ready or not, will you come?

Is anyone feeling the rut we are stuck in? Are you tired of starting the car 15 minutes before you go anywhere, breathing on one hand while the other one clutches the steering wheel, and making a mad dash to the door once you get to your destination? Lost you temper yet trying to keep somewhat warm while fighting a kid into a car seat?

Movies just are not cutting it anymore. Not after being sick all week and relying on movies to babysit the kids. Everyday Levi asks to go play in the "back-ard". Everyday I am a little more antsy and a little more ready to move to warmer climates. I was excited when February came up so fast! But why is it that the shortest month of the year ends up feeling like the longest?

Can you close your eyes and glimpse for a second warm sunshine and refreshing breeze? Spray parks and leafy tree tops and lemonade and actual dirt all over the kids? Tulips and distant lawn mowers munching and picnics? Spring I am ready when you are.
