Finally, finally the snow came.....unbeknownst to me and many of my Lake Washington School District area friends, the schools were closed yesterday. There wasn't a flake, and normally they are out early on Wednesdays anyway..... sigh. So we managed to survive the day, went and painted pottery, etc....lots of things to kill time!
Last night, however, we got about 6 inches of snow, and it is gorgeous and white out there today. Of course, as a mom, I am not a fan of snow days. Here is an example: MOM! IT SNOWED! SCHOOL IS CANCELLED! I WANT TO GO OUT AND PLAY! Not yet, it is only 6:30 in the morning. HOW ABOUT NOW? WHAT ABOUT NOW? NOW? CAN I CAN I CAN I? WHERE ARE MY SNOW PANTS? WHERE ARE MY BOOTS? DO I NEED GLOVES? I CAN'T FIND MY SLED! HELP ME PUT ON MY PANTSGLOVESLONGUNDERWEARSWEATERSOCKSCOATGLOVESHATBOOTS! HURRY! Ten minutes later.... I AM COLD AND GOING IN! I WANT HOT CHOCOLATE! HELP ME TAKE OFF MY PANTSGLOVESLONGUNDERWEARSWEATERSOCKSCOATGLOVESHATBOOTS! Then a friend calls to go sledding. MOM! HELP ME PUT ON MY PANTSGLOVESLONGUNDERWEARSWEATERSOCKSCOATGLOVESHATBOOTS! Repeat nonstop all day long.
I, on the other hand, am trying to figure out how to work out today. I love running in the snow, so will get out the YakTrax, as well as walk the snow-loving dog, and maybe, maybe head to the gym for a swim. Why is it so easy to skip the swim?
