Winter, you suck.

I don’t know if this is something you all know about me, but I HATE winter! Most of all, I hate driving in the snow. Maybe hate isn’t the right word…. LOATHE is more like it. The person going 20 on the highway and driving you crazy? That’s me. Yes, I live in Ohio, and yes, I should be used to it by now, but I’m not. I probably won’t ever be used to it. I hate the fact that it takes me an hour and a half in the winter months to get to work, and at least that long to get home. I get so tense behind the wheel that by the time I get to where I’m going, I’m shaking and crying as soon as I stop the car. Its borderline traumatic. I’m not kidding. I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way, right?



Now let’s talk about the fact that it’s snowing before Thanksgiving, and I’m getting in the mood for Christmas. I’m not ready for that yet! I like to enjoy the holidays one at a time, thanks. Now I feel like I’ve missed Thanksgiving all together, and that’s not fun. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! I love just getting together with friends and family and actually spending time together. I love fall decorations and the warm colors and the cozy feeling of the not-yet-too-cold. I like looking forward to Thanksgiving. Don’t take that away from me, snow! Not yet! I’m not ready! Let’s compromise- hold off until the day after Thanksgiving from now on, and I’ll let you snow as much as you want until April. Then you have to stop, because April means spring. You don’t get all of the months of the year, you know……….

I am one of the terrible people who LOVE snow!!! Even though my driveway is a deathtrap in the winter..... it just means a bigger chance of getting snowed in!!! Let it snow..let it snow...let it snow!

I am with you I HATE SNOW!!! You are not alone there is a girl I work with who is TERRIFIED. All day long she is posting weather reports. She is almost in tears before she leaves and then she usually has to pull over and have her husband or parents come pick her up. So don't feel too bad.

I too am a hater of snow! I hate the cold and the ick that it comes with. I love Thanksgiving and I hate how it seems to get skipped over by all things retail and such.
