Girlfriends.

I was just reading one of my earliest posts:  Xmas Xtravaganza

It's an extraordinary relationship between girlfriends.  We can laugh and fight and cry together.  I feel most like my true self when I'm with my girlfriends.  Not that I'm not myself when I'm with others in my life but I feel the most comfortable with the girls.  I don't have to behave.  I don't have to watch my language.  I don't have to have my filter on.  They understand what I'm going through as a wife, a mom, a sister, a working woman.

Love you, girls!

C'mon, little crocus, you can do it!

Hello Little Plants!

Raked the yard.  No more snow.  Little tulips and other little friends are popping up here and there.

Ms. C., this is what mine looks like.  Primrose?  I think there's a tulip coming up there that I didn't plant.  Hermit says the chippies move bulbs.  I think he's on to something...

This little guy was dug up by some creature and it's still alive.  And purple.  Haven't seen it this purple in a couple years.

I'm a Loser Mom

Well that's how I'm feeling tonight.  It's Spring Break and although that sounds marvelous, when you don't take a trip and you're kids stay home all week, the uglies come out.  I just feel like my family is out of control.  My kids are sassing me.  They won't listen to me but they hate when I yell at them after I ask them to do something for the sixth time!  Maybe my aunt (Ex-aunt actually.  She's not married to my uncle anymore) was right.  Maybe I'm not cut out to be a mom. 

There's just been a lot of negativity in my home for the past week.  Lots of glass half empty instead of glass half full and all this bad energy is really getting to me.  I soak it up like a sponge and it makes a mess out of me.  I just want to run away for a while when it gets like this.
