First day of Spring.....or Winter?....can't decide

Well here I sit in my apartment...Salma on my lap and Sagey by my side SNOWED IN. Its hard to believe that yesterday it was almost 50 degrees and we saw grass everywhere finally. Wisconsin weather is NOT different from New England (back home they used to say we could go through all four seasons in a single day....) However in WI i think that the boycott Plowing. and if they do plow the do not do it soon enough. I commute 15 minutes to work everyday (with good weather) this morning it took me over an hour to get into the office, turned around 2 hours later to come home and it took almost an hour and a half to get home safely...which my I add could not pull into my driveway. So as the small ice balls pelted against April and I's faces we dug the snow from around my car and some how got the car into the back lot. I called my landlord (yes we're still renting...) and asked that he have a plow come through as the snow drifts in the back of the lot are not allowing me to pull the car into the garage....the man he had come did not plow the driveway nearly enough and completely ignored the problem which is the portion in back of our garage door.

I swear this "winter" can not be over fast enough. I would rather own my own home where I am in control of the snow removal and I can by a nice snow blower to plow out my driveway.

You may be wondering why I wouldn't just shovel myself out...well I have in the past. I have missed days of work and also been late because of the inability to drive out of the driveway...this after spending hours trying to dig myself out. Snow removal is covered in our lease and also being advertised in the vacant unit above us (we live in a quaint quadraplex) So I think its the landlords responsibility to take care of it.

Annnnny way....my point to this blog....I hope this snow goes away fast, I am longing for days of Capri's, flippers, and no bundling up.

HERES TO SPRING!
