The Hangover

I always have said the January is my least favourite month of the whole year. It is a long month 31 slow, dark and pain full days. It has the most working days out of the year, No STAT holidays, long weekends, NOTHING! You are also suffering from what I call a Holiday Hangover. December is a busy month, parties, get togethers, company, cooking, cleaning, and that goes with the holiday season. Then BAMM January and nothing....

Most think it will be a welcome relief no plans, lazy weekends, back to normal. But for me I think this month sucks. I can not wait for February!!! Here is why I think February is so much better the January.

It only has 28 days, so it is short and goes by fast! Half way through the month you have St. Valentines Day. Now if you know me I am not a typical girl and love that day. BUT I do love the fact my son is so happy to go to school and pass out his Sponge Bob Square Pants Valentines Cards. I am also excited for the fact the we always make chocolate covered strawberries and let Calder decorate his very own heart shaped cake. So far they do not look great but the taste amazing because it was made with love laughter and a ton of great memories.

I am also taking a photography class this month. To honest I have never had a burning desire to take photo's. My husband always does that, he ownes a video company and also does photography so why would I ever need to know how to take the camera off AUTO? Well maybe so when Calder looks back at his childhood he has a few GOOD pictures of him and his dad that are in focus, good colour, not too much wasted space, etc.

Then to follow that up, here in Canada we have a long weekend that is known as FAMILY DAY. However on the holiday we will be a arena for a hockey tournament, but on the Saturday I plan to take in the festival at the Lake where I grew up. They have sleigh rides on the Lake, Skating, Bonfires, Polar Dip (cut a hole in the frozen lake and stupid people go swimming in the middle of a Canadian Winter) Then at Dinner time they have a fireworks display on the ice. So it is a perfect break from the BLAH month that was January.

With the close of February it will be the rapid count down until Lacrosse season kicks off and our hot holiday to Mexico begins. Here's hoping that February is a fast one!
