Strange Times

yeah, so despite going to the park yesterday to tucker the kids out, they woke up at 12:30 and then at 1 am for no real good reason.  Then, they decided that it was the perfect time to run and play…until 3 am.  Then poof! back to bed without a fuss.

I’m wiped.  I just cleaned bathrooms at Mom and Dad‘s house, and mopped the kitchen floor with my little “helpers”.  At least my parents will get to come home to clean house, that is more than my hubby can say most days.

And way back when, we started a garden…..well, what managed to survive is doing great.  We are going to have a TON of tomatos.  And we have several nice poblano peppers growing and even a few anaheim peppers (it was a mystery plant that I bought).  The peppers were started a little when we got them, so I am not going to take too much credit for them….but the roma tomatos were started as seeds on my kitchen windowsill.  And they are going nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can’t wait to try them.  There are going to be a lot of mexican food being cooked around here…….

I wii fit -ed for 40 minutes last night…..but alas, today….I just don’t have the energy……could it be lack of sleep?

Weekend….

I feel like I should be doing something….but I don’t know what.  I want to go to the gym, but that means waiting for the hubby to get home, or 4 pm whichever comes first.  I want to go to kohls…I NEED to get my eyebrows waxed….but when it is this windy, and the kids are being this fussy….it doesn’t seem worth it to even try to leave the house.

We have gusts of 50 mph.  Daniel is still “rashy” despite bathing him every night for the last 4 nights and slathering him up like a little greased pig…..but the allergist said to do it, so we will give it the old college try.

On the lighter side…I am starting to grow vegetables.  From seeds.  This will be a first for me.  I am notorious for having a “black thumb”.  But the hubby says that he is pretty good at growing vegetables (or at least he was when he was younger).  So I am kind of half listening to him, half hoping it will work, and half reading lots online about vegetable gardens.

We hopefully will have radishes, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, peas and onions.  So far the radishes have already germinated and sprouted up out of the soil.  Damn, that was fast…

Oh…and the hubby is supposed to be building me a vegetable box….tomorrow…so I can transfer the little radishes…..I am willing to bet that he spends more of the day on the couch complaining about how there is nothing on than actually working on the garden.  We are borrowing mom and dad’s expedition to get soil and lumber…or rather the hubby is, and I am going to be at home with the kids.  We will see how it goes.

I am not motivated even a little bit to think about what to have for dinner.  Maybe we will just hit Papa Johns and get a pizza.

By the way…I am sure you noticed some changes with my blog and tags, etc.  Let me know what you think!  It’s Zemanta…and I think it is pretty nifty….. something that actually works with wordpress, yee ha!
