Every time it snows again, I start thinking about when I'll be able to make time to shovel. At least today it started and stopped snowing fairly late, so I didn't have to feel guilty about not getting out there early in the day. In fact, I waited until Baby was down for her "bedtime nap".

I imagine that it will be immensely easier next year when I can say "let's go out and play in the snow!" rather than waiting for her to fall asleep. I'm never out there for more than 1/2 hour anyway; that's the limit of the shoveling my back can handle.
