The new year started off with a literal bang in the form of a possessed oven and an emotional one when we had to have our big Emma put to sleep. And a frigid one with snow, wind, more snow, and ice.
It continued days later when Favorite Daughter Katie announced her engagement.
The January hoopla spilled over into February, as Favorite Firstborn Matthew began his new teaching job at a middle school.
And more snow and wind and frigid temps.
The other day I saw this:
What is it?, you ask. It's NO SNOW (hey, that sounds like 'It snow snow.' Awesome.)
The excitement was bumped up a notch or two yesterday when Matthew unexpectedly had his appendix removed in the morning... and was dismissed in the afternoon. Almost a drive-thru procedure.
Today I saw this:
Yes, GREEN is peeking through!!! I can't believe it, but I sure am ready.
I trust I'm ready for March madness, period.
Are you???
