I think we may have taken charity a little to far....

As most of you know, my best friend has MS. She was diagnosed the first year we started teaching together (about 2 1/2 years ago) and is doing well. Every year we walk in the MS Walk in Springfield to raise money and this year we may have taken it a little far....
Saturday morning we get up and it is raining and cold (42 degrees). It is early and it is Saturday so I am crabby! I get Jenna dressed to go to Grammie's, she was going to ride in the stroller but it is too cold. Then I start getting ready and J is being sooooooo sllloooowwww! It is stressing my already crabby butt out. SO I b*tch at him for taking to long and for wearing to many layer (because he is going to b*tch about the heat being on in the truck). We finally get in the truck, 1o minutes late, and I have to run back in for an umbrella. While J is getting his SNOW clothes and I b*tch at him some more. We drop Jenna off an head north, I am still secretly thinking what a waste of time it was for J to get all that snow crap. So I preface the pictures with the following words-3 MILE WALK, NO SNOW CLOTHES FOR ME, WET SHOES, & HYPOTHERMIA (okay maybe that last one is taking it a little to far!).

The Snow as the temp drops 10 degrees between home and Springfield.

Mandy & Christian walking behind us in the snow and rain.

Me wearing J's hat after the walk-yes the hat I was b*tching about him taking to long to get is the only thing that kept my ears from falling off!

J in his snow gear & I am sure he as AT LEAST 10 degrees warmer than me.

The moral of this story is: We raised a lot of money for MS and J is a much better person than me because after as much as I b*tched about him taking so long and wearing so many layers, I would have let my butt freeze (but he shared all his warm things with me!)!

Too funny. A little crow tastes good once in a while. I have had my share because I do a lot of b******g myself! :)
Looks like fun. Wish I could have been there. NOT!
