I love spring but........

my nose isn't that crazy about it. I wake up sneezing and have a sore throat before I even get out of bed. I love watching the desert change from a boring, icky brown to a nice shade of green around here but my nose doesn't seem to care for it which I find a little odd since I have never had a problem with flowers blooming, pet dander, etc until I moved to AZ (which is something I've heard form a lot of people that live here. And the winds are not helping. The past couple of days have been awful, this past week and a half actually. We have had wind advisories all week which means that we have had winds, not gust mind you, winds of up 35 MPH. Did I move to Chicago or something? This makes it a little hard to line dry clothes. At least 2 things have to be re-washed because they flew off the line and have been lying in a cactus bush (trust me they have to be washed again those are small thorns that have to be washed out). I try to get a load up and drying early in the morning before the wind has a chance to pick up speed and nothing flies off, but if not that means that there will be a load drying overnight and I have to hope that nothing blows off during the night and javelina's, deer, or some other wild animal goes on it.

So where was I? OH right talking about the beauty of spring. I have been getting up early all week to go the Sam's, the daycare/dance studio that is down the street from me. I am going to go back to school this summer and start taking classes to be a preschool teacher so I can take over her place (oh Sam is a real person not just the name) when she is ready to retire. Well I thought I would have time to at least get a year of school in before she was ready to go but I don't think I will have that much time. She is talking about leaving at the end of the summer?!?!?!? Can you tell that I'm a little scared? Does it show in my writing? I am not ready for this, mentally, financially, or physically. I have been getting up at 6 am for the past 3 mornings and I am so ready to take a nap by 1pm. And then I sleep for 3 hrs!!!! And so does Savie!!!! This is making nights hard on both of us. But I think it's because we aren't used to it. I mean as I'm writing this she is laying on the couch trying to sleep (it's 10pm right now). But I will do this. This is something I want to do and I like Sam's. It will be sad when she goes.

On a lighter note though, I think my microwave is dying. Tuesday afternoon I came home to a microwave that was turned off. Now I have taken to unplugging things that don't really need to be plugged in all the time, i.e. curling iron, phone charger, that kind of stuff so I jut thought that maybe I unplugged it and didn't remember doing it. But that was not the case, half the buttons on it are not working and it shut itself off twice last night when I was warming stuff up. Great I know this is going to just up and die on me soon and I don't have the money to buy a new one right now. And then for good measure the space heater in the bathroom is trying to die to. Can't wait for it to get warm.

Trying something new today

Picture this, it's a warm spring day, very little wind; aslight breeze really, and you've just finished hanging the laundry on the line and have a 2 1/2yr old (omg is she really that old already?) , what do you do? you grab couple of chairs, some kleenex (she's got a running nose) and your laptop!! That's what we are doing today. Since I don't want to leave the house and it's a nice day outside we are sitting in the backyard enjoying the day. I need to wait for a check to clear and some other stuff so I am going to be working on the laptop for awhile, post a little, read some other blogs, and enjoy the morning even though it's already 11am for me. We jut can't seem to get out of the house before 10, even if it just to hang the clothes up. So for all of those that have the warm weather, and I'm wishing it for everyone, get out there and enjoy it before it gets to be to warm!!!!!


UPDATE~~~
well it didn't last long, about 10 minutes after I posted this the battery on the laptop went dead. Guess we'll have to try again later. lol
