Fall is here :(

Fall is usually my favorite time of year, but this year I'm sad to see the days get shorter. Maybe it's because I stay at home now and cold weather means more time spent indoors. And coats, hats, mittens and the extra time it takes to get out the door when we do want to leave the house. Everything takes longer with a toddler. I think I've finally come to terms with this fact. I don't expect to accomplish much when Josiah is awake. Maybe I have low expectations. . . I just know that if I expect more of myself, I just end up feeling like a failure. Anyway, I'm a bit nervous about my first winter back in MN in four years. I don't feel like we had much of a transition from the heat of summer to the chill of fall. It seems we went from 80s to 50s overnight. What ever happened to the 60s and 70s? The sad thing is I know that 50 will feel like summer come March/April. Here's to hoping that the army sends us to Hawaii some day. . .
