Mother Nature Kicking Butt

I'll be the first to admit it; Mother Nature is kicking my butt. I had a hard time adjusting from the 40 degree weather to the 20 degree weather in late November/early December. Then Mother Nature made the temps drop even more.

Mother Nature proceeded to dump almost two feet of snow on us in late December and now in January we are stuck with sub zero temps. I'd say:

Mother Nature: 4
Me: 0

I keep looking back through some of the summer pics where the horses look so shiny. At least they look fat and happy now. They may be wolly mammoths but at least they are fat wolly mammoths.

I think Trouble has the right idea. For the next three months all I want to do is snuggle in to my favorite spot on the couch with my blanket and snooze. Maybe I'll peek my head out once in a while to see what the world is doing but otherwise I'll just snuggle in for the long haul.

The weatherman is calling for even colder temps later this week. I'm already struggling with trying to find places for everyone to be stalled. With 20 degrees below zero temps I'm going to struggle even more. I need to start planning my morning chores to make sure I have enough time to get everything done so I'm not late for work.

I can only hope as the sub zero days pass along that we'll yet again have nice weather. That's what keeps me going right now even if Mother Nature is kicking my butt.

I will have to blog about it later but have I ever mentioned I love my family. My sister gave me the best Christmas present ever. I'll keep you in suspense until later! :-)
