"Bless me father for I have snowed"

Is anybody else tired of the snow?I hate to be a Negative Nancy but I certainly am. I ache for the spring breezes in my hair and the warm sun on my face. Two short days ago I heard some singing birds and when I scouted them out I located 4 cardinals singing merrily by my rabbit hutch and all seemed quite perfect with the world. Now it's white outside and it looks like March is really still arriving whether I acknowledge it or not.
Remember when you were in grade school and pinkie swearing that neither you or your best friend would tell that you prayed to the snow-god for a day of foul weather (hence a day off from school?) Being raised Catholic my mother always reminded me that praying to false gods was a sin so if i got caught it meant a trip to confession on Friday and well thinking back that poor priest must have been crazy in the winter months. Imagine all the kids of the 60's lining up on Friday afternoon. "Bless me father I have sinned it has been a month since my last confession". I got down on my hands and knees and with all my heart prayed for a blizzard. I don't think it ever really worked, but I certainly did confess each and every time we did it and Father Russo did give me an act of constrictions to repent.
Perhaps that wasn't enough, perhaps the Karma in all of this is we get what we ask for and here it is. Sorry everybody, it's probably all my fault. Lets just hope the god of snow has a sense of humor and spreads it out over a period of time, like amortizing a debt. Pinkie swear I am not praying for anymore,but it was nice to enjoy an extra like-saturday day of snuggeling in !
