Spring OR Sprung

I'm starting to scare myself. Spring fever has gotten to me every since they put the siding on my house!
I've been cleaning out the cabinets next to my tiny desk/laptop area. It has been PILED full of books and papers and stuff that I had no idea what was in there anymore so have been sorting it all out and trying to clean out the half next to my tiny desk to use while keeping the other side for books etc. I have the books in containers that I can actually see what the books are this time...........maybe some day I can actually read them.
I've only gotten one side cleaned out. Haven't started on the other side yet.
Taking an email break,,,,, only I have no emails from anyone. :(

I had a very hectic morning. Spring fever has also bitten two little boys! Yesterday was the first day of the two week Easter break from school so both boys are here all day. They were very well behaved and it was a pretty good day full of crafts and playing.

This morning Kyle must of taken energy pills and plugged his ears and Conner was in his terrible two's again. Within the 10 minutes Vanessa was here before leaving for work Conner had already banged his face on the floor while the boys wrestled and bit his lip. That's how my morning started
then, after three frustrating hours of repeating myself and 100's of "no's" from a recently stubborn two year old, Conner banged the top of his head under the dining table trying to get to Kyle who was sitting in a time out by my feet against the wall next to the table.
With Conner crying and Kyle finally understanding that I wasn't going to put up with anymore, Kyle apologized and Conner was ready to sit and rest his head.

SO, they calmed down and ate some lunch and watched a movie. Jim was coming and going from his Wednesday morning bowling game and taking his mom to get her hair done.
At 1:00pm I put the boys in the car and drove to the stop light and didn't need to go any further because Conner was already sound asleep. I know it's not the greatest habit to have to drive him to take a nap but he's used to falling asleep while I'm driving to get Kyle from school everyday! I NEED the break so if that's what I have to do now then that's what I'm doing. Five minutes of driving is worth the two hour break.

Came home and put Conner in bed. Jim was gone with his mom.

THEN, it was nice. Kyle and I sat at the table and played games together. They were actually educational board games and he was really enjoying them. We played three games. Then he helped me shred papers. I had bought a new shredder. I had a LARGE box of papers to be shredded after cleaning out the file cabinet (which I still have a small amount to sort through). After we finished shredding all the papers I had TWO trash bags of shreds to throw away!

Jim left for his second day of work as an usher at the Padre game little after 3pm. Conner came walking out of the bedroom shortly after. I gave them some food to eat and as they were eating Lance called to say he'd been dropped off at home. So I drove the boys home. Since his truck motor has blown he is getting a ride to work and I'm driving the boys home. It's either that or wait till after 6pm when Vanessa gets off work. Again, it only takes 10 minutes to drive them home.

I came home and felt exhausted. I sat on the couch to watch something and that show "make me a supermodel" was on and it caught my eye because they were all dressed extremely weird doing a catwalk. I fell asleep on the couch before they were done with the catwalk and slept for about 30 minutes.

Then woke up and ate something and began cleaning this cabinet area next to me!

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
