Wow, really?

It's really been over a month since I last blogged? Really? Wow, I must have been awfully busy to not blog.

I have been busy but not that busy.

I spent time planning my sister's baby shower. She is due in less than a month and last Sunday we had her shower. I think it went well and I'm so happy that soon I'll get to hold my new niece.

I can't wait. Of course my sister is ready for it to all be over too. She started getting some false labor pains the other day. We thought maybe we'd have a baby sooner than anticiapted but no such luck.

Hmmm, what else have I been doing? Not much. Spending a lot of time on Cafemom.com like usual.

Today I got most of my garden planted. I still have to do the corn and the rest of the pumpkins and my herbs, but everything else is in, I think. Here is what we are doing this year, tomatoes (which I need to get more of), peppers, lettuce, carrots, peas, two different kinds of zucchini, onions, straightneck summer squash, pickling cucumbers and I think there is something else just don't remember what. I also put in 24 strawberry plants.

I have a huge garden this year compared to last year. I'm so excited. I am hoping to get to Kmart later this week to see what other veggies I can get and maybe even Lowe's too. I love to garden and can't wait for everything to start growing.

Now I have to decide where I am putting my 6 other lilac bushes. I think I may have bought too many but I got an incredible deal and I know we have room for them, it's just the matter of digging the grass up to put them there.

I'm striking

I feel like striking. I'm tired of the crap that I deal with at home some days. Stupid things like those who cannot pick up after themselves. Or my husband who thinks he told me he didn't have any pants for tomorrow only he didn't say it out loud so I could actually hear him.

I woke up this morning stiff and sore after spending time outdoors getting stuff taken care of. I had an ache from the top of my head to my butt. Felt fine to be sitting just hurt to lay or stand.

I finally got some energy and less pain in time to get B to school and go to the store. I did manage to get the dishes done again and the counters cleaned up. The dining room too. Now I'm set to get laundry done tomorrow and the floors mopped. Now to get out of bed early enough tomorrow to get something done before the kids get up.

Oh wait, I'm striking. How hard is it to take out the trash? Obviously too hard. Ack, it will be okay, at least I can vent here, right?

Easter

Easter day was terrific. Even if we did spend it with the in laws. It was the best holiday in a while I think where I didn't have to cook.

We got up and the kids got their Easter "baskets" and they loved everything which is really good. We got ready and were later than I had wanted to be leaving for church. We made it there and managed to still be a few minutes early. The only bad thing is that we had to sit in the balcony alone, but that's okay. We didn't have to worry about disrupting anyone with the kids.

After church we went to the in laws and had a great dinner and we all watched The Bee movie. We kept eating and eating and eating. The kids ate so much it was unbelievable. It was such good food though.

We finally left around 4 and came home and D hid some eggs for the boys. Which is a story in itself. See, B learned all about the Easter bunny in school on Wednesday including him hiding eggs, and mommy didn't know that until yesterday morning, so I had to say that the dog bit the Easter bunny before EB could hide eggs. So when we got home, D quick ran and got the eggs and hid them outside, while I got the kids out of the car. The kids were really surprised and loved it.

We came in and just relaxed. I love just relaxing.

I hope everyone else had a very blessed Easter.

Catching up

I haven't blogged in two weeks. I've been so busy that I haven't had much chance to. I've been trying to get the house cleaned up and have succeeded for the most part.

I'm starting to plan the baby shower for my sister. It will be April 27th. I'm so excited. I wasn't sure what theme I would go with but I think we'll go with the colors brown and pink and then use some teddy bears. I'm so excited.

The boys are both great. B's last day of preschool til next week is tomorrow. He doesn't have speech either until next Thursday. I'm so excited. I think Thursday we're going to bake a cake and maybe make cupcakes.

March

How in the heck is it March already? It seems that we just started the year and its already March. Before you know it my birthday will be here and the kids' birthday next.

If it soon doesn't get warm out, I may just have to cry. I'm so sick of this cold disgusting weather. It's March for crying out loud, it's time to start warming up. It's time for the boys to start having some time outside. The temp was a whopping 36 out today, with a windchill of 30 or less, I'm betting and snow squalls galore. Tomorrow is suppose to be a big 38, but I'm hoping the mercury pushes a little higher and goes to 40 or 45. I am excited because Monday is suppose to be 50. I think if it does get warm out, after we drop B off at preschool, L and I will go to the park. There is a pretty cool one not far from B's preschool so we may go there. Ahhhh, sun and 50s. Don't worry it won't last too long though. Tuesday they are calling for yuck again, rain then maybe snow and sleet again.

Next weekend we do move the clocks ahead. That means an extra hour of sunlight. That will be so nice. In just 3 weeks the start of spring will be here and with it, my husband will turn 38 and the next day will be Easter. Ah, the thoughts of Spring. Yeah.
