Tis the season...

Here are my top five reasons to hate this time of year:

5. It is way too cold outside!

4. The sun shines and gives you the illusion that it might actually be warm outside. When you go out you are smacked in the face with bitter cold winds.

3. The kids can only stand the cold weather for so long so they don't stay outside much. When they come in they bring with them loads of snow that melts all over the floor. Every time you walk somewhere near the area they came in, your socks get wet and you have to get a new pair! Then the kids are "SO bored".

2. The Holidays force you to eat way too much food, stretching your stomach to a size that would only suit a horse.

And finally #1....

1. The kids get sick. Then they get sick again, and again. I spend so much time trying to clean the house and sanitize it and it seems to do no good because they just spread it to one another. I am such a nervous wreck from thinking that any moment one of them is just going to throw up all over the floor!

Well there it is, the top 5 reasons I hate this season! I know it seems depressing but it could have been 10! I couldn't help posting this. Ethan is sick today and it is just a reminder that this is just the start of a very long winter! Enjoy the season!! :)

I totally agree!! I think I would add to your list the fact that the sun goes down at 5:30! It feels like it is always dark! and it makes me tired.

Craig wants to know if you're in need of BARF bags! :) The only time E threw up was at the Meijer's in Toledo. We had just left the store to go home and as we were just about to put her in the car she lost it all! She looked at it and said, "Yuck!". It was gross!
