It's ch-ch-ch-ch-FREEZING!

My dad would always say that when it was cold outside when I was little.  I mean, last week. (Some jokes just won't die, y'know? LOL)

We're still having super-cold weather here in RI, although it HAS been almost a week since our last snowstorm, and we did have one 40 degree day.  Felt like spring. 

We're supposed to have 4-5 days of 38 degree + weather over the next week, hopefully more snow will melt.  I still can't see the bike path from my front window.

So, basically, I'm still here, still cranky, still cold.

Kids are trucking along with their school year.  They've been driving me a bit nuts lately, but I think it's more ME than them.  They're not being bad.  Just giddy.  And I'm too freezing, too sick of winter, too pms'y, to deal with it.

Patience turned 11 two weeks ago.  Maddie turns 13 in 3 weeks.  Sigh.  Pretty soon I'll have all teenagers.

Valentine's Day is next Monday.  Steve and I might go out for breakfast.  They just opened an IHOP in our city.  Nothing like blowing 2 days worth of calories on one meal. LOL  Perhaps I'll try to exercise some moderation.  OR--here's a thought--try exercising.  That wagon is a tiny blip way, way in front of me, because I fell off about a month ago.  Need to get back on.  I haven't gained weight, but I feel all squidgy.  Plus, I'm really needing the endorphins with how cold & crummy this winter has been. 

BUT!  The sun is shining today, even if it is only going to be 25 degrees.  Maybe I can withstand the temps long enough to let it shine on my face for a few minutes.  And maybe, just maybe, I can pretend enough to think about being at the beach (which *sob* might not be happening much this summer--I hear gas prices are going through the ROOF).

Time to go do dishes & fold towels (not simultaneously).
