My, how things change

Just in the past year, things have shifted so much.  Today I took my first cold shower of the summer.  I don't remember ever feeling this hot in 89 degree, 64% humidity weather.  I also never lived where it got down to zero degrees, either.  The last truly cold shower I remember taking was at Camp when I was 12.  I guess I got used to the cold, fast.

I make fun of Eric a lot because he basically gets in his car in the garage, drives to work, parks in a garage, and works in 72 degree bliss all day long, gets back in his car in the garage, drives home, and parks in the garage.  Basically he doesn't have to deal with cold unless I haven't finished shoveling the driveway, or I need to come inside and Miles isn't ready to stop playing in the snow.

I, on the other hand, get three kids in the car, drive to school and drop off, and I prefer to walk Elle to the door, but don't always get to, so I usually get out of the car to say goodbye.  Then I drive to preschool, drop Justin off, drive to run errands, and yes grocery loading is a pain in freezing weather and so is pumping gas.  Then I pick Justin up, and so I don't use gas I park and walk to get Elle.  Then we spend time outside in the afternoon either walking in the snow, playing on the ice, or shoveling.
