10 Reasons Why I Can't Wait For Winter To Be Over


1. If the heat goes out in your vehicle it doesn't matter (A/C is a discussion for another day).

2. No more stepping, sock-footed, in puddles of dirty melted snow in the kitchen from wayward children's boots and a husband who does not feel the need to take off his shoes immediately after entry into the base habitat.

3. Sweaters, long pants, socks, coats, mittens, scarves, hats, boots, snowpants, etc.,...times five...multiplied by however many times a day. Can we say exhaustion?

4. The basement family room might actually become enjoyable to the whole family.

5. Some person(s), who shall remain nameless, might just finally start his/her/their decade of thirtysomethings and be able to say goodbye to the Turbulent Twenties!

6. Being able to exercise merely by living everyday life instead of carving out a time slot to go downstairs (not enjoyable, see number 4) and do contortive bodily expressions in front of a 20-inch glass screen.

7. Building a fence!

8. Trying out the new deck!

9. Trying out the new backyard! (are we sensing a theme here?)

10. SENDING THE CHILDREN OUTSIDE TO PLAY.

Ah, priceless.
