This blog post from 'this day' in 2014 made me smile. It was on an old blog I no longer use, so I thought I'd move it over here:

Ah, the long days of winter.
After the absolutely horrifying drought we had in 2012 I swore that I would not complain about the snow – which is so necessary to prevent another summer dry spell. I do not complain about it that much anyway because get this, I am aware of the fact that I live in the northern United States! lol
This year, however, is testing my limits. I tend to keep my kiddos away from group activities during the brunt of flu season, I tend to stay in when there is more ice than traction, and I tend to enjoy the wintery white from the view out my window or play days in the yard. All of those things add up to some serious cabin fever! lol
So this year – this fresh, crisp, brand-spanking-new 2014 has consisted mostly of talk about “polar vortex” and trying to freeze-proof the house against the sub-zero temps the vortex brings.
Today calls for something different, though. Some more physical activity than we’ve been getting.
Perhaps a dance party to oldies? That is ALWAYS a fave! I’m sure we knock a little white dust off of the roof with our near-yell volume singing along.
Maybe today calls for a water fight in the bathtub! Nothing makes the kiddos happier than splashing the entire room and soaking their mother with watery antics.
We could always have a 2 minute anything goes jump on the bed party. Those are a big hit, too, especially when the two littles go bouncing and rolling when Mommy takes a turn.
Whatever this day calls for – be it a mini-marathon set up around the living room and down the hall, or a speed round of hip hop dancing, or even noisy karaoke in the living room – it calls for some life.
What do you do on those cold, dreary, it-has-been-too-long wintery days?
