  • I was dead serious.See the tiny little plants here? Cats kept sitting in the comfy lettuce patch, and then digging in the dirt and covering up my poor little seedlings. Think I'll start them indoors from now on and put…
  • I forked my lettuce tonight. Damn cats.(Picture soon - need to download it on dh's computer.)
  • It's not even 10:30am. I've already cleaned vomit off the shag carpeting. It's going to be a fun day.
  • I have a problem. A serious problem.I just can't help myself around gardening stuff anymore. *sigh* If it's not one thing, it's another.While blissfully shopping a few nights ago after hitting the gym, I passed by a …
  • I have been an absolute sloth today.I haven't done squat.Unless you count taking a shower and making rice krispie treats. That's it. Need to go to the gym at some point, but tonight is "Leftover Night!" so I don't have…
  • It's spring. I think.Raspberry cane. And the cutie eating an entire banana muffin. Whole thing. Apple blossoms.Apricot blossoms.Can you see the little baby lettuces?The crazy ass rhubarb that just keeps coming bac…
  • Pepper seedlings are finally starting to come up!There are currently 6-10 lettuce seedlings out in the garden.And I have almost 150 tomato seedlings downstairs as well. Oops.
  • Are we smart or just plain cheap?I've given up on birthday parties. No one comes. Just my mom, and she comes up about once a month regardless. So what I think we've decided to do for the little guy's 1st birthday is t…
  • Ha.No Bex, nothing exciting. I'm just that boring and we have a bunch of stuff in the pantry and freezers and there's nothing good on sale.
  • You know what's on my grocery list for this week?Croutons, marshmallows and 3 cloves of garlic.Oh, and a jug of Odwalla orange juice from Costco.That's it. At least so far.
  • For Bex. I just wrote down what we did. Nothing too fancy.Sunday9pm - Took out homemade macaroni and cheese to thaw for dinner tomorrowN was up most of the night - turns out not only is he pretty much teething, but he'…
  • HowManyOfMe.comThere are 0 people with my name in the U.S.A.How many have your name?Well, that's not exactly a shocker.Anyway. I've got lots of sprouts to love on downstairs. They're just so cute! And I'm amazed that …
  • Woke up today to discover about 13 little tomato sprouts! Yay! No peppers yet though. Eh, they've got another week or two before I start freaking out.ETA: And a little tomatillo sprout! Whoo-hoo!!Legs are also killin…
  • Psychedelic bath time. Snag some glow sticks (or bracelets!) from the dollar store. Crack and throw in tub with kiddos. Turn light off. Fun ensues. The older one especially likes it when I leave one bracelet unbent…
  • I forget whether I've mentioned this here, but our local grocery store rocks. They have these stupid 12-hour sales (so I have to plan my week around it). Which aren't really stupid, other than it's only 8am-8pm, and gu…
  • I feel like shit. House looks like shit. Ugh.Woke up this morning to two plugged up nostrils and that fun dry mouth from breathing through it all night. Shortly discovered that I was leaning a little to the left while…
  • So, yeah, I'm a little bored with dh gone because I can't yap my head off while he's ignoring me (in a good way though). Not a whole lot of super-stimulating conversations happening with kids who are still in diapers an…
  • I also need to apologize in advance for this entire summer.I'm going to be a bit of a gardening freak.I'll be talking about stuff like that, and knowing me, showing off with photos.A lot.I'm sorry.
  • Today's been going pretty decent, despite the snotty nostril.Got the boys all packed up into the stroller/trailer, and took off for a walk, despite the sprinkle/drizzle/rain and wind/no wind combinations out there. Pass…
  • I love him, really I do. We just frustrate each other sometimes.Debating doing a little batch of parsley or just doing chives instead... We'd probably have more use for the chives, and to make things fun, two little bri…
  • The middle of nowhere photos.Grandpa's way cool house. We totally wish we could find something like that.What annoys us though is that the current owners put an addition on the back. And put vinyl siding on it. Come…
  • Hold on to your horses, here we go. The day before we left for the middle of nowhere, I got a few things in the mail.Lunch carrying paraphenalia...That the big one immediately had to put to use. He now points at them an…
  • The decapitation has begun. Wish us luck.
  • Oh Lord.Guess who sorta took his first step just now? Granted, he was sort of hurling himself towards me, but it was a step.And guess who got pissed he couldn't put his older brother's train track back together?Yeah, we…
  • My dh rocks. He did the whole sinkful and counterful of dishes last night. He's awesome.So now I need to get off my lazy ass and take a shower, decapitate some milk jugs and drill some yogurt containers. Oh, and stalk…
  • I think he's teething.Again.Just a few weeks ago he got another front top tooth and 3 molars.He's now drooling like a faucet (seriously, I set him on the floor and not a minute later there was a puddle in the carpet) and…
  • It's freakin' snowing. On April 2nd.I had been planning to go out and get some potting soil for my seeds, but there's no way I'm dragging the two kidlets out in the snow.Oh, and the little one? Has turned into velcro b…
  • 12 hours total. 10 hours of driving. Dh totally rocks for doing the whole thing. I took naps and was the snack distributor.Big one did surprisingly well, but the little one, not so much.Discovered JB's Restaurant has …
