How do they DO it?

How do people who live up north get ANYTHING done in the winter? It is cold and dreary and raining outside, and all I want to do is curl up under a blanket for the afternoon. To be honest, I did that for a while with my favorite small boy who had a headache and wanted to take a nap with mommy...who can refuse that? We were joined by a mamma cat and her kitten, and we were all toasty warm. So warm, in fact, that my small boy told me when he woke up that his "man parts" (his words, not mine) were sweaty...Oh. MY. Just another reminder that he won't be my small boy for much longer.
