The Best Laid Plans...



Never survive implementation. I had planned to take the little people out to the park today to feed the ducks. I figured that since we had been literally trapped in our house due to the ice, we could all use a bit of fresh air and change of scenery. What the hell was I thinking???? A toddler and a preschooler on a short walk to the lake on a day that was 36 degrees and had melting slush on the grass. It sure did look pretty, but it was an abysmal failure. The ducks were no where to be found (although there were duck tracks in the show!)

, so the little people fed the 'virtual' ducks (threw the bread in the water). By then it was getting to be a bit to cold, the wind wasn't blowing hard, but enough to make it a bit cold on exposed skin. Cabbage Patch baby kept pulling her hat off, Super Girl kept stomping in patches of slush, mommy kept telling them to come on... *sigh* So back home we go, Super Girl starts whineing... the whole way home, lagging behind, telling me she was cold, whine, whine, whine... Oh well... I tried... Maybe next week it will be dry and the DUCKS will be back.
