Why is it so cold?

Dear Mother Nature,

It would be greatly appreciated if you would turn the heat back on in our part of the country. Not even much, just enough so we can do the papers and not be frozen. Do you really understand that I had to get a sleepy baby into his two peice snowsuit and then, once he was fully traumatized I put him in his cold stroller and then wrapped him in a blanket. Then the princess, who didn't want to get dressed to start with, had to pile on all her outerwear. Mind you that would have been tempting to take her out without it if she fought too much longer. She doesn't like wearing all her clothes because she is stubborn. Next came Zachary, to have it warm enough that his feet won't freeze when I get tired of him bugging about socks. Like a little layer of cloth will do too much in this weather. He did find his socks when I told him we were leaving. Finally, there's the kid who thinks he's too cool to bundle up. Boy he would have been too cool this morning if he didn't listen to his mom. He still dawdled to do the papers when the rest of us were trying to go faster. If the wind was just a bit quicker it would have been registered with a windchill this morning. -26C isn't nice at all after spoiling us with temps that hovered around the freezing mark for so long. We all know we live in Canada and it's suppose to be cold but teasing us first, that was just not right. The mornings should never be this cold, it would save alot of battles, especially school mornings.

Therefore, I suggest you get some of the warmth back here. My legs are also frozen from this morning and the kids are going to want to drink all the hot chocolate. Kids and hot chocolate mean hyperness, and when it's this cold that is just a mean mix. GIVE ME BACK SOME WARMTH!!!!!!!!

Oh, I hear you. Getting a bunch of kids dressed to brave the cold artic temperatures is NOT fun. We get ready for preschool three mornings a week and that's enough torture for this girl. You have my sympathy!
