Weather Identity Crisis

We need to put an end to this horrible climate change problem we're having. The weather in the Pacific Northwest, usually just gray and rainy is having a major identity crisis. Wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow!?!?! I mean, really? Snow? WTF?

Our poor little tulips and daffodils are trying to bloom and the skies keep dumping snow down on their freezing little bulbs.

Thing One's first tennis match is today...IN THE SNOW!!!!! Um, no, not watching tennis in the snow. Yes, I'll play the bad mom card today. We're all allowed a few bad parent moments, aren't we?

Please, reuse, reduce, recycle. Your footprint is too big for my PNW weather. In a couple years, I will be living in a tundra like climate. I'm not meant for the tundra. I'm meant for the sun with sporadic months of rain intermixed!

Think of the polar bears!!

Al Gore, I'm begging you, get your earth saving ass in higher gear!
God, stop toying with us, we get it, we're bad excessive people. Lesson learned!
And all of you who don't believe in climate change, get your heads out of your arses!! It's real. I'm feeling its wrath!!!
Ellen, Oprah, read my book!!! (sorry, I digress)

For the love of all that's good and pure, give me some effin' sun!!!

The elements: Air

I thank the rain for subsiding yesterday morning, but was it necessary to replace it with a typhoon.  Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but come on, what is this?  Adverse weather week in Tacoma, WA?

I appreciate the fact that without you I will die, like water, but when you kick it into high gear, you're kind of destructive and annoying.

The wind knocked two panels off my greenhouse yesterday putting all my poor tomatoes, basil, melons, and marigolds in jeopardy. 

It stung just walking from the car to the grocery store.  Yes, hindsight I wouldn't have worn the mini skirt, but the sun was shining so it was too tempting and misleading.

My kids called for a ride home from soccer practice three blocks away, it was blowing so hard .  Their skin was so cold when they got home because they did not put their sweatshirts on and I refused to pick them up because I already had dinner cooking. (what is it with kids and outerwear anyway?) 

At least unlike the rain you didn't keep my up all night.  I think you may have actually helped me sleep (or maybe it was overtired delirium from being kept up all night the night before).
