I Am So Over It

Yesterday at Target I bought matching pink shorts for the girls and a Yankee candle called “Summer Breeze.” I have an illness called I Need Spring Now and I’m saddened to report that it’s malignant (until April-ish anyway). Currently, I’m only able to treat the symptoms with premature purchases like those previously mentioned. The cold and the snow and the gray are killing me one dropping degree at a time and, to quote my charming little high school students, I am so OVER it.

I want the warmth but I need the change because I am entirely winter-routined out (not a word, I know). You know what I’m talking about. Slow, painful lifetimes coaxing kids into coats and mittens. Infinite eternities spent indoors, vitamin D and sanity deprived. Pseudo-reprieves found only in Travel Channel specials and summer-scented candles. (No, this is not a paid post for Yankee. I’m just obsessed). Bright flowers, veggie gardens, charcoal grills – I’m ready for you. Have been for quite some time.

Molly’s new favorite thing is pooping in the tub and last night Savannah asked for an iPad.

It’s time to get out of the house.
