Well, my family of four seems to be doing well. Tempers are in check, we all seem to be getting along. We spent yesterday working as a family on cleaning out our garage. We need to have a garage sale and the boys have agreed to help prepare and run it with me (in return for part of the proceeds). The hubby helped too and it was GREAT to get rid of so much junk.
Today the boys each had a luncheon at church and activities afterwards. We're waiting on the oldest DS to return and then we're off to visit my dad at the nursing home. Seems they didn't give him his medication on time today and that explains why he called me crying at 1:20 this afternoon. I guess I'm going to have to go down there and knock some heads. I hate having to be the bad guy, but Daddy isn't in the best position to demand stuff, so I guess my hubby and I will go do that. I know that the boys will enjoy seeing dad. I know he'll like seeing all of us.
Mom is still very sick with bronchitis. I've taken soup and other groceries to her. She said she needed help getting some papers together for our accountant. I guess I'll go over tomorrow and get that rounded up for her so I can fax it to the accountant. This is another year that we are (personally) doing the extension thing again. Someday we'll actually get the taxes done by April 15th again. But not this year!
I am in the mood to sew or stamp or paint a room. I guess I'll settle for getting laundry cleaned, planning for my next stamp club, designing my shoebox swap card for this coming weekend, and preparing for the garage sale. If I can get rid of the stuff in the garage, plus the unused toys in the toy room, and outgrown clothes, maybe I'll feel more inclined to see the progress around here.
I'm also itching to plant flowers in the front yard and to create a new flower bed for shade-loving plants in the back yard. I need to get rid of the swing set in the back yard too.
Why isn't my list getting shorter? I guess it's Spring Fever! I'm glad I feel like I have time to even create a list with the expectation that one or two of them will actually get accomplished this spring.

I had serious Spring Fever a couple of weeks ago, and just had to have flowers. I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time this summer to deal with a lot of yard work, so I planted several pots with some nice flowers and put them around the ramp at my back door. Every time I come home I can see those flowers as I pull into the driveway and I am cheered.
Don't let Spring Fever put you in a situation where you will be over taxed later, but do find something you can do and enjoy.
