I think it has a lot to do with the season too though....
So see? I love winter! In the beginning that is....
It's THAT time of year now.... the time of year when I have already spread salt on my driveway and shoveled more times then my back cares to remember. When I go outside and come back in and my socks are wet because the snow got in my shoes! When I can feel my children bursting at the seams because they have been cooped up in a house to protect them from the cold for 3 LOOOOOONG months. I'm tired of putting on layers of clothing for myself and layering up the kids just to run out for a minute. I'm tired of looking for all the lost gloves, hats, boots, snowpants, etc. I really am tired of trying to run enough heaters in the kitchen because my dishwasher and hot water lines freeze every day it drops below 10 degrees outside. I'm realizing now that the food was a little too good during the holiday season because I'm squeezing my extra five pounds into my jeans from last summer and it does NOT feel good....
Needless to say, i think I know why my mood has been down.... I'm very much an outside kind of person and sitting in the house gets boring and makes my mood turn to blah and mush.... I'm ready for the SPRING! I'm ready to hear the birds chirping when i wake up, and feel the warm sun on my face through the window.... I'm ready to sit outside after the kids go to bed and listen to the sounds of life everywhere. I'm ready to dig in the dirt and plant my garden. I'm ready to spend the evenings out in the back yard throwing baseballs at Zak and watching Izeah and Zane go down the slide and dig in the sand (neighborhood litter) box!
SO NOW I'M TRYING TO THINK ABOUT SPRING!!!
