I am craving.....

YARD WORK!!!!!!!!! I don't think there has even been a time, in all of my 24 years that I could say that with conviction. As a matter of fact, I should call my parents pronto and let them know. I am sure they wouldn't believe that all those years of begging, PLEADING, and FIGHTING with me about yard work would pay off. I seriously can't even describe the urge (I hate that word)to just walk outside, water my lawn, dig up weeds, plant flowers, and rake the leafs. I want to smell dirt and water mixed together. I want to smell water on cement. I want to drench the cement with water, and LAY on it. I want to LAY FLAT ON MY BELLY, and smell the cement and water together. I want the sun to beat down on my face. I want to fill the baby pool full of water, and water Grace and Finn play around while I read and book and watch.
There are so many powerful words throughout history. I am such a believer in the power of words. I am sitting here thinking about all those powerful words, and somehow all those words can't describe how much I want to do the things above.

I understand that these cravings are funny. Maybe its the fact that I can't walk, sit down, or stand up without grunting in pain. My hips and lower back are in so tight, and painful. Maybe its the fact that I can't lay on my belly. Or perhaps the fact that I have no energy to do anything out of the ordinary?

All I know is that my mind is SCREAMING at me to go and partake of this change of seasons, but my body simply WILL NOT allow me these cravings.

When you said 'watch grace and Finn play' I thought 'what? How is my Finn playing with her grace?' then I remembered you guys also have the coolest name for your dog!

And the change of seasons is making me angry because I hate that it is warm so soon. I would much rather be drinking hot cocoa, wearing my boots and sweaters, and various cold weather pursuits right now.

The only redeeming factor to living in the valley is my family. Now how to convince them all to move to colorado...
