I am starting to plan out my garden! I have never had a garden that was in the ground before so I am rather clueless on what I am going. Last year I did green peppers, summer squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers in 10 gallon buckets on the back porch.
My birthday and Mother’s Day land only a few days apart so I have guilted a few into already promising me that they will spend the day helping me.

I have a childhood friend that isn’t much of a friend anymore. She has lost all her morals and ethics to many times too count and don’t feel that I want to associate with her anymore. She has landed herself in quite the mess this time. Her husband is leaving her and her mom is helping him take the kids. Her job is in jeopardy and the police are involved. She wants me to support her but I can’t. I have supported her errors far too long. She has dug her holes and I’m sick of filling them back up. But I still feel guilty for not helping and turning my back. I know I have given her so many chances, but this time its gone too far and I can’t support what she’s done (again). Plus, it bothers me that it in turn hurts my family.
All that said I am still sad for what’s going on and I wish her 3 kids didn’t have to deal with it.

G is seriously having some “monster” issues these days. He can not only have darkness in a room he’s in…but the ones surrounding them. It’s great for the electric bill ya know! The other night he woke up screaming and when I went in there he told me to lie down (as in his little toddler bed with him). Once I laid down he said “cuddle” so I wrapped my arms around him. Next came a line that was so precious to me:
“Hold me close & keep me safe”
I want those words forever burned into my brain.
My DVR hit 100% last night and I missed the last 10 minutes of Lost & American Idol. Ugh! Now I don’t know who got sent home! Need to erase some shows!

I know I snuck another in there but they are all so worthy…I wish I didn’t have to stop there!
congrats on your award, and thank you so much for picking me to receive it as well!!!
you are such a wonderful bloggy friend of mine, and i have enjoyed getting to “know” you in the blog world! i love your page, and always enjoy reading it and checking out your fantastic items on your etsy page!
The randomness was wonderful. I’m really sorry about your friend. I have a very hard time with change, even if the change is for the better. A very wise friend of mine said that practice always has to be based on principle. It seems like supporting her bad judgement is against your principles. Good luck.

Thanks for the award and congrats for yours.
It is hard when someone you have cultivated a friendship with has an issue that is destructive. Hopefully the kids will be able to come out of whatever this is and be okay.
I just read an article that toddlers suffer from night terrors. My son actually suffered when he was an infant and the ped. thought it was the nightmares. Thankfully they did not last long.
And I enjoyed the randomness.
Hey I like the random bloggin 🙂 I too have lost friends over the years, funny how people change over the cousre of years
I am a fan of random blogging…it gives a chance to learn a little about one another. Sorry about your friend…hopefully, she will straighten her life out. You can probably find out which AI was sent home somewhere on the internet – try Yahoo! We are getting our garden ready to plant also. We have a huge raised bed for ours because our soil is so rocky….great post…enjoyed it!
Randomness is good! Clears the mind and soul.
I’m sorry your friendship is on the rocks, but sometimes being a true friend is not supporting decisions that you know are harmful.
Good luck with your little guy. I’t hard when your little ones feel scared and vulnerable. You have everything he needs to feel safe!
Aww thanks so much – you are so sweeet!!!
You probably heard by now, but Alexis got sent home on American Idol.
Good luck w/ your garden, I plant at least tomatoes every yr. too.
I had a similar situation w/ a friend I knew since elementary school.
How about a night light? My daughter won’t go to sleep without one.
That last comment was from me. It got published as anonymous – sorry!
Awww…thanks so much! It is my first Blogger award to put on my blog…love it! Thanks for thinking of me. 🙂
Sorry to hear about your friend. I went through a similar situation. The person truly hit rock bottom before they started making better decisions. It is so hard to sit by and watch it happen though. 🙁
Congrats on your award. I like the randomness…it gives us insight into your daily life.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Maybe this will be the wake-up call she needs to turn her life around.
You are adorable! And soo talented! Congrats on the award and I look forward to reading more about you!
Jennifer, thank you so much for selecting me to receive this award. You are the sweetest!! it’s no wonder you got it first! 😉
