Long Cold Winter

Have you ever felt the need for warm weather, craved basking in the sun? This pattern of cold, snow, ice, more cold, more snow is getting pretty old, it is currently 4 degrees below zero AGAIN and Mark just informed me we are to have actual temps of negative 18 next week! I need to drive in to Peoria to pick up Israel around 6:00 am and should get out there to start the car but the thought of stepping out the door is causing my mind to scream, "No, NO, NO don't go out there!" I keep repeating to myself January is almost gone, February is a short month and surely we will get warm days in March so just hold on. I can't say this out loud, Mark is quick to respond with, "don't wish your life away."
