I Admit............

I will admit.................

#1. Every day I sign Gracie's "Weekly Calendar".  It's a way for Mrs. Bonderer (Gracie's teacher) to communicate with her student's parents.  She usually draws a happy face each day.  On this day, though, she wrote a little note.  

I will admit that I pretty much knew that!!!!

#2. These geese were the latest critters to visit our pond.  I'm beginning to feel like I'm running a Holiday Inn.  

I will admit that they were enjoying their stay until I started creeping forward with my camera.  I will also admit that I do not feel guilty for disturbing them because I got a nice photo of them.

#3. I've been noticing more and more robins in the past few weeks.

Robins mean Spring.  

Spring means I am not so grumpy. 

 When I'm less grumpy, the husband and children are pleasant.  

Pleasant husband and children mean I cook more desserts.  

More desserts mean more trips to Wal-mart.

Wal-mart makes me grumpy again.

I'm grumpy until I see the robin on the Wal-mart shopping cart.

Robins mean Spring.

Spring means I am not so grumpy.

Get the idea?

I will admit that I am at Wal-mart FAR too much! 

HURRY, Miss. Spring!!!!!

I'm craving pastels and sweet smelling tulips.  

I'm craving warm black soil and seedling tomato plants

I'm craving short sleeve shirts, shorts and flip flops.

I've been noticing that when I'm creating lately, I've gravitated towards brighter colors.  I've also noticed that my buttons, glitter and paints have been here all Winter.  Yet, I've only recently noticed them.

This is a layout of Gracie and her Grandpa Larry.  

I love this picture.

I love the "why" in my journaling.

Since nature is not cooperating with my wishes, I purchased a $5 shamrock.  

It is providing my family room with much needed color.  

It is reminding me that Spring is around the corner.

It is helping me get out of this funk that I've been in lately.
