SPRING

Some people, probably most people (no I do not have statistical data to reference) like spring.  In fact I know many people that eagerly await the arrival of spring every year. I am not one of these people.  I have many reasons that I don't like spring, I am not going to lie, they vary from really good reasons, to lame selfish reasons.  They exist and they are valid, but I'm trying.  So, as I enter the worst time of year, to be followed by the second worst time of year, or what other people call summer, I am trying to be happy.  Here are some reasons that I found to help me try to like spring.

1.  I now have a metal roof.  This means that when the winds hit 90 plus miles per hour (I wish I were exaggerating) I don't have to worry about shingles blowing off of my house.

2.  My son and I planted heirloom carrots.  We are actually excited to grow them, eat them, and make carrot cake.

3.  There is a bird nest, with eggs, in the broken part of the trim on my house.  This means that I can't fix it right now!

4.  I'm already done with the girls' Easter dresses for the year.  This means that I might have time to make myself a new dress.  I haven't done this in over three years and I'm getting excited.

5.  The main reason that I'm enjoying spring is that my youngest is now two and he's starting to really get this potty thing.  I'm actually seeing the possibility of a future without diapers.  That's probably another entry altogether.

I hope this helps the one other person in the world that doesn't like spring.  For those of you who do like spring, enjoy it while it lasts.  It will be winter again in about seven months.  I will be counting down the days...
