Where or where is spring??

I really miss Texas these days.  I am consumed with down south lately.  I really enjoyed growing up in Texas.  The people are friendly, everyone lives healthy lifestyles (because you can be outside most of the year), the schools are great, and it is just a happy place to live, oh and one last perk-the shopping!!!!  Now, I know Texas has had probably the coldest winter in a long time, but they are rare, so I could deal. 

I am having a really hard time this winter being so cold.  I feel like I am stuck inside, and I think we are all getting cabin-fever.  I find myself looking outside imagining life this spring/summer with the kids playing in the sandbox, and me playing in one of my gardens. Hopefully it will be here soon. 

I am so cold these days, I have a hard time warming up.  I find myself exercising just to warm up, which I guess it a good thing, right?  However, I have realized I don't like being cold.  And.....I feel so bad for Bryce.  He refuses to keep socks and shoes on.  It is a day-long battle with us.  I put them on, he takes them off.  I have tried slippers, socks that I thought were tough to remove, shoes etc.  He removes everything.  Also, at nightime, he is still too young for blankets, so we put two pairs of jammies on him, but in the morning, his hands are ice-cold.  To bad he can't induldge in the micro-fleece sheets Brady and Jeff and I are equipped with. 

Oh well, I am going to go back to dreaming about Texas.  Maybe one day I will return-with family in tow of course.  ;)
