Well, not this post per say, just any post. I've had the Blogger window open and I've started and subsequently erased at least a dozen posts. There's no doubt about it. I've gone a little crazy. But can you blame me? Today was the 5th snow day we've had in 6 weeks. And I'm not counting the two early dismissals we've also had. And did I mention that today's snow day came on the heels of a four day weekend?
And yet... the snow keeps falling.
So without further ado... here's my plea to the gods above to make the white stuff stop falling: 21 Reasons Why the Snow Must Stop Falling!
- I can't let my 3 year old play in the yard. If she fell in the snow, she would disappear.
- The school closing banners at the bottom of the screen are seriously interfering with my viewing of LOST.
- Ever tried to work out with 3 crazed housebound kids? Me neither.
- The kids seem to think they're having breakfast at the Ritz. This morning I made pancakes, waffles AND bacon, with fresh squeezed OJ, of course.
- I can no longer reach my mailbox.
- The mailman can no longer reach my front door.
- I've run out of Nutella.
- Watching snow fall is boring.
- Ever tried writing with 3 crazed housebound kids? Me neither.
- My research on best shoveling techniques is now concluded.
- Clips from the Shining are flashing through my head.
- The soundtrack of Little House on the Prairie is on a constant loop in my brain as well. Shining+Little House=clash.
- Have started randomly dialing California phone numbers just to curse them out for having no snow.
- Aren't we at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or something from so much build up around doors and windows?
- Seriously entertained jumping out of the first floor window today just to see how padded the snow would feel.
- We've used up our snow day quota. Any other missed days will be made up on Saturdays.
- The mats of my car are frozen solid.
- Even our snowman is buried under snow.
- Am seriously considering streaking the neighborhood, just to break up the monotony.
- I can actually see my children's brains atrophying. They make a very quiet noise... kind of like falling snowflakes.
- Must stop tweeting about snow. Snow tweets=boring.
- Must stop blogging about snow. Snow blogs=boring.
- Must stop dreaming about snow. Snow dreams=boring.

Is it wrong that this cracked me up? Is mine the next California number you're going to call to cuss out?
So, so sorry! We've had a bunch of snow too but not that much! Just to try and one up you, our winter break trip to Jamaica was canceled because of snow in Atlanta- how unfair is that?! So yesterday, we were able to play in the NJ snow instead of the Jamaica sand!!
Aren't you glad you moved to Ohio?! *evil laugh*
I have more snow in my front yard than my dog is tall. It's a challenge for the poor guy to go potty.
This is my first year with snow, so I thought it was just me that just wanted it to stop. Glad to know even people who grew up with it want the snow to stop.
Now you have an idea how I gained 40 lbs living in Alaska for 3 years. Two toddlers plus 9 months of snow for three years equals lots of comfort food!
You said it for me. I hate snow!
I have to agree with every one of those reasons. Just when I think it won't snow anymore, I get fooled. Just had a huge snowstorm here. I can handle every season, except winter. So not a fan of it.
