Over Kill

Honestly now, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Here in our house we all look forward to and enjoy a white Christmas. We all love a fresh new coating of white fluffy stuff to cover over all the "old" snow. We really do.

But this.

Quite frankly, it's too much. And not just because The Mr. had to be in Appleton at 8AM today, blizzard day. Not just because we've already shoveled out from under double digit amounts of snow. Not just because winter doesn't being for 2 more days. Not just because my dog is on bed rest and I have to be escorting her every piddle. Not just because she's a basset hound and the snow is well above her head.

I think I'm still a little burnt out or over snowed from last year.

Winter doesn't even begin until Sunday night and I'm already wondering how I will maintain my sanity until spring.

The kids will be bored with snow play by mid January at this rate--a month too soon. The flakes will loose their novelty. The sleds will be stashed in the back of the garage. The forts will have seen all the snow ball fights anyone is willing to do. The snowmen will have whole family trees complete with frozen family reunions if the snow keeps on coming like this for the whole winter season.

What if snow really continues to fall all the way until spring??? I'm not that tall, I could be buried!!

I think my brain is frozen!
