Please!! No one Startle the Groundhog!!

Welcome February!  A month where the cold just blasts against you each time you walk out the door.  Unless you have a remote car starter, you are one of the unlucky ones just as myself who has to RUSH out and start the car and give is a good 15-20 minutes to get the windshield defrosted & the interior warmed up enough so you don't shiver while trying to steer.  Yes, there have been a few times where I've had to just race out the door with the kids and hop in the car with the windshield pure frost.  I end up trying to squirt it off with the windshield washer/wipers to no avail!  So, I end up being one of those ones who is peeking through a tiny patch of clear window to make it across town to Nicholas' school!!  Thankfully, I've been able to remember and go out to get things rolling!

Tomorrow being February 2nd, it is once again, Groundhog Day.  In all honesty, I never give it a thought until you look in the paper the next day to see a picture of an ungodly amount of people hovered around this hole waiting for the poor little beastie to make it's grand outing.  He probably never sees it coming... He wakes up in the morning, has a nice cuppa joe to accompany his breakfast that his wife has prepped for him.  He then goes and brushes his teeth and fluffs his fur.  (Or is it hair?)  He gives his wife & kids a hug and kiss and lets them know he'll be home for supper.  Out of the hole he goes, just to be greeted by thousands of flashes from the paparazzi!!  He doesn't even have a nano-second before he dashes back into his hole, slams the door and bolts!! "That's it!! I am NOT leaving this place for another six weeks!!"


I'm off to bed for now.... I'm dreaming of an early Spring!!
