boo monday.

this felt like, a non-existent weekend. 
it’s funny, my concept of time is COMPLETELY different than it used to be, but i still have that monday let down (on a totally different level, but it’s still there). when monday comes it means i’m back to being secluded, without a car, and no one to give me reasonable breaks to shower or cook or do laundry or enjoy myself. it’s my job, and i get that…it’s just funny how there’s still some form of boo, monday’s here.

luke’s been kind of a champion sleeper while he fights this crap. yesterday, he took a FOUR hour nap in the morning, a two hour nap in the afternoon (that we actually had to wake him up from for dinner, it was getting tooo late), and then slept 11 hours. that much sleep sounds exhausting! lol  but he definitely needs it, so i’m glad he’s getting it. he got up at 7 today, and he already went down at 8:15. i wouldn’t normally put him back down that fast, but he was giving me all the sleepy signs and wasn’t interested in anything else. i wonder how long he’ll sleep.

not that it matters. this is a total crap day (rainy, overcast, cold….the buffalo special). we have no plans. surpriiiise. 

so, ready for a confession? i’m ready for spring and summer.
i know this sounds kind of….no brainer? but as a former buffalo transplant living in charlotte, i was ANXIOUS, excited, thrilled even….to come back to snow and cold. and i got it!! of course. it was fantastic in december. and even fun for the first part of january. and now? mmmmeeeehhh……. i think i’m done.

that’s not to say i won’t be giddy if we get another snow storm. but, buffalo has been a little cruel lately and gave us some sunny days… some that even felt warm-ish (like, 40’s….big deal around here though) and i got that hint of…. winter-turning-spring feeling, and i wanted it. bad. because in charlotte…..it’s probably starting. this is the only time of year i’ll miss. mid january – may. it’s absolutely gorgeous and lovely and perfect and it was the only time of year i was truly content with the weather. summers were too hot, the christmas season felt ALL wrong, and fall was too warm to wear the sweaters i was dying to get into most days. 

today is my laundry day. so, i need to get going on that. i also have a little challenge to myself that i’ll be posting on scrapaholic studio shortly. i think i’m gonna get moving. that doesn’t mean i won’t be back to blah-blah later 🙂
