Spring Malaise? Or Just Plain Tired?

I am beginning to think there is an energy monster out there who is draining the energy from my family.  Lately all we want to do is sleep.  Now I understand that pollen counts have been high but lately they are only in the moderate range. Of course school is winding down and finals are coming up but there is 2 more weeks before finals start.  I am still putting in long hours but have been able to cut back a bit.  So Why, Why is my whole family so tired?  Maybe it is just a spring malaise. 

When we lived in Utah, spring was invigorating.  We had been cold and gloomy for so long that sunshine and warmer temperatures were a welcome change.  But here in the south it never gets very gloomy nor very cold.  Spring is the harbinger of a hot muggy summer.  It just may be the thought of the hot humid weather that has us exhausted.  Who knows?  What I do know is that none of us is sleeping very well and we all are constantly tired.

Once again my time has not been my own.  I did work in the garden a little this past week.  As well as take care of other things. We had the missionaries over to the house for dinner on Thursday, which is always nice.  I have not done much in the way of crafting though.  And that is not good.  I have developed a sort of apathy towards everything. 

My husband and daughter did pick up some Magic Glos for me on Friday.  I actually have all I need to start playing with making resin pendants.  Maybe we (Tatianna and I) will try it later this week.

I am about finished with another chevron strip on my quilt project, which is kind of sad.  I was doing 4-5 a week when I first started it. But now I am down to maybe 1 a week.  I bought a couple of quilt pounce pads so I can mark the bronchitis quilt once I get the borders on it.  I am thinking I will try free motion quilting it on my new machine.  I have gotten the fabric, for binding the full sized tied quilt, washed and am going to get it ironed this afternoon.  I may even cut it.

Of course I took a nap after church so I am somewhat awake, but I still want to sleep.  I don't dare though because I definitely won't sleep tonight if I do.  So I better get myself busy doing something.
