Snow Daze

It is past my comprehension that there is a global warming crisis.  While glaciers may be melting somewhere on a computer generated movie, it is cold enough in Telluride to freeze fire.  Just walking across the street causes the snot in your nose to freeze all the way into your cerebral cortex.  Yes, it is beautiful in the mountains with all the snow glistening in the sun, but that is the BIG deception.  Beautiful does not make one warm and right now - I need WARM.  I can not believe it is only the middle of February, which means approximately two and a half more months of sub freezing temperatures and chance of snow on a daily basis.  What, of what, am I to do.  I'll tell you what I am to do - find a hot tub (anyone's will do), climb in with my thermals on, and read War and Peace from cover to cover.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Single parenthood

Ever wonder why it takes two to create a baby?  Because parents are supposed to come in pairs.  Single parenting is for people who have money to hire other people to take care of their children!!  I am not one of those people.  I am a person who enjoys peace and quiet during long evening car rides and a long hot bath on occasional nights, while reading something other than princess stories.  This, however, is not my reality.  Single parenthood is akin to running a marathon in a blizzard with a 50 pound backpack strapped on to your front.  I would like to request a change of life  - is that possible?  I love my children - a lot.  But honestly, why do teachers give homework to children with only one parent - it is NOT FAIR.  I do not know why paying attention to the details will give you a better idea of the main topic, nor do I care.  And since my third grader also does not know or care, what is the point???  Okay, I have completely digressed.  The point is:  I want my husband back!!!!
