The One Where It's Too Cold

It is a terrible, horrible, no good, very cold day. That's what it is because I went outside and I was cold and I checked the weather and it said 11 degrees. Then I tried to walk out to my car and I slipped and fell on the ice. I hate ice. Then I tried to open my car door to start the car and the door was frozen shut. I had to put the carseats back in my car and so I had to open the other car to get the car seat out. That car door was so frozen shut that while I tried to pull it open I slipped again on the ice and fell. It is a terrible, horrible, no good, very cold day I yelled at everybody. But nobody even heard me because my words froze before they came out of my mouth. Then I had to get the kids in the car and take Zach to school and I was missing a button on my jacket, I had no gloves and my hair was blowing everywhere. I don't want to go outside again until the ice is melted, the sun is shining, there are leaves on the trees and it's at least 50 degrees. It is a terrible, horrible, no good, very cold day. I guess some days are like that. Especially in Indiana.

The One Where I Have One Of "Those" Kids

Zach wanted to go play in the snow today. He got himself dressed in a hat, gloves, snow boots and shorts and a short sleeved shirt.

Zach: I'm going outside to play.
Mom: You need a coat. It's cold outside.
Zach: I'm just okay.
Mom: Ok, sure.

Two seconds later Zach comes back inside.

Mom: Did you get cold?
Zach: Yeah.
Mom: Do you want a jacket?
Zach: Yeah

I guess he's just one of those kids that has to learn it for himself.
