Time Flies…
Well the summer flew and apparently I took time off from blogging. It has been a busy summer.
Garden went well. Of course it got dry since I had posted about it raining too much. So we had to water it. Amazing how well things did though. I have gotten about 4 green peppers, bunches of tomatoes- though I can never seem to get enough together to make salsa. My carrots look good- though I only have pulled a few- hard to tell when you are just looking at pretty leafy tops. Scallion onions are ’spicy’. Dracula doesn’t stand a chance! Oh and the cherry tomatoes (specifically sweet 100) are great!. Just oodles of little red orbs that burst with flavor in your mouth. I need to plant them again. Sadly the different flower seeds I planted only yielded moss roses- the rest just didn’t do anything. The 30 strawberries I planted died and the blueberries shared their fate. Our oak tree had a ton of nuts that are keeping several squirrles happy. Lucky we grabbed a few nuts in hopes of gaining a few more oaks.
Children are in school. Both seem to be doing well. Though it doesn’t stop me from being anxious about them learning to their potential. Fun to see what new things they bring home. My DS’s are great joys. I sure do miss them during the day.
DD is a bit lost without them. She and I will have to keep eachother company. She would hop on the bus with them in a minute. I have been just quick enough to keep her here. She hops out of bed in the morning almost faster than her brothers and dresses quickly. There won’t be much to slow her down in the next few years.
I am doing a bit of baby sitting. A relatives two girls- 5 and 2. They are busy and mom is extra busy at work. A bit of trial by fire. So far the asbestos suit seems to be holding up. Not sure I am good at the job. We will see.
I do like the hours and that I can stay home. I don’t want to have to get a job. I have a good list of what I want in a job and as far as I can see the job doesn’t really exist. Right now I am just a SAHM. I like it that way. Would be awesome to pen a great novel or twenty, have a couple bestsellers a few must reads and maybe a movie. Ok maybe I like to dream… while I am might as well dream big.
Weightloss wise - well I got down a bit and am back up then lolligagged not doing any serious work at it. Today I think I am serious. I realized either last night or the night before that I am not on that high I was when I was losing. I think I need it back. Also I would like to be done. Ha! jokes on me there… make it sound like I can just quit when I get there. well. I can’t, I need this to be long term perminant. I don’t want to have this fight all my life. Though I think I will have to fight the rest of my like to some extent, but would like to not have to work so hard for every little pound.
SO now off to skim Mom’s group book. Check kids and get snack ready.
