Spring is here!

I love spring!  I love the warm (not hot) days, the beautiful flowers, the earth changing from dead to alive!  However, this year spring seems to be kicking the Millers butts.  I spent like 10 hours weeding, and raking, and bagging all the crap in my yard, oh yeah, not my whole yard but just my FRONT YARD!  Seriously, I haven't even started on the backyard and I want to cry at the thought.  We are still suffering from that wicked wind storm we had in December.  I found all sorts of crap in my yard, mail, garbage, roof shingles, pine needles, tree branches, my rain gutter...I have achy hands and dirt in my fingernails but I am now finished with the front yard.  One half more to go, 10 + more hours, yipee!
My other favorite part of spring is the allergies.  Ok, so I am lying, we are suffering in a bad way this year.  My poor boys have stuffy noses and swollen, itchy eyes.  Luke has been getting up in the middle of the night to blow his nose because it is so stuffy.  I took them to the doc yesterday thinking they had an eye infection, but no, just allergies.  Love paying for things like that huh! 
I am tired, sore and dirty.  Spring is here kicking our butts, but bringing us life and beauty.  Would I trade it for winter?

Not a chance!
