There are times I just get real blue (cabin fever?) and wish I was back in southern California with my old teaching buddies and the warm sunshine!
Being a SAHM is a wonderful occupation. I wish I could have had that experience but alas it was not to be. As wonderful as it is though it's one of the hardest jobs around and doesn't always get the respect it should receive. My daughter, another SAHM, calls often and I know it's just so she can talk to an adult for awhile.
Thank goodness for the internet. It does help us retain our sanity and keep in touch with the real (?) world! Hang in there and write whenever you feel the need!

Cabin fever! ick.
I have been out and walking some on the farm. There are 19 baby lambs, several new bunnies, and will be 2 colts anytime!! I haven't seen any baby chicks, yet. The pigs are getting big and starting to stink really bad. LOL! Just a little walk to see all this does me wonders! ah, and the fresh air, although, not so fresh near the pigs. ;)
Being a SAHM is my favorite job! Out of all the jobs I've ever had, this is the hardest, but it is the most rewarding. I wouldn't trade it for a job with a HUGE paycheck!
I talk to my mom at LEAST once a day on the phone. It's not long distance, so I take advantage of that.
This Quilt Board has kept me sane. I needed somewhere to be. :D
I'll probably be MIA for a while around the second week of April. I am going to help my DD make a bunch of cookies and decorate them with color flow icing. I need to let them dry for a while. We're going to make lots of Easter cookies! I haven't done much baking for a while, so it should be fun.
