Good morning. It's Thursday again.

Morning ladies and gents! I hope you're having a peaceful day thus far. Mine is pretty decent, though busy as always. Tim ended up having to work today, so it's just the 4 year old and me here today.

Yesterday I finally got my garden planted. Tim and I worked on it all last weekend, and I was just waiting to find to time to do that actual planting. I wasn't feeling too well yesterday (damn pollen), but I wanted to get it finished, so the girls and I went out and did it. Now we just wait until the little sprouts start popping through. We planted corn, green beans, leaf lettuce, carrots, grape tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and onions. I still need to do the potatoes and beets, but the garden plot is full now and I don't know where I'm going to put them. LOL. Leave it to me to fill up a garden before I'm done planting!

This morning I've already washed two loads of laundry, started the dishwasher, fed the little one, written and submitted an article, watched last week's Dollhouse episode, watched last night's Lost episode, and have been texting with Tim. And it's not even 8:30am yet. It's been busy, and I still have to work on more writing while listening to the youngest begging for something to eat even though she just finished her breakfast.

Sooooo, tomorrow is the big day. Tim is ready to get it over with as the anticipation is probably far worse than the actual procedure will be. I should probably get some groceries today since I won't be leaving his side tomorrow for more than just long enough to pick the girls up at school tomorrow. Even then I'll probably just get them from the office instead of waiting in the pick-up line, making it only about 15 minutes that he'll be home alone.

He thinks I'm over-planning, but that's the way I am. I'm big on making plans, schedules, lists, anything that keeps my plans in tidy order. I like to know what's to be expected, and I don't like unhappy surprises. Apparently the children are the same way because any little change in their normal routine can put them in a fierce mood. They are their mother's daughters. LOL.

Anyway, his appointment is tomorrow at 10am. We'll leave here about 8:30am in order to drop the youngest with my grandmother for the day. Then we have a 45 minute drive south to the office. We'll probably get there about 15 minutes early--I'm always early to appointments anyway--in case we have anymore paperwork to fill out, and to give enough time for his valium to kick in.

Then it's V-Time! ;-) It's suppose to take 15-30 minutes and he'll have a local, so he shouldn't feel a thing. Plus he won't care what they're doing with that valium in his system. LOL.

Nevertheless, I'll update tomorrow afternoon/evening when I have time.

I'm out for today. I hope you have a good one! :-)

Thursday Thirteen 5/1/2008

Gosh, can you believe that it's already May 1st? Where have the months gone? On the upside, this brings me a month closer to my beach vacation. LOL! It's the only real vacation that we ever take and I always look forward to it so much. What's more relaxing than lying on the beach, the sun shining down on you, and listening to the waves beating against the shore? Awww, I may need to pull out my home videos from last summer to get a dose of that sound. ;-)

So, it's Thursday again, and here I am trying to figure out what my Thirteen should be about. I never know until I sit down to write it. But this time I'm in a gardening mood, so I'll post about my upcoming garden planting............

Thirteen Things I'll Be Planting:
1. corn
2. green beans
3. beets
4. cucumbers
5. tomatoes
6. potatoes
7. bell peppers
8. leaf lettuce
9. carrots
10. watermelon
11. cauliflower
12. cabbage
13. onions

There you have it! With gas and food prices going so high, we will be cutting back on a lot of things this summer. So the family and I have decided that we will grow a large garden this summer. I'd like to have enough produce growing to feed us during the summer AND to have enough for freezing and canning for the winter. I've also informed the kids and hubby that this is a FAMILY project, not a MOMMY project. I expect them all to help if they plan on eating. LOL!

Alright, that's it for today. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday. :-)
