Cold.

I have done very well this winter keeping a positive attitude. Not complaining. Enjoying the moment of winter. This week I am DONE! It has been SOOO cold here. NZ has been on world news talking about it's cold weather. My house is cold. My family is cold. I want swimsuits and summer!!!!!

Why people here think it is normal to be cold in your house is beyond me. I am not sure that they think it is normal as much as it is all they know. I am constantly reminded that we don't have it that bad and to get over myself. Our power bill was RIDICULOUS!!! (what floor heaters that suck energy and money right out from under you will do) But at the end of the day we live at the beach. We have food. We have water. We have warm (albeit at the price of gold!) beds. It truly is more than most have. AAAAAHHHHH okay my bad attitude is over.

Summer is literally around the corner. I feel like sprinting to Summer, not running a marathon of winter. It's so close I can taste it...I can taste the popsicles, the cool sea air, the sweat on my shoulders as I play in the sand with Max, the cold Diet Coke, the crashing of waves, the BBQ's, the bubbles, chai soy frappaccinos, the ice cream....the sounds, smells and sights of summer...they are coming! Until then how cute is my bundled up boy?!?!? His faces say it all!!!!!
