Okay maybe not technically, but ever since I was a kid I have felt that March has dragged on. Maybe because I was waiting for spring break or maybe it is because spring is just starting to show her face or maybe because it is one of the longer months. Who knows, but yet again I feel her dragging.
I significantly upped my vitamin D intake (like from 400 IU's to 5K IU's a day) and I have been actually feeling better. I noticed last March I was REALLY groggy as there was more light. I had a really hard time getting out of bed and it was awful, but I started feeling it this year and since I upped my vitamin D that groggy feeling has up and gone away. I have even thought about tanning, but I just don't have the motivation. We need to get one of those SAD lamps to sit under all winter ;)
Avery is keeping busy. She is still in her Kindermusik class. We have 1 more month of that and preschool. I did take her to an "Outdoor Preschool" last week that was a lot of fun. They take a little hike, sing songs and roast hotdogs and apples over a fire. It was low tide so they got to see lots of sea stars and other various creatures. I think we will go occasionally over the summer, but it is way up on North Douglas and a good 35 minute drive. I just can't commit to a weekly habit. But, we met some new friends and got some really good ideas. Maybe I can convince a friend of mine up on this side of town to start another outdoor preschool for us "out the road" and "valley" folk. She is on the waiting list for the new preschool gymnastics class in town and I will be going to an open house to check out the preschool we want her to attend next fall. Hopefully, we can get her in. It is really popular and she can't even enroll until she turns 3. So we will see.
Sam's horse work is picking up. With full time at the small animal place and the horse stuff, he is in for a busy busy summer. We meet again with Bicknell next Wednesday and hopefully we can get that show on the road in the next month. I really hope we don't have to wait for May, but there is still some snow on the ground and is still freezing over night. But, we are mid 40's during the day! Soon! We are also still homeless for the month of July. So the plan is to put our stuff in storage and feel around a bit longer, but Avery, Tasha and I may be headed north for a month to stay with my parents. I am putting feelers out and coming back empty handed, but not giving up yet.
