I Need Sunshine

Yesterday Olivia had a "I refuse to go to school" moment. We drove ten miles to school and then she would not get out of the van.  I suppose I could have pulled her out of the van, screaming and thrashing, taken her into the school and let the teacher worry about it, but I didn't have it in me. So back home we went to color pictures for Santa and listen to Christmas music.  I think they were secretly trying to drive me insane....singing Winter Wonderland on the last day of March is not good for a soul that has been locked in winter for months and months. 

 We finally froze the ice cream we mixed up the other day.  A completely pointless task.  They were interested for about 2.5 seconds and then I was left with a really loud mixer going round and round.  I should have just thrown it in the freezer.

 The finished product is awful.  Not only did that little bit cost more than a gallon at the store, it isn't very good.  They wouldn't eat it. I won't eat it.  Homer said he would.  I'll believe that when I see it as he never eats ice cream.

 Cleaned Flower's cage yesterday and got rid of the ramp.  She just hops up to her food anyhow, and the ramp made it hard for Olivia to get her out of the box. She is the sweetest little girl.

 I cannot wait until these are in the greenhouse and we are picking the first fruit.  It's nice to have something to look forward to.  Visit My Alaska Garden for lots more photos of what I have growing.

 Last night was a Wii night with some hunting, baseball, golf...the usual. 

I don't feel as if I accomplished anything yesterday.  The kitchen looks like a bomb went off, there are still ten loads of laundry to do, plants need watering, etc. etc.  I did make my rounds to tidy up each bedroom.  (I like that part of my day). I realized my lack of motivation is directly related to the lack of windows down stairs.  The minute I went up stairs my grumpy mood went away and I had energy.  Three sides of the downstairs are underground so we can't put in a lot of windows, but we can do a few on the fourth side which has become a summer priority.  I also think I'll spend more time upstairs.  When my craft room is done I'll move my computer up there, too.  I think that will do a lot for my mood.

Well, Little Miss is ready for school so we'd better hit the road.  It's already 10:00am and I haven't done a darn thing!!
