It must be almost Spring

I have decided that my Spring allergies have made an early appearance. My eyes are red, swollen and watering and my nose is red and watering. I have had the feeling that I was getting a cold and then I read Big Mama's latest post and she said something about Springtime colds relating to allergies and I decided I just have allergies. Combine that with my asthma and I feel like I have a really bad cold. Either way, it's not good. And I have a headache.

I explained to The Muffin that I still felt bad today and that we'd take a little break from Storytime because there's not a mom or grandmother that wants me in Storytime with runny nose and eyes and sneezing and wheezing. She explained that she "really wanted to do Storytime art and get new books and movies" and that if I'd "take a deep breath I would feel better". I tried it and it just made me cough.

Last night, I made the mistake of suggesting that we try on a few Spring/Summer clothes from last year and I think we might have found the outfit of the season. The skort is gift for last year's birthday from Ms. A and the shirt was $1 this year at the not-so supercenter. The shirt is "my favorite" and the skort "doesn't hurt my private area at all", The Muffin said. She also said that "making pictures with glue would make Jesus happy and smiley".How long do you think it will be before she wears this outfit out in public??

I also would like to add a little PRAISE! Big Daddy and I measured for a privacy fence on Sunday while we were outside playing and had decided to price all of the supplies and talk to someone about putting it up for us. Needless to say, we knew it was going to cost more than we wanted to spend and we had other things that we'd rather spend the money on. On Tuesday, I was outside with the girls when our neighbor came over to ask if we minded if he put up a privacy fence this weekend. I thought about hugging him, but I didn't. They didn't want their dog to bother the people on either side of them and we really didn't want our daughter's bothering the house that borders us. I love to save money!

awesome on the fence deal! And isn't there a law or something, that you're supposed to put the "nice" side to your neighbors? So you get the nice side! yay! we are going to measure and hopefully put a privacy fence up too, we need a better place for the dog to be. I hope we can do it, I want the rest of my yard back the way it was BEFORE life with a dog! yay for spring! oh yeah, I LOVE Maggie's outfit!
