I can deal with the cold...not the colds.

|
Minnesota is pretty darn cold. When we first moved here, I was initially shocked when my primary girls/babysitters would come over in flip flops and shorts or no jacket or what not when the winter weather creeped up above freezing. Totally get that now. And yes, the cold makes my kids cry sometimes when we go out and makes things a bit harder to do here and there.

But what really drives me nuts is the sickness. I didn't have much winter before moving here--I spent 2 in Austin, and on in Mexico and Las Vegas before that--so maybe my memory is failing me, but I'm so tired of the sickness! Jane just got over a sinus infection and now she's all cruddy again. Same with Emiline, both have had fevers here and there, and I'm sick again as well and it hasn't even been a month. Jane's snot-hawk last Saturday (a mohawk but with snot for gel, you know when a kid wipes there nose upward into their hair) was both funny and gross, but I'm over it. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Thanks for listening to the complaining (again! I'm sure I whine every winter)

I totally feel the same way! I don't remember being sick this much until now! Of course I'm sure having kids doesn't help (they bring a lot of germs!) and I'm sure living in a new area doesn't help either (new germs I don't have an immunity to...maybe??) I hope spring comes soon for you and you are all wella gain soon!

It's not just the cold weather that bring sickness - Cate is on her second cold this year, and it was 75 degrees in California today! Kids and germs are bffs. Dang it. :)
