Tonight Z had a really bad headache and didn't go to baseball, he went to bed instead. That worked out really well for me. G went to B's baseball game with EB and I stayed home. This is prime productivity time for me, but something happened and not a whole lot got done. I took the puppies for a walk, tried to water the garden, did a couple of dishes, prepped for breakfast and now I am sitting on the couch under a blanket. Yes I know it is June and I am cold. No the air is not on.
I really need to get back to blogging on a regular basis. There so many truly important things to tell you.
Like....
How my dogs crack me up. They act like children. They talk to each other and then get mad when the other doesn't respond.
How G is singing church hymns in the shower, nope, she just changed to Taylor Swift.
How the wind just won't quit blowing and ruining the $200 in plants that I just put in.
How, tonight, I ate two rice krispy treats and then buried the wrappers in the garbage can. Then I ate a handful of stale cereal and then a handful of stale chips. Why I continued to chew and then swallow them, after I realized how bad they were, is beyond me. PMS
How I woke up with a tick crawling on my arm a week ago and haven't slept well since. And in spite of the tick medicine on the pups, we keep having to pull them off them. It is so hard to find them on Ellie, since she has silky black fur. Tick check.
How EB and his friend totally messed up my satellite tv while trying to wire the house for the upcoming internet connection. I haven't had tv since Monday, which wouldn't really matter except I need my weather! I need to know in advance if I am going to blow away while walking the dogs.
How my trainer made me do squats while holding a 30 pound wight bar over my head. My inner thighs hurt!!
How our former tenants are suing us for the security deposit, claiming we didn't properly notify them that we were keeping it.
How I added a 1/2 ton of rock around my pond and it looks so much better.
How my 12 year old believes he needs braces based on an assessment by his 12 year old friend. He has perfectly straight teeth.
Don't you feel like a more complete person just by reading this!
Is 8:25 too early to go to bed.
Happy 70th Birthday to the most wonderful daddy a girl could ever ask for! My very own super-hero!

Is it spring yet.
I just spent a week in Hilton Head and to come back to this weather has been more than a little depressing. I really thought we would be having weather in the 70s, at least. Tomorrow, G & Z have track and field and I am afraid they are going to have to wear their long underwear under the shorts.
I have been trying to get some work done outside, in between the training, baseball, swimming lessons, work and cleaning the inside of the house, but it is not going all that quickly. Looks like most of my perennials came back, with the exception of the columbine. It seemed like it was coming back, but we must have had a couple of cold days last week and now it is deceased. Oh well, I bought a couple of new ones to stick in there. I really need to be a little more thoughtful about what I buy, but I have a tendency to just try to get it done. Now that I look at it, it needs more color. Anybody have any suggestions for colorful perennials. I have lot of different textures and even lots of shares of green, but not much color.
I do have a bunch of pots on my porch that I will finish filling with annuals, for color, but even those seem to be primarily green.
While I was in Hilton Head on my workation, my wonderful daddy weeded my 10 x 10 vegetable garden and it was in sad shape. The weeds were thick and 3 feet tall. It was beautiful. The children helped, but you know how that goes. Sunday night I rand to Mainerds at 7, during the only hour of sunshine, so I could get some tomatoes, cucumbers and beans. I got them planted and weed block down by 9:00. We will have cucumbers again. YEAH. My co-workers will be happy.
Enough of the garden growing, how about those children growing. G & Z turned 10 on Saturday. 10 how does that happen. We are lame parents and did not have a party or anything. We did take them shopping and out to lunch, what more do they need.
My mom got G the American Girl book "The Care and Keeping of You". It has made for many interesting conversations over the last couple of days. The book is great and very thorough! I had already had a chat with her about the some of the stuff they cover in the book, but maybe not in enough detail. She said, to those sitting at the dining room table, including her grandfather, "This book is full of the "V" word and the "B" word. Some of this stuff is just disgusting". I thought I was going to spit out my drink. Later on we had a lovely talk, on our walk, about tampons. So if you have a girl and are not comfortable starting those conversations the book should take care of starting them for you. Very accurate illustrations too.
Lucky you who only have boys! Your conversations are much simpler, body hair and morning penis. Okay I guess that is a good closer.
Happy Wednesday! At least I think it is Wednesday.
