Lest You Think I Exaggerate

I had to break out the early-winter parkas today to go to the playground - not the heavy-duty, snow-on-the-ground parkas, true, but winter parkas nonetheless.  Also, while we were there, I found a pair of mittens in the car and gladly put them on the baby's hands because, after ten minutes of holding onto metal swing chains, they were turning blue.  And none of this would be worthy of any note, except that it is MAY SECOND and there's just something fundamentally wrong about putting mittens on your kid on MAY SECOND. 

Also, I had to take the facking rubber sheet off the bed for laundering AGAIN.  I just got done wrestling it back onto the bed and I swear I tore a lat.  At least, I think it's a lat. It's been so long since I've done anything remotely resembling organized exercise, I've forgotten what a "lat" is.  I swear, I'm just going to wrap the whole damn mattress in Saran Wrap and be done with it.

I walked back from our neighbors today wearing two t-shirts (layered), a fleece vest AND a giant fleece sweatshirt that is my husband's (neighbor had borrowed it to bike home, remember?, and was returning it, so I actually put it on because I was so cold.)
I hope the toddler and baby don't have frostbite!

Anyway, I'm tagging you for a meme. Please see my blog for an explanation. 6 quirky things about me (that I tag people for memes?)

BTW, I had a great time on your Spring Break! We should do that stuff more often!
