Is it Spring Yet?!

 I really am not much to complain about winters down south. I grew up in Ohio, in a snow belt actually so I know what a winter is like. Having snow on the ground for like 6 months out of a year and beyond cold temps, those things I do not care for. I am however begging for sping to finally come please, not because i am tired of winter or the cold or even the weird number of snow storms the south has had (I actually enjoy snow in small amounts) I really want spring so that we can all get healthy again!! This has been one long hard winter of never ending illness for my family, myself included. let's review the list of sickness.
 Starting around Thanksgiving we all got stuffy/snotty noses. This turned into a full blown illness for me the week after Thanksgiving and a week long of drinking nyquil straight from the bottle every night just to survive. The Marine caught this but a slightly less deathly feeling version. The kids stayed out of that nasty one but developed coughs and boogery noses which to this day linger. Sometime after that the kids had fevers and started feeling unlike themselves...more tired and started napping for like 3-4 hours at a time!! I enjoyed that little bit, I sure do like naps! They bounced back from that quickly, but then were struck down with some random 24 hour vomiting mess which made my house so gross. They both for a little over a day were just throwing up just about everything that went down and it was awful. I lined my house with blankets, towels, and anything I could to catch the mess so that I didn't have to scrub carpets and couches. Laundry went non-stop during that time. After that got done we had a family function where another family member's girlfriend brought her sick kids withher (ya thanks for that...totally awesome) so mine caught that bug and had high fevers for a few days. After Christmas was over we still had never ending boogers and coughs which progressed into horrid coughs and throwing up fits from coughing so bad. I have this never ending sinus infection and am seeing an ENT next week sometimes about it, plus my tounsils hate me...want those out please!

 ok ok so you get the point...it has been one sickly winter and I want some sunshine and outside time so we can be healthy again!!! I think it's the sunlight that makes you more healthy? I don't know but we want out door play time again!!! The kids got balance bikes for christmas and ladybug loves riding hers, Mister needs more pratice but he will get it soon enough! We wanna play outside, we want the sickies to go away!!!

 BRING ON THE SUN!!!!!!!!!
