Winter is almost over. Although, there is this big thing on the news every evening about this guy who apparently "predicted" the last 2 big snow storms right down to the date and amounts, and he is saying there is another one coming for March 7th that will dump like 42 inches of snow on us. According to another thing I've heard, the Farmers Almanac is also predicting the same thing. If that truly hits us, I just might die. I highly doubt it because I swear I saw we have 50 degree temps coming for the end of the week.
I like the snow and how much we've gotten here this winter, and it is awesome for my husbands job, but I truly feel like it's time for winter to be over. Mentally I'm starting to lose it because I need out of the house. I need to be able to go outside and not be freezing, and not to be seeing so much snow. We had some melting recently and I saw that my crocuses are coming up. I'm ready for things to look alive outside again!
In other randomness, here's what's been going on here lately:
I now have 36 orchids. I went to the PA Garden Expo this weekend and met a guy that is about 2 hrs away that has a very very huge awesome greenhouse, and I plan to go very soon. So that count will probably grow. The orchids have officially distracted me from the fact that my body is a failure and I no longer know what day I'm on cycle wise or care much for that matter.
Although I do have it marked on the calendar that I start the HB Formula again tomorrow, and I've had cramping and overload of "cm" sooooooo maybe it's kicked in. But I'm not obsessing it. I have 36 other things to take care of and worry about.
I have been going to bed a bit earlier than I use to because I'm up earlier for babysitting, and K gets up as soon as he hears my alarm. So earlier to bed so I'm not snapping within minutes of waking up is what I need. So far, it is working ok.
Babysitting is going great. I have them basically napping at the same time and Kristopher is required to have "rest time" around the same point since he is sleeping less at night. I have about 2 hours of a quiet house in the afternoon. Again, saves me from going mental.
And before I'm done today, Kristopher update.
He is now breezing through the Step 1 "begin to read" books. At first I thought it was because he just memorized the ones we had, so we bought some more. He was reading to the babies the other day and I caught him getting to a word he didn't know and he sounded it out and kept on going. It is the coolest thing ever to see him sitting there actually reading a book that he has never seen before. It's also pretty sad because it means my baby is most definitely not a baby anymore.
And Kindergarten registration is coming up. I'm in denial for now. I want to keep him home but I know he will thrive in a school setting. He NEEDS that and I know that is best for our family, but I don't want him to go. And he wants to ride a bus and that thought scares me even more than the fact he will be at school for 5 hrs a day. We live 20 mins from school so do I do that drive twice a day, or trust the bus like everyone is telling me to do? Everyone else says I am crazy for not wanting to allow him to go on the bus.....I have till August to figure all that out. I really just want to move and be in a walking/no bus offered school area. Which we might just do. But that's more for another day.
