Crazy, then mud

Every once in awhile I start freaking out and go a little nuts...
(Ok, maybe I do it everyday, but you don't need to know that.)

My fingernails just hanging on the edge of the world and if I let go, I will tumble down into a large deep dark hole, never to be found again. Between coming up with the money for this camp for Krischan and bills and food and gas and... and... and... AAAHHHHHHH!

Damn you big black mailbox, were is what I need.

Deep breath...

In moments like these, I take a step outside, and outside is...mud.


And my garden is a swampy, muddy mess.


It is hard to believe that this patch grew wonderful green beans, spaghetti squash, zucchini, cucumbers, herbs, and strawberries. Wonder what it will grow this year.

Hey, is that there green growing?


It is! Iris's they last through anything. If you are a black thumb, plant those. I have mowed over them and they popped back up. Seriously...I mowed over them all summer one year. They refuse to die.

Kadence isn't too sure on her feet in her brothers boots, so she looked like this a lot today on our walk.


Horse therapy. I don't know what her name is, I think I will call her Madge. No, they aren't mine. I have three kids and a dog are you crazy? I don't need anything else. Although I would like some chickens...


Another deep breath and the little ones take a go down the slide one last time.

Back inside...that line of where sanity ends and insanity begins is awfully close...

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.

Musings over a weekend

The weather was beautiful, got to go out on a date with my husband, and got in my garden for some therapy. How much more perfect can a weekend get. On weekends like this my mind wanders (ok it always wanders) and I have specific thoughts that sometimes stick out like neon lights. Musing #1 I can not wait till the day where the only butt I have to wipe, is my own. Musing #2 In three weeks, if it is meant to be...we will have a new family member. (baby puppy..said in the most baby of voices...EVER!) Musing #3 If I had the money, I would hire Martha Stewart to organize my home from the basement on up. (She would be horrified by my current state of organization.) Musing #4 Amazing, I take my husband to a healthy restaurant, and he finds the most unhealthy thing to eat. Musing #5 I am going to wake up at 6:30 so I can get ready for the day, make my cup of coffee, and then go out and watch the sunrise. (that one is pretty funny. I can't remember the last time I actually ...

My dishwasher died.

A couple of weeks ago our dishwasher was a loud raucous annoyance. It didn't used to be, it was one of those "quiet" dishwashers. Well, we use it so much I think we kind of slowly started killing it. It got louder and louder as the years passed, till it was at the point it was a couple of weeks ago. I am not kidding. It was so loud I would only run it when I was leaving the house. You couldn't even watch a movie because it would over power the movie. Then one day, we noticed it was back in it's quiet mode. Dishes looked clean, and they were...for a week. Yesterday I opened the dishwasher to put the dishes away and noticed they weren't even close to clean. There was a big pile of detergent just sitting on the bottom of the washer. Doesn't the soap know that it needs to get up into the dishwasher to clean? So this is my thought. Screw calling someone to fix it. We know that story, it costs just as much to fix it than to buy a new one. I say we buy two ...
