Today a high of -5

8am-So I thought yesterday was cold....at least it warmed up yesterday to be above 0 at some point durning the day. Today's high is -5, and it was -11 when i woke up.
Having a car starter when you live in Vermont is a LUXURY, but today has proven to be too cold for even that to work.
Last year at this time I was  39weeks pregnant and waiting....... the week my little Sophia was born it was -15 to -20 everyday, durning the day!!
 I am not sure if you know this but I have horses, and let me say this it is a LOT of work to care for them in the winter. Everything is frozen, although we have a heater for our 100 gallon water tank, for some reason it was not in the tank until after the baby was born.

 When baby Sophia was coming, that wonderful 48hour labor I had, her sister Izzy was home caring for all the animals, 4 horses, 3 dogs, 2 cats while attending high school. She is a superstar!
So anyway, the freaking cold.........
I have a Bernese Mountain dog that would rather be inside in this weather.

this is Marshel in his 1st year, he is the cutest thing ever, he is now 4

I love Vermont don't get me wrong but I am not sure I signed up for this. Why can't Winter share more time with Summer, or Spring, or even Fall. Let's make things a little more even, what do you say?
At least we can look forward to the low tonight of -22 degrees
So on the agenda for me today....stay inside ;)
How do you deal with the cold?

Winter Day brrrr

Getting ready on a -1 degree day takes some planning.... but with a baby well that is another story. the clothes the snowsuit (which i never put on my baby in the carseat, YEAH right), the hat, which doesn't make it out the door on her head, the boots....ok i forgot the boots in the car, so they are far to cold to put on these little squirmy toes......25 minutes late we are off. Only to listen to my baby cry for the 7 minutes I force her in the car to drive to babysit two little kids.
Oh the fun it is to be a mom again over 40!
 I am tired.....
Having kids when I was younger (a kid myself) seemed easier, or was it that I was just so dumb to know how tired i really was?  Oh well, what does it matter now, I certainly am not going to continue to think about it when i could be taking a nap, :)
My 20 year old daughter just messaged me on FaceBook asking me what I was up to..... my answer, oh you know stay at home mom stuff, in reality not at lot, but somehow it takes ALL day to do!!
please know that I am not saying that stay at home moms do not do anything all day...but god does it feel like it day after day after day.
what is your schedule like?
