You have the winter cabin fever. We have the summer cabin fever, remember? The car is so stinkin' hot you can't touch the door handles or sit on the seat, or touch the steering wheel!! You are a dripping mop before the air conditioner cools it off inside to a decent temp. Shoes are a must or you scald your tootsies and ahhh we mustn't forget the greasy sunscreen every time you want to go outside! A cold drink lasts about 3-5 minutes, tops. Electric bill? Must I really comment about that? Grocery shopping with ice chests with a bag of ice in the car and pray you get your groceries home still cold or frozen, especially the million and one popsicles you go through each summer. Just wait a few months, then you'll be listening to me complain and wishing it were late November! Hang in there - LOL!<BR/><BR/>Other SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058655193430514860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578126756449436999.post-81646246304070965372008-02-19T07:57:00.000-08:002008-02-19T07:57:00.000-08:00I hate winter...and this time of year is the WORST...I hate winter...and this time of year is the WORST.

I think it is important to have grandparents around the kids. The children really benefit from them. Talk to ya later.

We as parents are most fortunate to have a wonderful relationship with all of our grandchildren. We are able to spend good quality time with them, more than when we both were working. We cherish those times, with your blessing, we are honored to see you soon. We love being with you, your husbands and the precious grandchildren all 8 , soon to be 9!!!!!!! no sadness!!!!

We may have warmer weather during the day, but nothing could be more infuriating than running the A/C during the day and then the furnace at night from the freezing temps. And when it is warmer - it's RAINING! Today is very deceiving, as the sun is shining high in the sky, but looks aren't everything! The winds are so stinking chilly,it's not comfortable to be out in them. I know, as soon as summer is here I will be bellyaching as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578126756449436999.post-26634740409025536162008-02-18T12:01:00.000-08:002008-02-18T12:01:00.000-08:00You will be just fine sis....it's been a weird win...You will be just fine sis....it's been a weird winter here in Oceanside too...cold, and wet...we are heading for more storms today too...rain and more rain and cold.

This may be getting old, but when mid-July hits and it's 105 outside and you can't keep the AC on as low as you'd like because it would cost too much, and the kids are climbing the walls because it is too hot to play outside, and going out to check the mail requires you to have to change your entire outfit from all the sweat, you'll be BEGGING for snow and wind chills and maybe even ice on the driveway! Hang in there.....it DOES go away! I always think how nice it would be if someone could figure out how to store all this cold air, and then let it out slowly in the summertime inside my house. Wouldn't THAT be useful? I know. I'm weird.Mikala B.
