I usually get the winter blues but haven't got them really this year (knock on wood!! lol) It's been a fantastic winter weather wise here in MB so I think that has helped!! Last year was brutally cold but this year we haven't had to stay indoors due to cold nearly as much!! That really helps

I'm sorry that you were late and didn't get to say goodbye to your kids like you would have liked today. That is very annoying especially when you told the mom that you were busy! How could she not see?? Or offer to at least help while sitting there chatting...sheesh! Some people just make you shake your head and wonder what is going on in theirs!!

Hope you are able to tell her more directly (I know it can be hard!) and that tomorrow is a better day!!
