Serious Case of Cabin Fever

Dear Mother Nature, please spare us, we have had plenty of winter: tons of snow, and bone chilling temperatures. We are ready for Spring. Love, Me

Yes, I'm whining again about the weather, but I can't help myself. Welcome to Polar Vortex- Part 2 everyone! I thought the beginning of January was bad. I'm sick of spending 20 minutes heating up the car before I can go anywhere. And I'm tired of struggling to put on layers of clothes on my squirmy toddler. Even though I've lived in Chicago pretty much my whole life, this winter has taken my tolerance over the edge. I can’t wait for this winter to end, and it’s only January. It’s so freakin' cold in Chicago right now, yesterday it was like minus-10 when I drove to work. And today it is a balmy 17 degrees! Feels so warm I almost don't need to even wear a coat. I'm only kidding of course. Ahh, spring seems so very far away.

Screw You Winter, We're Outta Here

Obviously, we're all going a little cuckoo here being cooped inside all day. But thankfully, I just booked us a trip to Hawaii in March! Yahoo! At least now I have something to look forward to. Thank you airline miles for making it possible! I'm hoping by scheduling the vacation in mid-March, that there will only be a few more weeks of winter to suffer through once we return home. Or at least that's my hope.

The trip can't come soon enough. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the 9+ hour flight, each way, with a 2.5 year old. But, I'm willing to risk it to feel the sun on my face, and sand between my toes. I'm not a sun worshipper by any means, but I need to get me some sun.  I just got my Vitamin D level tested a few weeks ago and it was so low my doctor put me on a huge dose of vitamin D. No joke, the dosage is so high you cannot buy this high of dosage over the counter!

How are you surviving the winter?
