I'm Ready for Spring!

I find myself wishing for Spring to come earlier and earlier each year now. I am not a crazy fan of the cold. I love to watch the snow falling but that is about it. I don't find myself needing to post about too much anymore, we just go to work everyday and take the kids to different activities and its pretty boring around here most days. We are planning on having a yard sale before long, we need to start getting rid of some of Mom's stuff before she moves in with us. We are hoping we can delay that until summer at late spring, only because we haven't even started converting our attic space into a room for Kassie yet. She is excited to have her room upstairs, she informs us quit often that she needs time alone. She has her own room but I do see that side of her. She is very outgoing around other people like at school but when she comes home she really has to go off by herself for alone time for an hour or so. Tyler has his own room too and he goes in there for hours at time and we have to go look for him sometimes. Where did my kids get that from??? Kassie has already started thinking of how she wants to decorate her room and what colors she wants. I see more painting in our future. Of course Mom is not going to want two shades of pink on her walls when she takes over Kassie's old room. She says its fine, but I know better. I wouldn't want to look at it everyday. Robert said he would paint it whatever color Mom wanted. I figure she will go with a brown color but who knows she might surprise me with some off the wall color. Mom has a doctor's appointment Monday so off to Fayetteville we go again. Hopefully we will get good news about the fluid around her heart, we are hoping it is going away on its own or at least not getting any worse. She still has no pain from it or side effects so as long as everything stays the same he doesn't think surgery will be necessary. I better end this post for now, we have housecleaning to do, my favorite thing to do...not! Its one of those things that I remind myself I do for myself as well as my kids, hopefully I am teaching them to keep a clean house like my Mom did. Mom you taught me well and if I never told you before....Thank you for that. I love you Mom! Take care everyone...Kim
