand am?
i think not.

you are freakishly happy today...it's kinda scary.
I appreciate it.
I will try to find that place, perhaps with a hershey bar dipped in peanut butter.

I have the authority to say this because;
I spent 35 minutes packing up the babies with their frozen tears on their faces in a van that somehow still started even though when I went out to turn the key on I noticed the side door open from last night and then hurried down to the school only to run into Carey who was ecstatically vibrant about 9 degree weather.
It caught me totally off guard.

sorry rani, it's just hard for me to be inside for so many days. knowing that my skin won't fall off if i walk outside really made my day.

i know. i went outside this morning and nearly fell over with the warmth.
everything is relative.

You remind me of when we lived in Alaska and we had 40 below wind factor. When it finally let up it was a warm balmy 2 degrees and I totally remember thinking "Wow, it's not that cold out!"
HAPPY, HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Yikes. We were at 11 yesterday (0 with the wind chill), and I was fairly pissy about the whole deal. I think I've been fairly pissy a lot lately, and if someone (especially someone I'm related to) came across me in an ecstatic mood, they would fall over in shock, or run in fear.
Not good.
