Green Thumb

Or lets hope anyway.

 So this will be my first spring as a home owner. The start of gardening season! My neighbor who has an awesome garden has been getting things ready so I figured I should follow suit.

 So there is my little green house. Carrots and watermelon because that is what Hannah wanted to grow. Tomatoes because there is NOTHING quite like a garden tomato! Cucumbers because i wanted to try them.

 Next to the house, where flowers had been last year... I am planting Potatoes and onions. We shall see, it gets full sun, or so I thought but now after planting I notice the tree will at some point get leaves, and probably shade a good part of my plot... Either way, it was a nice time out in the dirt today. The kids even helped. Bailey played with a few worms, spread out some nice soil, got some rocks out... Hannah picked up weeds I had thrown, and garden tools and planted the onion bulbs with me.

 I am sore now, and really hoping that my hard work yields results!

 Tomorrow if it doesn't rain I plan on getting the garden bed ready to go. I got a full size shovel today so it should be a bit easier! I think that whole little plot will be taken up by our watermelons though... I am going to do the other plants in containers, near the fence so they can grow up it.

 I also got a thing of strawberries, rhubarb and asparagus, but I am unsure where and how to plant them. I need to research! I know the strawberries and asparagus will not even be ready to harvest this year, sadly... but MMMM for future years to come!!

 So that is what I have been up to pretty much all weekend. I had a house full of kids, but it was not so bad, because they played outside, and were good. This was a nice weekend. I am so very glad that spring is here. It was so nice having the windows open, and listening to my wind chimes, chime!

 hello spring, GOODBYE winter!

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
