From inside it doesn't seem as bad

Yesterday I had the commute from hell. It usually takes me about 30 minutes to get the work. That includes being in what these crazy people call "traffic". Yesterday it took me an hour and a half. I was at a dead stop more often than not. Which sucked, but I'd rather be safe than sorry (*ahem*Jack). Still, I literally feel the tension in my body while I'm driving in snowy/icy conditions.

This is what it looks like outside my front door this morning. It's really not that bad when I'm looking from the inside out. I even let Jack take the 4Runner today, but only because I have my brother's car and only have to go 1/2 mile to pick the kids up.

A white Christmas

Here are some pictures of the front of my house and down my street. It didn't stop snowing all day yesterday. Jack is obsessed with shoveling the driveway, God love him.







And here's a picture of the street.

More winter fun

I know, I live in Idaho. Snow should be expected. What can I say? I'm a California girl at heart, though it's not much better there.

Like I told my sister the other day, it's fine when you're looking at it from inside your home. It's going out with it that's the problem.

Effing winter

Most people that know me know that I don't like winter. When we moved from Sacramento to Boise, I thought I would do fine w/ the cold b/c I've never had a problem with it before. It's really not the cold I don't like, but more a combination of cold, snow, and less daylight hours. In January, it won't get light until after 8am and then it will get dark by 5pm.

I don't really like that. I don't mind the cold if it's sunny b/c I don't have to be out in the cold.

This is a picture from the front of my house on Saturday. Yes, that is snow. I really want to move to Hawaii.

Better and Better

My mom just sent me this picture taken from her kitchen window.

Srsly

It's 2:48 and I just got home from picking the kids up from school. It's 40 degrees (F) outside.

If you hear a loud sound, it's me sobbing.

Winter has arrived

I've been saying that winter is coming since August. Winter is not something I look forward to. I've been dreading winter since June.














Do you see that SNOWFLAKE in the picture?? There's a 40% chance of rain/light snow. It's mother-bleeping OCTOBER!

Winter has arrived. Kill me now.
