Stop Snowing Damn-it

If it doesn’t stop snowing soon, in time for the plows to do their toil and prepare the roads for school tomorrow, I will begin to weep. And I will continue to weep through the long day tomorrow while my children sit home for the third day in a row, temperamental and bored, hopped up on sugar cookies and candy canes, teeth rotting, blisters forming from Wii over-use.

I will weep because I can’t get to the grocery store to prepare for an in-law influx that is scheduled to be five days in duration. And because I can’t get to the gym and I can’t finish my Christmas shopping and mostly because I can’t get the hell out of the house after what feels like weeks and weeks of canceled plans and forced togetherness.

I will weep because this year in NOT the year in which we all gather round the fire, content to warm our hands and cozy up in domestic bliss. I will sob softly from the chill of my upstairs office while coming to terms with the fact that this is only the first day of Winter and there’s so many more days of foul weather and foiled plans ahead of me.

I will weep.
