It seems like the last few days have been so crazy busy.. amd I am exausted. Yet, here I am at 12:10 on blogger, FB and BG. *sigh*
No wonder Im so tired when I cant get myself to bed at a decent hour. I feel like yeah, i should be getting some much needed sleep but its so nice to have time to myself once this kids are asleep to so whatever the heck i want.
The last few days have been so busy.. yesterday, I feel like i spent all day in the kitchen. Mallory and myself were busy making a kajillion sugar cookies and decorating them and if that wasnt enough I spend a good chunk of time making home made hamburger buns and of course delicious bacon burgers to go along with them.. today was full of making a loaf a spicy white bread (yum) and making pizza dough for home made pizza tonight and crazy me is even considering making home made bagels tomorrow. what am I thinking? lol maybe tomorrow I'll give myself a break of my kitchen duties.
Today the girls and myself took advantage of this oddly cool day and went out and marked where our garden will be. Our Garden you ask? Yeah, Mallory found a baggie full of my empty seed packets from last summer and now is really intent of having a garden this year. So today we went out and i raked up and plowed the dirt to make a nice sized plot.. this year we're actually going to have a real garden but it wont be an easy task.
Since there is such poor soil here, we need to buy bagged soil so our veggies will actually grow to mix in with the sand and soil already in place.. we have to get a fence.. atleats 3 feet high to keep out those giant jack rabbits.
Also on our list are green houses.. the little 30 or 50 plot plastic ones to start my seeds since seedlings are so sensitive to extreme heat, we'll have to start them and transplant them once they get about 4" tall. Pain in the booty and a lot of extra work for an already over worked mom, but it's worth it. :) maybe this will insure my girls will always love their veggies if they get to be a part of making and growing their own food and get to see the whole process and where everything comes from.
Well, this exausted momma is having a midnight snack and taking the kids to bed so I can go to bed myself.. I've got a busy day of laundry and my 'womanly duties' to attend to tomorrow. lmao.
<3 xoxo night all.
