So ready for SPRING!

Ok, so just had to give PURPLE a springlike color to the blog today!! I wish mother nature would just hurry up and make up her mind already!! How can you deal with subzero temps one day, and 40's the next!! I can't really put up the snowsuits, hats, mittens etc, but by the time the kiddos got home today, everything was stuffed in their backpacks, coats unzipped flapping in the breeze, enjoying the sun and warmer temps! 

I am sooooo ready for SPRING to be here! I want birds chirping, flowers sprouting, leaves growing and to see GREEN again! Totally SUCKS that I won't be seeing any of the bulbs I planted at the house, or my little lilac bush bloom.  No more strawberries, or huge summer garden, or homegrown pumpkins.......sigh! Maybe my mom will let me have a little one at her house. Oh well.  We have beautiful Carosels, parks, pools and sidewalks instead to look forward to! Kids can't WAIT for swimming weather! LOL! I cant' wait for FISHING weather, bike riding with the kids, walking with my mom I hope (hint hint, Ma!) and enjoying life again!

So until then....I'll keep my stock of hot cocoa full, candles scented of cinnamon and vanilla burning, warm fleece socks and blankets at the ready! 

On a side note.....I actually have a living plant.......I know......ME!! Haven't killed it yet!! Since Christmas!! Some poor unknowing person gave me a beautiful red Poinsettia for the holidays......little did they know about my black thumb, and how plants shrivel and tremble as I pass by in stores! BUT at least I'm remembering to water the darn thing and it's still alive! 


Today's big excitement.....I sold something on Craigslist! LOL!  I am trying to get rid of a bunch of stuff the kids have outgrown and don't have room for, and figured I'd give selling them a try before just giving them to the salvation army.  Woo hoo!! Hope the rest of them sell too! That's a tank of gas baby!!! ok, so really in reality it will more likely something like a family movie nite at Redbox, but Shhhhhh don't tell!


OH YEAH! I forgot! I also got my hair cut and my first brow wax for Valentines day!! Tee hee!
