The Polar Vortex in my Brain

Remember when I was all chipper and cozy about the winter? When I was all hot chocolate and snuggles and snowflakes?

Well, the bloom is off the rose. I think there is a polar vortex in my brain.

Seriously?

School was cancelled twice this week already for extreme temperatures. On top of the cancellations two weeks ago. At this rate, the children might be out of school by mid-August (fingers crossed!).

As I type this I am wrapped up in a fleece blanket Mike inherited from work last year. My kids haven't even bothered to take their pajamas off.

I can hear the cold brutal wind beat against the side of the house.

We've used several sophisticated techniques to cope with the cold. Kiwi Crates,
WorldGirl, blueberry pancakes, and lots of hot tea. My electric kettle is on it's way to winning the 2014 appliance of the year award.

Act surprised when you win!!

Winter 2014, You're a little too bossy for my liking.
