Spring Has Sprung
FINALLY! We've had two days of beautiful sunshine. This has been a pretty wet winter here and it's nice to see the weather drying out a little. I love the rain and the winter weather, but I'm always glad when Spring begins to bloom. The Cherry trees are the first to bloom around here with pale pink blossoms that are knocked out by Spring showers and bloom again. Then the rain changes and becomes warmer. The nights aren't as cold and the days stay light longer. It makes a big difference for the kids too. They get to go outside, to the park, climb trees. I kicked them out yesterday. The memories of my childhood involved being out in the backyard for hours making up stories and chasing villians. I climbed trees and made my Barbie into a female Tarzan saving the incompetent Ken from the dangers of "outside". I watch my kids do some of the same things. Of course they also hit each other with sticks, but I can't have everything I guess. There are times I forget some of the things I did as a kid. Like the many times I was covered in mud from head to toe. I forgot that last week as I was cleaning the house for the guest coming for Easter when my two boys tracked into the house covered in mud and proceeded to trash my clean bathroom. Sometimes being an adult sucks. It's those times that I call my Mom and say, "I'm so sorry Mom." She just laughs and says the Mother's curse is working. You know, "I hope you have a child just like you." I have two. Whatever happens, though, I know my kids were the best thing that ever happened to me. When I think about what Michelle is going through with her eighteen year old, I'm grateful I had my boys. Justin has just been diagnosed with a chronic, severe disease. Between doctor appointments and biopsies and all kinds of other tortures, she's hanging on by a thread. Even knowing that this happened, she is so glad she had him. He's a kick in the pants and I love him. I wish this wasn't happening to him, but I can only be there for him. The question always is if I knew that my child would get sick and die young, would I still have had him? Answer--absolutely. The short time I've had with my boys would have been worth it. OK, that's totally depressing. Sorry. Mudpies, just think about mudpies and Tarzan Barbie.
