March 9 - Spring Is Coming!

Ahhhhhh! Warmer days and plenty of sunshine assures us that spring is near. FINALLY! While we can't say we had much of a winter it has seemed loooong. And I am very antsy waiting for the day when I can open windows and have some warm fresh air filling the house.

I enjoyed a wonderful bike ride with my nephew yesterday after school while at my sister's house. Peddling around wearing a light jacket, wind in my face for the first time since Fall felt so wonderful! I am so happy to retire the bulky winter jacket and gloves and remove the lightweight jackets from their hangers where they have hung all winter without use.

And hey, this Sunday we turn our clocks ahead giving us more hours light! Weeeeeehaa! I'm sure the majority of people in cold weather climates are as ready as I am. So many places have had so much snow, there's been a lot of sickness about during this winter, and everyone is more than ready to just get out there and enjoy the warmth and sunshine.

Oh Spring hurry up! I am ready to welcome you with open arms.

March 1 - Back To Blog

Wow just five posts in February? I didn't realize I was slacking off on the old blog here that badly. I'm having an issue with a some discomfort from the Ganglion Cyst that I have on my wrist. Yeah...the wrist on the arm of the FUBAR elbow, and also some twinges from that elbow lately.

Anyway...March first...yaaaaaaay! Even though we've had an unseasonable relatively mild winter, I am soooooo ready for it to be over. I want longer daylight hours and warmth, and lightweight jackets and open windows. Even though it hasn't been a bad winter here it feels like it has been sooooooo long.

So I'm looking for and beginning to see the light at the end of the cold weather tunnel. March is a long month, but April and May are right behind it. And I can't wait!

Otherwise, it's been the same old, same old. Bleh....I need some sunshine.

February 20 - The Yellow Belt

Who knew a five year old could punch through a board with bare hands? Not me that's for sure. But that's exactly what happened last night during turbo-tot's yellow belt testing at Tae Kwon Do. And yes, the wee one is now a yellow belt, having earned enough stripes, and passing the testing that retired the white belt and gave him a brand new yellow one.

I think he was as surprised by it as his mom, myself, and his cousin (my son). I wish I had gotten the shot of him actually breaking the board, but I didn't...I did catch his happy face as he turned around a split second later though, as can be seen in the slideshow on today's Photo Of The Day page.

I hope this is something he'll want to continue when he's older. The martial arts are really so good for kids on so many levels...mainly self control, self discipline, and the re-reinforcement of morel values taught at home. It's all good.
