What the Snow!

I could of swore someone told me that it was going to be a mild winter. They must not be from the cold, rainy, snowy and sunless state of Illinois. We have used the snowblower like three times in the last week. Now I know it could be worse like 24" worse. Hey when you haven't seen the sun in like over a week and it has rained pretty much from the 23rd and then changed to snow on the 25th and has been snowing since you get down in the dumps. Heck I am starting to wonder if Spring is ever going to get here. It finally stopped snowing for now and the sun even peaked it's head out for a bit. Not long enough that I can see our driveway but never the less it came out. Now I just have to deal with cold tems and blowing winds. That will make driving on the back roads fun. Well it doesn't really matter since both kids have colds and coughs, we shouldn't be out and about anyways. Must be better for preschool otherwise J will flip. He has been asking to go to school for the last couple of days.

Back on the subject of the snowblower, I asked Mr. G if he has been kicking himself in the butt for not buying one sooner. His answer "Yes". Yep I kinda figured since it has only been taking him like 30-45 mins to do the driveway, put salt down and shovel little sidewalk. The best part is I don't have to hear him complain about his back. Yippie!!!!

Only a little over two months left of snow months and then Spring should be knocking on the door. I am counting down the days till there is sun shine, blue skies, the first sight of a robin and a little bit of green grass.
