Oh, Hey
Remember me?
I have been busy digging holes in the earth, and planting things in them. Exciting times. I have an herb garden, a veggie garden, and several flower beds in the works. I loooooove this time of year in Texas. Last night I grilled Salmon and mozarella chicken sausage. Tonight, I threw beef fajittas on the grill from the Mexican meat market, and watched the littlest Lea sleep in his hammock swing I bought him in Mexico last summer. I CAN NOT BELIEVE it’s almost summer again.
The past year I made a conscience decision to live my life every day….really live it. We have made priority shifts so we can marinate ourselves in life’s sweet abundance. Like I said in my last post, I’m guarding my mouth from negative words. Taking the time to think before I speak, and focusing on the plethora of good (instead of the minuscule amounts of the unpleasant) made a HUGE difference in my (and my family’s) quality of life.
This semester of school is wonderful. I love every class. When I was younger, school was more of a chore, but now I am enjoying the privillage of having knowledge poured into me like I never have before. How cool is it that I get a grade for going to see a play?
Every day is a compromise. Just ask the nine loads of clean laundry waiting to be put away. *confession: I ran out of baskets to put the mounting clean clothes in, and started using a cardboard moving box. I did get my carpets steam cleaned and potty’s scrubbed though. Hurah for small victories!
Now, all you super people go buy yourself something nice.

Joey, that is so fun! How are you feeling? I know you must be ready mama.
Tracee, You can start an herb garden from seeds for less than 10.00. We bought sunflowers this year too. I’m holding off on getting tomato plants in the ground. We still might have a cold snap (or another tornado.)
