My little paradox

Here she is. My daughter. Girly tiara on her head while making a considerably un-girly face. And in her sweats to boot.

The winter blahs

I am so ready for Spring and the nice weather! I have been so down the past few weeks and have so much less patience with the kids than usual. With daylight savings time last weekend, this week seemed a little better. Even though it is still as cold as last week, there is a "spring is in the air" feeling. It is horrible being cooped up in the house. There is really nothing to do and nowhere to go that doesn't cost money. We can only make so many trips to the library. Each day I feel guilty that the kids are watching too much tv, using the computer too much, or playing the video games but I know as soon as the air gets even a little warmer we will be hitting the park. They need the fresh air!

Every day Gavin asks me if it is Spring yet. Soon, I tell him. And when it's spring, he asks, does that mean we can swim in a pool? Not quite. But the boys are taking swimming lessons, which they love. So maybe that will quell the swimming bug for a while.

My apologies

I cannot believe I have neglected my blog this long. Here is what happens:

I never seem to have a chunk of uniterrupted time to post a blog entry.
I lie in bed at night before falling asleep and mentally compose the blog entries I would write if I did have a chunk of uniterrupted time.
When I do get a chunk of uninterrupted time, I cannot remember what it was I wanted to post about.

Sound familiar?

Now, I must go get the boys from preschool and before that I need to change Ciara as I am hoping she is done with her 45 minute pooping session.
