seriously lacking

been trying my danged hardest to not complain about spring in utah. it is spring. there are blossoms on the trees. i can see everything around me trying to pop out and greet the sun.

but silly weather threw some snow our way this morning.

each week, i have to wait one more week to plant some veggies. one more week and that will be the last freeze, and tomatoes are good to go. just one more week.

and as of april 26th, i am almost out of hope. i just want to curl up and sleep til its warm outside. i made a huge pot of chili, took the hottest bath i could last night, put sweats on and piled under blankets, and dreamed the dreary away. i keep hearing about all this hot weather in houston, where my parents are moving to, and i am getting tempted to join them.

i have no desire to jump in puddles. i want a pool. to jump in the pool.

and so, i lack all motivation to do anything. it took everything i had to start the dishwasher, seven hours after it needed to be started. ugh. next week? will my sun come next week? i sure hope so. because any longer and my house might revolt.

and i need help! what is your go-to meal to take to a just-had-a-baby family? we've had too many babies in our ward the last few months and i'm tired of chicken and rice/hawaiian haystacks. what did you want after having a baby?
