Grumble grumble

I'm here listening to the radio, the dishwasher, and the TV has cartoons going; the man on the radio just told me that "Shubenacadie Sam" has Just seen his Shadow. The news is in 6 more weeks of Winter. I will hold that woodchuck/groundhog to his word. If I see snow 3days before March21st, you know I'm going in after him!!! I'm so done with winter this year.
I should though look at the positives, I did just spend 2hours yesterday going sliding/coasting with my kids on the front lawn. The boys love it! Mr7 is not my snow bunny but when he gets out there he has a good time, he's the child that feels cold first, he insists on wearing long johns from October until about the first of May!!! Mr9.5 is trying his hardest to get from the top of the hill, over the ditch, and the snowbanks on the sides of the roads, and into the street! I wonder if he'd like to go into training for the Luge? or Bobsled? He builds ramps, he lifts his sled into the air as he flies over! It's quite impressive actually. Now Mr almost, very soon like 23days 4, well he's just getting to the point where he can't sit on my lap to go down anymore and he's working on his bring the sled back up the hill skills. He did a face plant into the snow yesterday, comes up the hill with the sleigh to tell me "MOM MOM MOM!!! I got got the snow all ova my face, isn't that funny?" sooooo it's a good way to look at a cold situation. I'm not longer enjoying the cold situation. We've been back in Canada about 5.5 yrs now, I'm over the "fun" of snow! we always lived where there was snow, but maybe it's my age?
In other news, the abandon chair is still about the same point there were flurries yesterday so it was just enough to replace the settling of the last round of snow. I think another storm is coming this week, so that woodchuck is probably right, but whyyyyyy couldnt' he just stay a sleep? then no one would see his shadow. How btw does he see his shadow when the sun isn't shining? hmmmmm?
