March is in like a Lion

I feel like I haven't relaxed in a long time. Is anyone else feeling like that these days? What is with that? Is it the economy? Is it the weather? Or is it that my schedule has gotten crazy lately and I'm just now noticing it? I haven't really picked up any new responsibilities - perhaps it's just that my kiddos have gone through a bit of a growth spurt and they are demanding a bit more attention than maybe a few months ago. Maybe that sort of creeps up on parents. I'm not sure since I'm not really an expert.

I woke up in the middle of the night last night and couldn't sleep for about 3 hours or more and just couldn't stop thinking of about a million things at once. I think it would be just lovely to take a big vacation RIGHT NOW. It's just so cold outside in this Ohio weather. Well, ok, yesterday it was in the mid-60's . . . but today, it's extremely windy and in the mid-40's. That's March for us - cantakerous and moody. :-) It's the growth-spurt of spring.

Well this week is rather hectic for me now that I admit it. I'm playing the piano for my sister's elementary school music programs (she's the music teacher and she has 2 programs this week . . . . those kids are just so cute!), and I'm trying to hand-make about 50 baby shower invitations for my other sister's shower that is coming up next month. That is going to practically undo my sanity! What was I thinking??? I'm too much of a perfectionist and I think I'm worrying about this in my sleep. Maybe it doesn't sound like much to another person, but to me after juggling the care of 2 kids at home, it's pretty much crazy around here.

OK, well back to my life . . . I thought I'd pop in here for a moment. I still wish for a vacation . . . but I'll take warmer weather. Please!!!
