A mom's daily struggle with work, play, and a crazy toddler.

The Worst Season

Now that it's October, my social media outlets are getting flooded with weirdos praising Fall. Nothing in life infuriates me more than people professing their love for "sweater weather". I obviously live in the wrong region, so maybe I'm the crazy one, but what is so exciting and fun about being trapped, literally stuck inside your house, in 2 feet of snow? Nothing.

I am one of those freaks that are always cold (however, I'm not as bad as my sister). As in, I have a sweater on when it's 72 degrees out. Thus, I really, really hate the cold weather, and in fact- would unofficially diagnose myself with seasonal depression. It's worse this year, since I have an actual toddler to entertain, and my main form of brightening his day was to bring him outside and let him run around like a madman. I know he will still want to play outside, but I cannot tolerate the cold, so it should be a fun battling of wills. Spoiler alert: he will win. He just will.
Can't say no to this face

I also hate pie.
The thought of pie just makes me CRINGE

 Call me a terrorist. All these people are like "yay, it's pie season". Wtf does that even mean? There's a season to eat pie? You can't eat that shit year-round? The only pies I like are non-pies, like chocolate peanut butter pie, and pecan pie, which is basically pure sugar on a plate. Also, pumpkin pie, which brings me to my next point:

The only Fall praise I can give is to the reintroduction of everything pumpkin. Let me list all the delicious ways you can eat pumpkin: pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, Joy's pumpkin cheesecake brownie bars, Joy's pumpkin shakes (mom- this is a not-so subtle hint to please make these again this year), pumpkin bagels, pumpkin muffins... Need I go on? 

So all in all, expect me to like you a little bit less (or a lot less) if you say anything about how yesterday, when it was 79 degrees out and beautiful, that you were miserable and wanted cold weather instead. Or if you say anything about how you like snow. Snow is the devil. I wouldn't mind if it never snowed, and yes, that includes Christmas.
How am I supposed to wear this hat though? 

Basically, I need to move to California. Bye, bitches. 

In other news, this weekend was pretty uneventful. I cleaned, Dave and I had some friends over, and I worked. Wait, no, the only eventful part was the Colts' win yesterday over the Seahawks.

 Usually, I get excited when they win (obviously), but it was even better yesterday because the game was actually aired locally. THIS NEVER HAPPENS. Why? Because of the damn Buffalo Bills. Again, reasons why I need to move to a different geological area: The Bills suck only slightly less than the annoyance of Bills' fans. Done, I said it.

What do you love/hate about the fall & colder weather?

Are you a Bills fan? If so, leave this blog and never come back.

  1. I do love fall weather, mostly because I enjoy having an excuse not to leave the house. I'm a hermit. I admit it.

  2. LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS POST. Why does it feel like everyone is going on and on about fall more than usual this year? They need to stop it. I am also ALWAYS cold, and unfortunately moving to California does not remedy this - it is still cold here in SF. :)

  3. Oh dear. I love fall and the Buffalo Bills. Can we still go to the pumpkin patch or do I need to find a new mom friend?

  4. I agree with everything in this post. Why would you want to need a sweater when you could wear a sundress? The only good thing about cold is running. The only other thing I don't agree with is pumpkin bagels. Bagels should be salty. But as for Joy's pumpkin cream cheese brownies and pumpkin shakes...yes. I would like to see those make an appearance next weekend :)

  5. I would agree with everything on this post except that I live in Arizona, and after getting brutally punished in the summer, we are awarded with the 80 degree temps and cool breezes of Fall. So yes, Im glad its Fall haha. Sweater weather isnt until November/Decemer. I hate snow (hence why we havent left Az), I love everything pumpkin, and I am forced to be a Bills fan by you know who. Other than that, I agree with everything haha.
