Today was one of those in-between days. This was a day filled with chores, last minute loose ends, and the irritability that comes with being in the house together for a week straight. Today the snow lost its crispness, and even started to melt in places. 
We are being threatened with more snow tomorrow, and I am torn between my love of the white stuff, and my desire to celebrate with our loved ones. I want it all. I want the winter wonderland and the ability to travel. I was gauche enough to suggest having our Christmas Eve dinner at my Mom's during the day, so we could get home before the roads froze up. I was universally denounced as a Christmas heretic.
