Where are you Spring?

{I think I can, I think I can...}

Did you see my lovely, uplifting comment on facebook yesterday? (rolling my eyes)

It's sad... but true... (name that movie)

I am running a trillion miles an hour, and when I crash in my bed at night,

or at 3am... 

I look over at Cason and say:

"Why haven't we TOUCHED our bathroom re-do in 2 months?"

or

"Weren't we going to start repainting the basement?"

lol.

Definitely NOT looking for sympathy comments here, I'm just stating the facts.

Being a "school Mom" is hard!  It's like a whole different life.

Back and forth, to and fro... Sign this paper, register this kid, get me new shoes, I have to read this book.

AH!

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my kids at this age, and wouldn't go back to the,

"Changing diapers, warming up bottles, spit-up on my carpet" phase of my life...

But I think I'm finally figuring out, that even though I THOUGHT my sweet kiddos going to school would be so much easier... it proves that...

Life never gets easier... It just changes.

LOL.  Can I get an AMEN?

okay... enough of that.

Onto some fun pictures. :)

Look who I brought home last week!

She's far from done, but she looks oh-so-purdy in her new coat of white :)

I still need to spend some time in our garage, sanding her down, and giving her some more character... then after a few coats of poly, it's onto DECORATING! whoo-hoo! :)

ps.  If you don't know me well... the "decorating part" is the actual reason that I go through the whole...

"rip it down, build it up, repaint it" crap.

Although, most of the days our garage acts as the "bike track" for freezing, snowed in kids.

lol.

Seriously, how sad is this?

my girls:  

"Mom?  Will you back your car out of the garage, so we can ride our bikes in a small circle?"

ah!  SPRING! WHERE ARE YOU!?

Riding bikes, cutting wood, and painting furniture has GOT to get done around here!

And these below freezing temps just AREN'T in the plans...!
