The current temp: 13 degrees F with a feels like temp of -2 degrees F.......
Yes, its December 10 in Iowa and yes, its cold, and snowing, and yes I realize I live in Iowa. Would someone help me try to explain to my daughter that we live in Iowa...its December...which means it is COLD. This morning as we were getting ready to walk out the door, she was SCREAMING at the top of her lungs about not being able to get her boots on and not being able to get her snow pants in her bag vs asking for help...yes she is 6, but she is also very temperamental and learning how to manage her frustrations....which right now consists of an ear piercing scream and crying, and her poor brother just stands there and waits....pretty sure if his eyes rolled any harder this morning he would be looking at the back of his head all day!! When the ear piercing scream happens the two cats scatter and cower under furniture not knowing when the volcano will erupt.
Also, I have noticed that girls in HS have missed the memo that it is 13 degrees F with a feels like temp of -2 degrees F. They must have forgotten that if you dress warm you will be warm....I know HS is the end all be all, and fashion is the MOST important thing...God forbid you dress for function rather than fashion. Bless their pea picken' hearts... they have to look good, so don't come to me and tell me how cold you are when you are wearing shorts and a hoodie!
Christmas is just a mere 2 weeks from today...and AMEN....that Darn Elf will be gone....Pretty sure after the pass I threw to my husband this morning I would be among the Heisman Trophy prospects....I'm thinking Bilbo, the Elf, will be on strike for the next few days....maybe, just maybe that will help with the ear piercing scream and tempter tantrums....one can only hope!
A friend of mine and I have joined WW, not quite sure what I was thinking as this is the Christmas Season, and there are cookies and drinks, and delicious foods everywhere, but man alive I need to control what goes in my mouth, maybe this will help....otherwise when we are on our trip in February the resort will think a beach whale has arrived at the beach! So, the holiday cheer and enjoyment of food will have to be a minimum... hoping that maybe just maybe I can shed my winter insulation before hitting the beach!
Ok...enough rambling for today....your tip for today...DRESS WARM....it's darn cold out there folks!!!!
