Winter is approaching and I seriously do not like it. I woke up today and there was a heavy frost on the ground. I debated just driving down to the school, but I honestly think by the time I get the car warmed up, the littler 2 in their car seats, and get down there only to find that parking is half way up the street...That it is just much easier to bundle the babies up in the stroller and walk. I've timed it before, and driving is actually about 5 minutes longer to get home because I can't turn at the school, and would have to circle out of my way to get home easily. And like I said, parking seriously sucks.
So anyway. Normally the 2 yr old walks and holds the side of the stroller. Today was really bitter, and she's slower on the cold days. I bundled them both up into the double stroller, grabbed my coat and we were off. I think I am going to need some warm pants because my jeans made me feel like I was walking down there without pants. And I'm sure I was wearing pants. Thankfully for the eyes of all those who passed. HA. The little 2 didn't seem to mind it all bundled up, but Kristopher complained that his cheeks were getting cold. I'm not sure how to handle the colder weather yet. Anyone else have thoughts on that? Just curious if I'm the only one who feels freezing for 10 minutes is easier than the hassle of getting the car ready....
Another plus to the situation is I got a nice workout pushing that giant stroller. On the way home I walked faster and my legs now burn. God knows I need to walk like that more.
That would be another reason why I don't want winter to come. I am scared how fat I'll end up this winter. I've gained back a lot in the past year. Enough that my nicer clothes that I got last fall, do not fit at all this year. I know for me it has a lot to do with my mood and my frame of mind. Mentally, I'm weird lately. Out of it. Hard to explain. I guess it's all the changes in the past few months, and now I'm trying to find out where I stand in this busy crazy world I've created.....I need to find something to do for me, so that I can be totally happy again. I need to get back on track with healthier eating, lose weight again, and just feel healthier.
And I won't even get started on the whole baby subject today. But that is back in my head pretty fierce lately, but I do not feel like dealing with all those doctor appts and that drama again. I just don't have it in me to do it all right now.
And I'm going to close with a new picture....My new friend from the school took this picture of me and Kristopher last Friday. His school had a special breakfast date thing for kids where they could bring their mom's in and we had muffins. It's the first picture of me and him in a long time because either I'm the one behind the camera, or I avoid it like crazy because I am a total mess at the time. (that's a lot anymore) He cracks me up.

I don't have any advice on what to do about the cold. I think your only choices are to be cold or deal with parking. We have some "walking school buses" around here and once it turns cold they stop doing it and the real bus takes over.
