School Runs

Is it just me or is anyone else waking up these last few days dreading the school runs? I find myself trying to squeeze an extra few minutes under the warm embrace of the cover before dragging myself out into the freezing open. I run to the boiler and turn on the heating, warming the house before I have to wake the kids. Fed, Clothed and bags packed and the horror begins. We venture outside. IT IS FREEZING! The excitement from Christmas has left us and motivation has dwindled. Please bring back summer. Wouldn't be so bad if it snowed and we could play but no! it just teases us with hints that it may snow soon but still nothing. Anyone else feeling like this?

It really is. I wrap them up so much but they still get those little red noses

This time of year when it is so cold it is hard to out from under the warm covers when the alarm goes off. This time of year is so long and cold. I can't wait until Spring gets here and it warms up!
