Longing for Spring


It's storming outside, Tyler's in Denver, and I'm sick of taking Daisy out in the rain and cleaning her paws afterwards. The 2 or 3 "warm" days we had last week when the kids could get outside and play and we could go to the park were such a tease. Sandwiched in between snow and rain. March is the time I really miss Texas...it's already t-shirt and flip flop weather there. I bet the bluebonnets will be out soon. We still have a month or two of coolness left here in KC. Oh well--that's the price we pay for getting 4 seasons and a beautiful Fall, I guess. I'm sure August will be here before I know it and I'll be complaining about the heat. Which reminds me...I should complain less. So hard to do. I'll attempt a list of thankfulness, instead...


*A dry roof over my head

*A new high powered working sump pump

*Tyler's only gone one night a week and has a JOB

*Daisy has never pooped or peed inside or in her kennel...I could be cleaning that up!

*An extra hour of daylight

*Children that went right to sleep in their beds tonight with no complaints


There...that's better. Thank you, God, that in all things, we can give thanks to you. You are the maker of the rain and the many rainbows that follow.
