The day started well. We had some rain overnight, but it was still warm and the grass is greening. Of course, it was an hour later than I wanted it to be, by the clock, because we changed to Daylight Savings Time overnight. I don't mind DST, but we definitely need to be in the Central Time Zone because what little daylight we had gained for the morning commute will now be gone for another 60 days or so. Bah! Humbug!
The kids were largely good today...but Meg was crabby. Not a very good trade! We have new neighbors, with children. "Jack" is in third grade. There is also a toddler. The poor people haven't even finished their move yet and they had Robin and Ryan. Understand that my grandchildren, (since they've been here, at least), haven't had local kids to play with. We are having to teach them about not going someplace uninvited, not getting out of sight, blah, blah. It goes with the territory.
I tackled much of the housework today, unsuccessfully. I have finished all but about three loads of laundry. Have cooked three rounds of food, so have done three loads of dishes. Everything comes in threes today! Took the children on a somewhat minor shopping trip. Had a couple of incidents while out...then again when back at home...which I attribute to boredom and fatigue. It will take a couple of weeks for everyone to adjust to the new time deal. Ugh!
Signs of spring:
1. Robin told me the other day that she say two robins "fighting" and that one almost got run over. I mentioned that they get a bit distracted this time of year. Heh heh.
2. The grass is magically greening. Can dandelions be far behind??
3. I don't wanna go to school!
The clock says it's 9:21, but my body ain't ready to give up yet. It'll take two weeks for me to get the bod and the clock together. Ugh!
