Groundhog day

I am ready for winter to be over. Now.
***
I NEED sunshine.
***
I NEED flip flops.
***
I NEED bermuda shorts.
***
I NEED warm summer nights.
***
I NEED weekend camping trips to Blacksmith fork.
***
I NEED to be able to take Preston to a park and let him loose without putting 6 layers of clothing on him.
***
I am having a second case of cabin fever this winter. (the first one being the first six weeks of G-man's life.)
***
And, I am beginning to feel exactly like the guy on Ground hog day.
***
Wake up. Feed Gunner. Go back to sleep. Wake up again. Feed Gunner. Feed Preston. Try to study. Feed Gunner again. Feed Preston again. Feed Gunner. Feed myself, perhaps. Put in a load of laundry. Pump. Go to school. Come home from school. Feed Gunner. Feed Gunner for the last time. Shower? Go to sleep.
***
Every Day.
***
Okay, not EVERY day. But the other days we are too exhausted to do anything. Or one of us doesn't feel like it.
***
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my life, and where it is going, and everything I have.
***
However, I am seriously going insane.
***
I have considered running away several times.
***
Just to spice things up a bit, have a change of scenery.
***
And I would even take the kids with.
***
Moral of this story is, Summer, I am ready for ya!!
***
We have got to get out of this house!!
***
( I guess I would even settle for spring!!)
