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.

Me too, I want spring. We keep getting teased with warm weather that changes back to cold.
