Return from the Ashes!!!!

CHRISTMAS IS OVER!!!! Yeah!!. OOPS, did that reveal me to be a scrooge? I hope not. I just love the NEW YEAR!!! I love the motivation and energy to renew goals and commitments. I love pruning my roses and planning a vegetable garden. I love this time of the year. Bring on Spring!!!!! January feels like spring to me.
In three short days my lovely, wonderful children will return to school and I will attempt to tackle laundry, organization and deep cleaning that I have put off since October. At least that's the plan. But we have a bit of news that might put a wrench in all my plans-- We're expecting a baby on July 16. This baby is Number Never Again. I'm just getting too old for the pregnancy thing. That being said, we are so excited. The kids are more elated than me and Robert more than anybody. I'm hoping that the 2nd trimester energy and well-being will be more than enough to make my spring spring.
