After weeks of illness and a couple of out-of-town trips, I am finally back. I must say it feels good to be healthy and back on my normal schedule again. Who would have thought that I would become a creature of habit? Craziness I tell you, shear craziness.
Not only am I back and feeling good, but the weather has been all kinds of fabulous over the past few days. We are getting little glimpses of the spring that is just around the corner. Yesterday I took the kids to the park, and all three of us took our coats off. I just sat there and told myself to enjoy it because I had been waiting for a non-coat day for awhile now. It was as wonderful as I imagined it would be.
Other signs spring is almost here:
1. I am in full blown gardening mode.
2. Some sweet friends of mine, who are moving, gave me a lawn mower. I am unreasonably excited to use it.
3. Mermaid is talking about Spring Break and Easter dresses. And shoes. She must have a new pair of shoes.
4. I’m using the sunroof on my car every chance I get.
5. All of the songs on my iPod are suddenly upbeat and happy.
6. I have to stop myself from buying flowers every time I go to a produce stand or grocery store.
7. I am only looking at summer-y crochet patterns these days.
8. The snow is almost gone!
I was almost afraid to write that last one. I’m scared I’ll read the news only to find out that we have another 42″ of the white stuff heading our way. I have faith though. Rain, yes. Snow, no.

Adoring the look of these. Prissy yet fun.
Reading this blog and loving each word.
Looking forward to going here,
And here.
Wanting to bake these.
Supposed to be making this and this (Rav link) for the Ravelyimpics, but neither is even started much less finished.
Fallen in love with the New Amsterdams all over again.

First, there was the snow. Lots and lots of snow. Then, there was the crazy hectic weekend of Girl Scout cookie booth sales and church functions. It was all fun and wonderful, but I felt like I was running from Friday morning until Sunday night! Next, came the kids. They were sick. At the same time. Need I say more? And now I am coughing and feeling tired and achy. In a few minutes I am going to take a nap myself.
Before said nap, I want to thank Kat over at Slugs on the Refrigerator for the lovely package she sent me. I’ll post a picture my goodies tomorrow, but take my word for it, everything is wonderful.
I also want to thank Laurie over at Lorenzo Knits a Tomato for the very awesome bookmark she sent as part of a swap I’ve joined. (Picture of bookmark also forthcoming.) Laurie, it is already being put to good use!
Time for that nap. I’m going to need all the energy I can muster. Tonight I am taking Mermaid to a Girl Scout dance. I’ll have camera in hand as I watch my girl strut her stuff with the rest of her troop.
Night all!
