THE LOVELY CRAZY

Oh man, what time is it? That is going to be the theme of the day. A day to adjust new real time with what body time (like food and sleep schedule ) wants it to be. It confuses me and I end up either really hungry or falling asleep at 5pm. Lose an hour, but gain some light at night. I guess I need to enjoy it (even if I am enjoying it from my bed, ha) because it means we are heading for spring!!!!!

This week had been a week, a week of crazy dreams, lots of warm soup, the last bits of super cold weather (I am hoping) and this and thats and what nots. We took a little hike, got the car inspected and washed, and spent time trying to better ourselves of any illness by hanging low and getting good amounts of sleep. I worked a bit at the studio, started the taxes (I am behind, I know) which I don’t really want to so I procrastinate whenever I can and make pierogi. The mr is preparing and starting a few projects that involve porch ripping apart and the such. Lots of outdoor work. Spring is a coming and things are going to get hectic around here fast. A good thing? Not sure yet. We are both going a little crazy right now so having some projects to do is going to be good. And we are running away… Hahaha.

Yesterday we grabbed Barb, Judah, and Coco and headed out onto the lake. Super gorgeous day. Warm and bright and all the right things that we have needed. We walked out to the lighthouse, Coco slipped and fell once. Barb slammed her ass really hard and took me down with her too. The mr and Judah managed to not fall. They are more graceful then us.. And after the ice capades we brought them all home and I came home to make lists of all the spring cleaning projects that I plan on tackling this week. Gonna wash all the windows and maybe do some touch up painting…. But I might be getting ahead of myself. We shall see.

Today, besides being slightly confused by the light and when I get hungry, I am hoping to get some seeds started, pull some handles for a bunch of tumblers that I think should have handles (I think.. maybe. Still thinking about it), drink lots and lots of coffee and tea while reading, and do a bunch of laundry. I want to wash all of my winter outwear except maybe a single hat and a pair of mittens (I have many hats and mittens and scarfs and hoodie sweaters… there is a lot) and then pack it all away! I might even stick the winter boots back I the closet. Is that tempting the snow gods. Are we going get another big snow storm? Maybe, but I don’t care. I am sick of it, I don’t want to look (or smell… its is starting to smell funky) at any of it anymore. There is going to be 40, maybe even 50 degree weather all next week so you know what that means…Good bye boots, hello CHACOS! I am pulling my sandals out and leaving them by the door. My feet are so EXCITED!

Books, coffee,,seeds and sandals. What else are Sundays for?

Here again are some internet links to read if you want.

-The People Who Eat the Same Meal Every Day. I am one of these people. Pretty much same meals everyday, give or take a few this or thats. And I can honestly say that I look forward to my meals every single day because I basically eat a little bit of every vegetable the I have (the veggies change with seasons) , lots of greens (greens also vary) and lentils and or beans. SO GOOD!

What time is it really? Do you play that game when it's Daylight Savings? For the past week I have been walking around saying it's 4, but it really it's going to be 5 in a few days. So yeah, a little confusing because I can do that to things. But these year I have been proactive about the change and going to bed a little earlier ever night (we spent an evening laying in bed, cause we couldn't fall asleep so early, looking up obscure meanings of words and things about birds. Did you know that a bunch of flamingos is called a flamboyance? Sometimes I hate the internet, but sometime, sometimes it is full of magic.) and waking up a little earlier (me, not the mr) And even better, we officially lost our hour yesterday, like I set the clocks forward when I woke up(the mr was confused all day but mostly went along with it). I wanted to get it out of the way so that today can be normal and I can stop thinking about the clock. Look at me, I am so smart, or maybe just really weird, but whateva, I am one (hour) up on everyone.

The week had been pretty full and fun.. There was and has been lots of snow falling and melting and falling again. I have loved it all because warm snow days are like the best. On one of those nice days we took the littles and Barb and climbed a little mountain. (You know when you walk to the top of a mountain and see a snow penis? No,well its pretty freaking fantastic, especially when you have two littles with you. There was no shortage of wiener jokes for the rest of the day) The mr made Coco a sweet ass toddler bed and now he is sleeping in his own bed like a toddler boss. We found the last remaining light fixture needed for the bathroom and put that it, and now the house is completely done, except for wanting to start all over again. (we need to find a new shitty house to fix). I got a bunch of chores done, cleaned a bunch more, and every day getting a little more pumped about spring and outside and all the things I need to do outside once the ground thaws. I can't wait to play in the dirt!.

Then a couple days ago the mr took me on a driving adventure that ended up at an outdoor church in the middle of nowhere to pick up some free church pews. And to see all the geese flying home. But church pews, yeah that was interesting. I didn't really want them, but the mr was all about them and has some ideas for them. (cutting in half and sanding) SO we loaded up the truck and drove an hour with large cross incrusted pews sticking out of the. truck bed. (The things we end up doing.) As for the pews, they are cool, but I really don't think I need a church pew in the house, way to clunky and it just doesn't seem right.

As I said before, we lost our hour yesterday so the day was a little wonky. Ate lunch at 1 but dinner at 5 but it was really 12 and really 6 but went to bed at 8 and his clock said 4 but mine said 5, but who's 5 were we talking about. Yeah, it was confusing but we got through it, mostly because we didn't have anything time sensitive going on. During the day the mr and I each ended up with a little. The boys went and did some wood shop stuff and us loadies stayed here and went over her play lines and baked cookies. Or I baked cookies and the girl watched baking shows and ate cookie dough. And then I washed my hair, ate dinner and went to bed.

So today.. my brain is good but my body is still adjusting to time so I already know that I am going to need a nap today, hell, I might even just go back to bed for a little while (no, I probably won't) Then I am going to strip the sheets and blanket and I am going to make the bed with the spring sheets and blankets because time change means it is basically spring which means I should probably get out my shorts and mud boots and get on it. But that is all after the nap, and the million cups of coffee I will be drinking today. But spring guys!!!!

Interesting internet that interested me.
