Well, it is spring time here in the great northwest. That means beautiful flowers but still cold weather. It makes it feel like it isn’t spring, but on Sunday, when it was hailing, I got the first real wiff of my grape hyacinth as I walked up to my front door! Now that says spring!! They smell so good! I made Jake stop and smell them and he told me they smelled like “an old blue marker”. Ok – whatever 5 year old. Appreciate nature!! Then again, I have a picture of the cherry blossoms on my computer as my screen saver and the first time he saw it he said, “Wow! That is so pretty!” I guess I’ll cut him some slack on my beautiful spring flowers smelling like old pens.
So, it is spring and my spring cleaning is almost done. The only thing left is the toy closet which I have tried to pawn off on the girls, but Katelyn thinks it should be a WHOLE FAMILY project. We all know what that means, they help me pull everything out and then conveniently find something else to do when it comes to sorting and putting everything back. So, it is still messy. I also didn’t clean my pot lids on top of my pot rack. I figure, my mom is coming in May and she loves those jobs that I never seem to get to! 
Right, Mom?? But seriously, I have almost enjoyed doing laundry in my clean laundry room, I smile when I look up at my spiderweb-free curtains, and I found a bunch of old Creative Memories stuff that I’ve earned $80 on so far on ebay!! WooHoo!!
I took last week off and did a little scrappin’ and a little nappin’ and talked to a lot of my girlfriends on the phone and read a book. I like that better than Spring Cleaning 2009!! But now it is back to reality. Next week is spring break, so I need to become the cruise director for the kids. I am heading up and speaking/singing at our women’s spring brunch on May 9th, so I have been praying about all of that. I am doing my sis-in-laws shower in about a month, so I need to get out the invites and plan that. I have two baby gifts to make. Mother’s Day. I am making invitations for a wedding and doing the decorating for that all the while I am doing our homelife group, and attempting to do a newsletter for that, fitting in rehearsals for Easter and entering the Scrapbook Design Team contest for CraftWarehouse. I think it is time to start my monthly craft night at the church too. It makes me tired just thinking about it all! I am glad I took last week off. So……. what am I doing to prepare? I am blogging and doing laundry. Which should I stop doing now and get to work????
