Cold, cold, cold

I am getting old.  I am sure of this, now, because when I go outside, lately, I feel it. 

In. My. Bones.

It is so, so cold in Virginia! I don't remember it becoming- and staying- so cold here!

The snow is gorgeous, though, and I'm glad we got a few days of really good sledding in. I don't remember feeling so cold when I was a kid, and my youngest certainly doesn't feel it now.  It's funny, isn't it, how things change as a grown up?  I don't think it's a bad change at all, it's just that it's different to enjoy the season (the cold season) from the inside instead of the outside - dry - instead of wet, warm, instead of cold... You get the idea, right?

I like sleeping in, too, by the way, so the snow days were nice in that I didn't have to get up at 6:30 for the high schooler.  I like routine, though, also.  So, by Friday I was done with snow days and ready to get everyone back on track.  So, this week, when it snowed again, we "ignored" the snow day... meaning the girls and I slept in with the high schooler, but then still did our homeschool work (distracting, but not impossible). 

So... I feel like we are a bit in hibernation mode- but that is just the season we are in.  At least I am- because I'm cold:)
