My babies ;)

Image
By
Babies require an extraordinary amount of care. I realize that is a complete "duh" statement, but it's been a few years for me, so bear with me.

No, I haven't had a baby recently, but I have noticed that growing plants from seed also requires A LOT of care.

Wanna see my babies? Thought so :) Even if you didn't want to, I'm so proud of them that I can't help myself. I took these pictures this morning. I have to take them outside so they can enjoy the sunshine every day, and bring them all in at night so they can stay warm. And, of course, I have to check them every three hours and admire them, even though there's actually almost nothing to admire ... yet!

This is the whole "kit 'n kaboodle"--my gardening table outside. See them enjoying the sunshine? ;)


These are some of my seedlings:





I love the shape of the new hollyhock leaf. It's so interesting that each seedling looks so unique.
I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait till I plant them in our yard. Tomorrow I'll post pics of our "jungle" backyard and our dismally boring front yard. Then later in the summer I'll do a little "before and after" :)

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Time Will Tell

By
It's always so "wow" to me when I'm going about my business as usual, and "out of the blue" God answers a prayer. I think He's answering my prayer. Time will tell. I've been praying for quite a while about what to do about employment. I want to find a job that I can do only during the day when the kids are at school--I still need to be available to take them to school and pick them up because sometimes my husband needs to go to work early. I have thought about various jobs (subbing, tutoring, doing something with technology 'cause I'm good with computers, finding a business I could do at home that doesn't require much training, etc.) , but child care is usually an issue and for the life of me I can't figure out what I could do from home. I'm soooo not business-oriented. It is so important to me to be there for my kids on a regular basis. I enjoy taking them to school. I enjoy being the one who gets to pick them up from school (exc...
