Odious Spring

Ah spring. This beautiful sight provokes warm and happy thoughts in the hearts of many.

Just look at those stupendous colors. The hearts and souls across the country thaw out from a long winters slumber and awake to feelings of joy and renewed life.

Sightings of this kind bring feelings of resurrected hope......

....but to me it means this....

...which leads to this....

...which invarably equals this.....

....and this....

......and this.....for several months.To say that spring was my least favorite season would be totally understating my feelings on the subject. I LOATHE spring. Those nice, springish pictures only mean misery to me . I have year round allergies, but spring comes and every bit of it hits me smack in the middle of the face. I couldn't really find pictures to show how miserable I get but the one below shows how I wish I could spend the next 3 months.

Oh to hibernate in my own personal head bubble.....heaven

Funny girls

Remember Sophie's hat fetish? Here's another hat. They are baby pantaloons. She looks like a wrestler.

She also has a thing for shoes. I love how she not only got them on the wrong feet but also one is backwards.

Sophie also cannot function without her bears and blanky (not pictured as it was being washed). She sleeps with all of them and if she wakes in the middle of the night all of them are in tow when she comes into our bedroom. Me and my girls have been sick going on 3 weeks now. Sophie always gets high fevers when she is sick so here she is just chillin' with "da poo" and bear. So funny to me that Pooh is as big as she is.

I love this picture of Regan. She looks so beautiful. She is pretty much over being sick. Still has a little cough, but is doing alright. She says the funniest things sometimes!! Yesterday I was laying on the couch while she was playing on the floor with her bucket. She starts "stirring" in her bucket and says, "Mama, I'm gonna make you some yucka, kucka-monkey cookies. It will help you feel so much better!" Hahahahahaha........ When the girls hair isn't done and they don't want me to do it, I tell them that they need to let me do their hair so they don't look like a little orphan. One night in the bathtub Regan says to Sophie, "You have a crazy little orphan bum Sophie!". HHhahHAHhahHAHhah........she kills me!

On Saturday I went to a warehouse full of great deals and got this carpet to cover our living room for $10! Love it. Our floors before were pretty much cement with a couple pink fibers covering it. Having this is like a lush garden of softness...for only $10!! Hooray for me. I also got some freakin' awesome mirrors for $5 each! Still not helping me to get better though. I think my cold has turned into a sinus infection. Peace out!

Think this is Chocolate?

YouData

I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData (youdata.com). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid for giving them my attention. I can use the funds to buy music and video online, donate to charities, give to my favorite blogs and websites, or keep the change myself and do whatever I want with it.
It's real. They pay. I've already been paid over $10 in the last month. You should check it out.
Click this link to sign up. My MeFile ID, rizkid22, in the "Referral Code" will tell them I sent you.
