Home Sweet Simple Home
Spring Sprung or just my mind?
Ah, it is offically spring. And what do we have- freezing cold rain. Yahoo.Gloomy day and it seems that the coffee just won't kick in. No one was motivated to move at more than a turtle sprint this morning.
Mr. Conductor ate his breakfast and then promptly ran into the living room to hop on the couch, lay down and pull his blanket up over himself. Ah, just how I felt.
I have to say though- that last nite was the first nite in a week that no one interrupted my beauty sleep. No one cried out, fell out of bed, coughed on and on and on and needed medicine, no one's tummy or head hurt- none, nada just quiet bliss. And still I feel groggy. Gotta be this weather.
I'm looking for those warmer temperatures. You know the days that it just creeps up- warmer and warmer and you find yourslef sitting out on the porch swing in the late afternoon, swinging and reading the mail and thinking "oh how nice this is." The days where you have to call the kids in because it's too dark out and you dely supper awhile so that they can keep playing.
I love each season but at the end of each I am ready for the next. There's always that awkward adjustment period- as one season dies out and the next comes forth. Like the the grass that is more brown than green, the piles of dead leaves that have grown soggy over winter and pile up here and there and then the trash- all that trash that blew or was tossed in our yard that was once hidden by snow . . . . and how about all the toys that got left out and were hidden by snow and now look so awful and forlorn?
I think I need to make some time to finalize my seed order and get some little seedlings growing here in the house with the kiddos. We need a bit more renewal here.
The house needs a going over- I see so many different things that need to be taken care of, put away, given away, dusted or just gotten rid of never to return. The other day while talking with my mom I realized that the top of my dining room curtains were discolored and then I realized they weren't faded- it was a layer of dust! Ugh! I had to stop myself from grabbing them down right then and there while she was here!
I think I just need to wander thru the house and perk it up a bit here and there- perhaps I should do as others do and rotate items in the home seasonally-- course that means storing them when not in use and we don't have a lot of storage space right now. Course we could rent a huge dumpster and let me just go room to room . . . . ah, I'm ready for some heave-ho spring cleaning.

Happy Spring
5:32 PM, 2007-Mar-22 .. Posted by LynneHi Amy, Happy spring! I have heard on the news lately how home prices in Detroit are falling to nothing. I think you are in S. Michigan...how are home sales doing in your area? I am just curious as to what is going on in different parts of the country. Here in my neighborhood in MD, I can't tell if prices have gone down much because nothing seems to be selling. There are three houses on my street that have been for sale for close to one year.

My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.
DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
