I realize that winter isn’t even here yet, so technically I guess these are things I hate about fall, but I love fall. I would never libel fall, so I am blaming winter.
1. Double the laundry! When the weather gets colder I start wearing socks again, doubling the amount of socks in the laundry and the amount of socks that disappear for no reason. Also, B starts wearing undershirts and I hate folding t-shirts. I hang everything, but unfortunately we don’t have room in the closet to hang 40 Hanes white t-shirts.
2. Static electricity. Grr, as if my baby fine hair didn’t have enough problems holding any kind of style. No matter how much hairspray I use, how much conditioner I apply or how many times I de-static my hairbrush, the second I walk outside my hair stands up. Do you know how annoying it is to have tiny pieces of hair static clinging to your face?
3. Defrosting the car. I am always running late. I can’t factor in an additional five minutes in the morning to defrost my windshield. I am hoping now that B and I carpool this won’t be an issue. I just have to train him to factor in five extra minutes!
4. Being cold. I think that one goes without saying. It is not so much the cold that kills me, it is the bundling up for the cold that I hate. I hate jackets. Maybe if I had a super cute collection of winter coats I wouldn’t mind. But right now, I hate trying to bundle up especially when the weather is still in the in between phase. It is freezing in the morning, but warm in the afternoon (at least warm in the sun) and the cold again at night. I think I prefer all or nothing when it starts dropping below 32 degrees. Then I know what to expect morning, noon and night.
5. No more naked Sundays. Or at least until we break down and turn on the heat. Brrr!
But I guess winter isn’t all bad. I do love Thanksgiving and Christmas. Winter is the season when I get to spending the most time with my family. And of course I can’t forget my baby girl.
When winter hits, Zoey becomes a sweet, cuddly little girl. She will sit for hours wrapped in a blanket in my lap. She is not a fan a winter either, but I love the docile baby she becomes. She even appreciates it when I dress her up! Anything for added warmth I guess.
Do you hate the changing season as well? I can’t be the only cold weather complainer. Though I will say, between summer and winter, I would choose winter every time. The only thing I hate more than being cold is being hot!
Oh ZOEY! What a cutie!
I love it when they get all cuddly under the blanket. And then suddenly realize they’re hot, fly out from under the blanket and PLOP on top of it. And then, not 5 minutes later, they’re pawing to get back under the blankie.
Santino needs his sweater too, even if it’s just to go outside and take a tinkle. At certain temperatures, he needs his booties too. IT TAKES FOREVER to do simple things like dress him for a tinkle.
Ya gotta love Bostons!
I think we may have been seperated at birth! LOL I absolutely agree with everything you said. And my dog, Peppy, is exactly the same way. He loves when I put sweaters on him in the winter and he will stay curled up with me under a blanket all day.
And I would totally rather be cold than hot. I hate being hot!!!!
I hate winter as well, I hate snow! Although I agree that I hate being hotter than colder- my whole theory is that you can always put on more clothes when you are cold but you get to a point where you can’t take off any more clothes when you are hot.
And Zoey is so freaking adorable. Even Maggie gets cuddly, she can’t be close enough to you at night- it makes sleeping uncomfortable but it is so cute you can’t help but let her do it.
