Make it end

Remember the movie Groundhog's Day? When someone asks Bill Murry for his prediction concerning winter he says "It is going to dark, it's going to be cold and it is going to last you the rest of your life". That is exactly how I feel. I am so sick of winter. I want warmth and sunshine. I want to be able to sleep under one blanket instead of curled up under 3 layers every night. I want to cuddle up in a blanket and watch TV because it is fun, not because I am freezing my butt off. I want to drink hot chocolate because it tastes good, not because I need to warm up. I want to take my baby for a walk and have to worry about sunscreen rather than bundling him up. I want to wear flip-flops and capris and short sleeves. I want to have to stress about how white my legs are and wonder who is going to mow the lawn that is so long we can't find the cat (ok, I don't have a cat). I want to plant flowers and lay on the grass staring at the clouds. Oh, winter, please, just go away.
