February

Okay, so Puxatawney Phil and Gen'l. Beau Lee do not agree on the timeliness of Spring! This is why I live in the South where groundhogs have the good sense NOT to see their own shadows and predict the stalling of the coming of Spring! Thank goodness Spring will be here soon - hey, the General has only been wrong something like 7% of the time he's been predicting the arrival. I'd say that's better odds than most weathermen with college degrees in meteorology!

We had a busy weekend. Why is that? I want to just sleep all day Saturday, get up and go to church and Sunday school on Sunday morning and then, go back to sleep for the rest of the day Sunday but I have never yet gotten to do this. Why do you suppose that is? Oh, let's see. My kids are BUSY and cannot yet drive so, they insist that I drive them the 12 miles into town for whatever activity they have going. Really, they couldn't walk? It would be great exercise. Then, once I am up I no longer feel guiltless to sleep all day and I start doing laundry and yard work and house cleaning. And as for Sunday, I am too wide awake and alert after 2 hours at church to climb back into bed immediately upon my return home but, I do sometimes manage to catch an afternoon nap, unless Hannah has Youth Choir or Claire decides she forgot a report or project and needs: poster board, markers, Valentine Day cards, apple juice or something else or we get invited to be sociable and go over to a friend's house for a birthday party. Then I really feel too guilty to take a nap. Don't get me wrong. Once I am up and moving, I am very glad for all that I get done but, one of these days... zzzzzz for an entire weekend!
