MomtoCandJ Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ugh so tired of being cooped up in the house (and not because of dd2). I want to go on walks with the girls, I don't do well with any other form of exercise and I do have some baby weight to lose. There isn't any place local to walk inside and I like more spontaneous outings, listening to birds, and most other nature (don't like biting bugs)... Ok I'm done whining now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I want winter!! We usually will get quite a few snow days each year (even weeks at a time), but this year we've had something like three days of didn't-even-cover-the-grass snow. I really like winter and the snow. (((Hugs))) to you. Hope you get your Spring soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 We discovered that the local arena put in a walking track, it is indoors, so no matter the weather we can go for our walks. I was able to get other homeschooling mommas to join me and we started a walking club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I will be more then happy to send you some snow, our school has used up all of their snow days and I really don't want dd1 to have to do makeup days. The bad part is, is that most of the snow days was due to cold not actual snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 ME TOO!!!! I'm looking forward to getting my hands in the garden bed dirt! Cleaning out my flower beds! Planning my garden! Cleaning up the backyard! Eating at the patio and doing school lessons there! Enjoying drives with the kids with the windows down! Oh and the birth of our little grand finale who is due to arrive at the end of March. YUP, definitely ready for spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I fled from Montana to get away from the snowy weather only to have it follow me here to Illinois. So far, it has been nicer in Montana -- and Alaska -- than here! That is wrong just very, very wrong. I must have a word with the snow gods or appease them or fly away to a tropical beach far away from this hell. To make matters worse, my neighbor's snow removal people pushed all the snow from their extra large driveway across the street onto my tiny parkway. Although it's against our town's rules to push snow across the street onto someone else's property, I usually don't care as long as they are careful; but this time they lifted the blade on their truck and packed it against my newly planted crabapples. There is 5' of packed snow and slush there now. I'm worried this might damage the trunks. Now I have to go complain to my neighbors. Grrr... Snow is fun for a few days but with multiple, large snowfalls -- forget it. Must. find. chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Another vote for Spring! I was just not made for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad part is, is that most of the snow days was due to cold not actual snow. My son's high school has had 4 cold/snow days so far. I am wondering if they will close tomorrow due to the dropping temperatures. The school has moved finals two days and tacked on two extra makeup days at the end.

Runningmom80 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm with you! We had a snowstorm the day before Halloween! seriously the longest winter ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yes gardening too, we are going to try square foot gardening this year. Starting small this year since I have dd2 and we don't want to spend a whole lot of money if it won't work for us. I have to put our garden towards the road in the only sunny spot in our yard, the rest is a lot of oak and maple trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow is fun for a few days but with multiple, large snowfalls -- forget it. Must. find. chocolate. You also need to find the receipt for those crabapple trees and a camera to get some good pics of the snow piled against them. Your neighbors - or their snow removal company, who should abide by the law - might have to reimburse you for them if they die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm honestly trying to avoid turning the air on. It's hot here and only 10:45. Ugh. So I feel your pain, just on the opposite spectrum here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 We just got another 14" of snow. I hear you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luanne Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I said those exact words yesterday. It has been snowing here a lot this winter. Right now the temperature outside is -6. We aren't supposed to get out of the single digits until Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoCandJ Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yes, the extreme cold makes it so much worse, can't really send dd1 outside to play because of it. Our furnace seems to run about all night long and we have it set at 65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
