Spring is here

Well unofficially, that is. Spring is about to be sprung this Friday, March 20th.

Every spring I try to do some spring cleaning like most Canadians do to get rid of the clutter at home, clothes, toys, etc., sort them and toss them, junk that we've accummulated through the years. It is time to purge. Yesterday it was the kids toys, it was almost a full day event and it was tiring. Anyway, with the kids' help, I got rid of a lot of stuff, some for donation and most of it for garbage.

Next I plan to purge our clothes, clean the house, or clean the garden and maybe, just maybe, paint the wood trims in our living room, a task I'm dreading to do for a long time. These are daunting tasks and since I started chemo I usually get overwhelmed if I plan too many things at the same time. So what I'll do is play it by ear and see what I feel like doing each day.

It's also March Break, the kids are off from school for a week. I don't have any planned activities for them this week nor do I know what to do yet. But I think they're just happy to be home and not going to school is a treat for them. With the beautiful weather we've been having, they've been out playing with their friends almost everyday. I think they're happy and content staying at home, chill, hang out with their friends or play Mario Kart Wii. Great thing is it's free. I'll probably take them to Fantasy Fair sometime this week, it's their favourite.

Spring is here. I'm not an expert gardener nor do I have a green thumb but I can't wait to plant my annuals. I can't wait to see different vibrant colours in our tiny garden.

Seeing the sun shine everyday and the warm weather definitely got rid of my winter blues. I hope spring is here to stay.
