I'm sick...

of winter
of winter with no garage
of frozen mini-van doors, especially when we are running late for the morning school run
of finding alive and dead Japanese Beetles, Box Elder bugs and now... ants
of paying our winter utility bills
of limited hot water
of no garbage disposal
of waiting to get plowed out
of praying we don't get stuck in our driveway
of praying that my VW will start in the freezing cold
of being dived bombed in bed by flies, that should not still be alive, when they are drawn to my bright   computer screen
of the constant slush and wetness in the mudroom
of getting 'wet sock' from the aforementioned mudroom
of trying to open and close very cold, outdoor latches with my bare fingers
of wet mail from the snow leaking into our mailbox
of long (weather related) commutes

I love...

living with my family in the country despite my moments of weakness (see above).  Just today, we ate scrambled eggs from day old eggs, the children were able to play with their cousins out in the snow (I LOVE seeing sled marks outside my kitchen window), and I am toasty warm while writing! In a few months, spring will be here as well as our 1 year anniversary of living on the farm.  I'm looking forward to both!
