One minute I'm in a winter wonderland surrounded by so many feet of snow and fresh powder and the next minute I'm surrounded by green rolling hills and blooming wildflowers. Our days have been very full and I've been taking it one day at a time, not sure how else to do it. It's working for the most part.
I have been enjoying reading people's blog and facebook posts more than doing any posting on my end. In the past few weeks, I've skiied and spent a weekend away with hubby, rode enough miles in the Party Pardee ride with our bike team to feel exhausted/great at the end of the day, played softball games, and mountain biked with girls from the team. Good times, except bike on roof rack + overfilled brain = crunched roof rack and some scratches. Crap. Work got a little stressful this past week and my head was in the clouds no matter how much hubby reminded me NOT to drive in the garage that night. I needed a stop sign or some kind of blockade in the garage to stop me.
Maggie is two, but she says she is "sixyearsold" as one long word (inspired by a little girl at the park last weekend who said she's 6). She's still a shrimp but growing taller and I'm happy to be phasing out some winter clothes in preparation for summer. She is lucky to have a TON of hand-me-downs, I mostly go shopping in Maggie's closet. She's really chatty and some of the funny phrases she's been saying are "oh man" and "yeah, sure". When I came home from mountain biking and had dirt on my legs, she says "momma dirty" and then looks up at me with a concerned face and says "fall?". I love this little girl, she makes me laugh a lot. When we drive through a tunnel near our house, she asks us to honk and then laughs. Everything is "me do it" and then "help momma" if she can't figure it out. We got lettuce and some other spring vegetables in the garden, we'll see if this spring weather lasts long enough for them to produce. Excited for tomato season to be here soon!
Uh we do have a stop sign in the garage. It's on the wall as you drive in.
ReplyDeleteI know but it's at the back of the garage, not in the right place to atually make me stop before I enter the garage (silly boy :-).
ReplyDeletei like that tat! sometimes i laugh imagining surprising mark with something like that. i can't remember but did you go with me to american grafitti? if not, then i was there alone. love hearing about all your spring veggies. wish i had your green thumb and motivation to bike ride. we visited an awesome aquaponics set up today- will blog about it sometime next year at the rate i'm going. luvs!
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of your sweet pea and totally dig the tattoo! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteHey Marin! After three solid days of refusing breast milk I said, "fine your choice" and he's been off since and doing really well.
ReplyDeleteI should have thought to ask you! I'm starting seeds inside and my peppers just will not germinate. What gives? Start over with new seeds or bag it and plant seedlings? BTW I am a complete and total gardening idiot.
Pat, nope I didn't go with you. With the past few weeks I've been having at work, I'm suprised I didn't go get a tattoo :-)
ReplyDeleteYanette, that is great about the little one, can you believe that you are done pumping? About veggi garden, I always use seedlings. I have no patience for seeds. I'm not a gardening expert, I just succeed with the easy ones.
What a beautiful pic of sweet Maggie! Love the tat, too, and you know I'm not opposed to the idea of getting them ;) Sorry about the bike dust-up. Isn't it cute the things they say? If you ask his name, Jakey says "JakobBauer" all strung together haha.
