So I know that it is March but I feel like the funk I have been in for the past few weeks is going to linger on. February is a rough month in the Kruse household. It is a month filled with cold weather and endless snow. It follows previous months of cold weather and endless snow. The house becomes a prison and when I try to escape the thought of diaper bags, nursing covers, nap times, dirty diapers, and germs waiting to invade a vulnerable 7 month old immune system quickly make me reconsider.
I long for sunshine on my face- with sunscreen of course. I can't wait for Saturday morning farmer's market followed by garage sales. Sitting in the yard with a glass of wine watching the chickens do their thing. Impromptu pool parties. Softball games. Walks around the neighborhood. Weekly trips to the zoo……
Yesterday was a tease. I felt the sunshine on my face and it was like a bit of life was put back into me- a little reminder that Spring is on its way. I purchased cucumber and tomato seeds in the hopes that Mother Nature would see how anxious I am and speed things up a bit.
In the meantime I am considering stuffing myself into Emily's snow gear, getting a lawn chair and sunbathing in the driveway- Midwest style… Do you think Matt would try to have me committed?

I Don't think he would commit you for that, but I do think there would be photos taken...
ugh, the funk! I hate it. The sun is great this week though. I'm thinking another 10-15 degrees and we can bundle Drew and Ava up and go for some walks! I put Emmett on the bus at 11:30ish, we could do some pre-nap time walks when it gets warmer.
:)
That would be great Liza! Bring on the warm weather!
