This is not my life.
I never thought I'd live anywhere but Florida. Moving to Orlando was already a bit of a stretch for me. It gets relatively cold in Orlando... like lows in the 30's for a few weeks.
The term "White Christmas" does not compute for me. My Christmases have always been tank tops, flip flops and palm trees. And I Love It! But sure, maybe snow ON CHRISTMAS would be ok... but that's it!
We moved to Greenville 2 years ago. Since the move, winters have gotten a bit easier. My blood has thickened a little. But that said, winters are still a HUGE P.I.T.A! This is what I hate: put on the jacket, gloves, scarf, hat... run to the car and blast the heater... then when you get anywhere, they too have the heat on so it's OFF with the jacket, gloves, scarf and hat. And you have to do that for EVERY outing. Not so bad if you're by yourself, but now in my case, multiply that by 3.
Getting a toddler to put his jacket on and keep his hat on is sometimes tricky. And getting the kids strapped into their car-seats takes madd skillz. I literally have to squeeeeze Marco into his seat while strapping over his puffy jacket.
This morning it was 18 degrees outside... EIGHTEEN! What?! That's way too cold for December. What's going to happen in January and Febuary... our "cold months"? I don't even want to know. As of now, I'm dreaming of warmer weather. Weather that does not require boots, heaters and layers. We'll be in Miami in less than 2 weeks to celebrate a "Warm Christmas". I can not wait!
Here's what my babies look like all bundled up. So cute... but still a pain.

hmmm... ok I won't complain... BUT. I've had to cover up my tomato plants with a trash bag for the past two nights and hope that they don't freeze and die... they're starting to look all sad and limpy :-(
And I hate to be the one to kill the hope... but I would bring those Jackets over if I were you... LOL!
Can't wait to see you guys!!!!
