Spring has sprung

and I feel like spinning barefoot in the grass without cares or worries and just drinking in its blossoms, warmth and goodness.

Even though, I woke up incredibly grouchy this morning and was snippety with Dave. We all had a late night after Thomas slipped in the tub and busted his lip open. A trip to the ER and suddenly my boys and I were staring at 11 p.m. with sleepy eyes still open. As if that somehow justified my being moody and grumpy.

Thankfully Dave is a much less hard-going than I can be at times and didn't respond the same way. Then the sun played it's magic on me and of course I'm back to feeling carefree and happy. Grateful for Dave's patience. Grateful Thomas' big, bad swollen lip didn't end up needing stitches. And just grateful to be.

It's a blessing that our significant others know exactly what to do and say when we're not feeling it ourselves.

I love the suns magic.
