It's been such a nice week! The weekend was pretty simple actually. Mothers Day was just the most relaxing day. I went to church, Bevs for lunch, then Bev, the boys and I loaded up and went to the greenhouse. We bought garden supplies and flowers for mothers day. I got herbs! It was such a nice fun time. We went to G&G Kost to see Grandma for Mothers Day. We had a nice visit. Brody was acting up all day long. He was so fussy off and on and pretty short tempered with Cole. He couldn't look at him and Brody would start screeching and screaming. Poor Cole he puts up with so much crap from him, just because of his little attitude. Bev and I then went to Dollar General so I could buy some potting soil and planters and garden supplies to plant all my new goodies.
After we dropped Bev off at home the boys and I came home and started planting. We spend a couple hours designing up some awesome flower pots and arrangements and planting in my herbs. I got Rosemary, Chives, Cilantro, mint, basil, and onion sets. I am having to make a "ghetto garden" as I called it, because Bill has told me he's going to tear up the yard later this summer and try to work on the slope and landscaping. He wants to pile up the dirt around the house and slope it out in the yard to keep the water running away from the basement walls. We have an extremely dry basement here and the walls are perfect, he wants to keep it that way! I decided that it wasn't fair I couldn't have a garden in my new house and we have enough concrete out back I bought a planter and planted a tomato plant and have it all caged up, then I bought some under the bed shallow storage totes and poked some holes in them and planted onion sets in there! I am excited to get those growing and have fresh ONIONS and MATERS!!! I hope my tomato plant blooms and makes some good maters. I would really like to also go back and get a cherry tomato plant. The boys love cherry tomatoes. I think those grow better in a pot anyhow!
Everything is planted now, and it feels good to go out and water and tend to things. I am going to use some basil in a recipe tomorrow I watched them make on the cooking channel it was Asparagus lasagna and it looks soooo YUMMY! I can't wait to make it and see how it is! It has sun dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, onions, ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, bacon crumbles, asparagus and noodles. It looked so good on TV and I can't wait to give it a try!
This is a busy busy week for us. Monday was baseball practice, Tuesday was scouts, Wednesday, today, Cole has kidzone and I will have to pick him up at 5 then ball practice at 6:30 in Plymouth, then tomorrow, Thursday it's the Spring Music concert at school. Friday night is Carla's purse party and then I am meeting up with the girls for a few drinks and some Karaoke for Carla Rodeffers Birthday. Saturday is ball practice first thing in the morning and then Anna's Pinning is around lunch time, then her graduation that evening and then Buffalo Wild Wings for a little party afterwards. Its going to be a LONG day Saturday. I think other than church on Sunday we are pretty free. If it doesn't rain, I'd like to get our yard mowed. It sure needs it. Been two weeks almost since Bill mowed last.
I am staying home today doing laundry and cleaning my house. It needs it. I'm letting Brody sleep in and get rested up too, maybe he will be in a good mood! I might turn on the air today, my allergies are really kicking in with all these windows open and spending so much time outside with the pollen so high. I'm taking my allegra, but my throat is so sore and I keep sneezing all day long and my nose is running now too. Ugh. I hate allergies. I wish I didn't have them and neither did the guys. I enjoy having all the windows open and airing this place out, but we can't do it very long or very often or we all get so sick.
I am up to 89 lbs lost now. That's ELEVEN pounds away from my 100 lb mark!!!! I am super HAPPY with how well I feel and how HAPPY I am. I have more energy than I've had in years and years and I am like the energizer bunny, I just keep going all day long and half way into the night! I can't sleep very early anymore. I just lay awake and want to do more things! I've been keeping things caught up nicely because of all this energy!!!
