In like a Lion, Out like a lamb

Well Spring is here, or is it? I like to tell my preschool kids that Spring and Winter are fighting and that Winter is tuff to fight with.. On occasion Spring gets to show its face, but for right now Winter is winning. We make a game out of who is winning for the day. Really no other way to explain to the kids why it is "Spring." but blizzarding.. lol

I myself just want this icky winter weather over. Those few sunny days are so beautiful. I actually found myself opening the windows and airing out the house on days when the temps were 40. It felt like a heat wave.. lol

Now I am looking out the window and seeing nothing by snow. 6-12 inches may fall, and I am just dreading that. I hate having to shovel my self out. So frustrating. These are the days when I really wish I was married or living with a man... Shoveling is not a passion of mine.. Ralph if you can hear me over there in Kenmare... I miss you, and would love for you to shovel for me.. That is if you can ever get here.. Stinken snow.. lol

So aside from the weather, life is going well. Ralph and I are getting so extremely close that it is really feeling like the real thing. hmm, thinking I may just be falling hard for the boy. :) awwwwwwwwwwww Wont be long now until we may go to the next level.. Knock on wood. I dont want to jinx it. :)

The kids are doing well. Micaela is growing like a weed, and it seems like we are always buying clothes for her. She still enjoys going to councelling every other Tuesday to vent, so as long as that helps her fantastic.

Bethany has been something of a pill. She just likes to cling to my hip and it is hard to even do a thing without her. It has been a struggle, and it doesn't seem to be getting better, but we are working on it.

Grant is doing well in school and is the most lovable kid... Cant complain abit about that little guy.

Community action weatherization just completed a $8,000 upgrade to my home. They insulated it, put new windows in, and many many other things to make this house warmer and more energy efficiant. They were here over 2 weeks, and were such great people. We love our new doors and windows. It has really helped our fuel costs. They have one window left to put in the bathroom, but that require tearing a portion of the wall out, so they are waiting for some nicer weather.

We have redone the basememt. It has been painted and we are awaiting carpet. The plan is to take the carpet on main floor and put in basement. Then either refinish the hard wood on main floor or put new carpet. Only time will tell I guess. I am slowely getting every room painted on main floor, so I have been painting for weeks.. lol

My health seems to be ok. I have gained some weight and am working hard on getting back on track. I joined the gym again, but I just dont have any energy. I went to Dr. Tong yesterday and they are doing a pannel of tests to see if things are ok. I just dont feel good and on the days I do feel good it is almost like a high. Doesn't last long. Just tierd and run down. I guess we just wait to see what the tests come back and say.

I am also having trouble with my Merena IUD. They cant find it, so I have to go in tomorrow morning at 7:30 and have a camera inserted to see where it is. Oh Joy!!!

Well, that is a short little recap of things. Hope the rest of this crazy spring calms down and we start to seeing more of that lamb than the lion...

Take care

Sioux Game

Grant is so passionate about sports, as I think most boys r. We always have to have some kind of sports on while he is here. Hockey is his sport of choice for the moment. Ralph and I decided to surprise him with hockey tickets. They were kind of expensive because of our lucky 7th row from ice, but it was so worth it and Grant loved every minute of it.. Oh ya, and Ralph did too...

It was so much fun.... I love my favorite guys...

Micaela celebrated her 7th birthday party. We went all out and had a luau party in hopes that the weather would follow our lead. Sadely it didn't, but the party was a true success, and we had a great turn out.
