Hello, My last post was a little random so I'm going to stick to one subject today. one of my favorite hobbies is gardening. However my last two flower beds became over grown. I would very much like to do my gardening my way and my husband the vegetable farmer likes to tell me how to do it. The house plants get along very well. Unless the cat gets in them. The vegetable garden is the hubbies project. He wants me to keep it weeded but i never seem to do it right so i stay out of it, which makes him angry.  Digging in the earth and planting things is enjoyable to both of us. Since we've moved to the new house Ive been potting in the laundry room. I cant wait to get outside. Hard to do in January in Pennsylvania. So far we've planned rose bushes, a snowball bush, and some others. Hopefully i still get to plant my morning glories and tulips. It will be very nice to sit in the gazebo and watch butterflies and humming birds. How relaxing would that be?

Your Home All Day

I became a stay at home mom when my special needs son was 15. My husband, then boyfriend, said if i needed help with bills and such he would help me. So against my fears I did it. And for the most part it turned out to be a good decision. Fear is a big factor in everything i do. Fear of the unknown, Fear of what happened in the past, lots and lots of fear. My big girl panties are so far up i gave myself a wedgie. Now that i'm home all day(my husbands words),it seems i do not keep myself busy. I just sit on the couch watching soaps and eating bon bon's. Whatever they are. Nope if i go somewhere and someone sits with my grandmother and runs the sweeper or does the dishes that's the only time it gets done. My husband does the cooking for 5 people all the time because he chooses to do it once or twice a week when hes off. I have all the time in the world because "i'm home all day". I do take care of my grandmother who has macular degeneration and age related dementia. I do take care of an 18 year old boy with down syndrome. I do go gray with a 10 year old that thinks hes 16 when it comes to girls. There's also everyone's bank accounts, the boys each have their own accounts to that i manage. Everyone has medications that i alone manage and doctors appointments. So did i let the supper dishes go til tomorrow? yes. Does that mean i do not do anything? Hell No! Again fear. I do not want to be alone,,,again. My husband is very good to me even if he is blind to the goings on of a working home. A working home is a more accurate description of a house wife. We know all the things that go with a working farm, a successful business excetera. A working home is no less busy. In conclusion do not nit pic the wife of a working home. She knows how to put a monkey wrench in the cog wheels too. Fear the multi-tasker. imagine the fear that the outside worker will get sick and life will change. The fear that's put aside to take the kids by themselves to an event. The Lord said "fear not for i am with you" , go with her to church because that is where fear is put aside and she can be herself.

all things come in three's

Hi there! Here in central pa we have a saying that all things come in threes. Just like last week.I told you about two of them in my last post. On Friday night my son told me his ear hurt. on Saturday i took him two be seen and sure enough the one he pointed to was infected and the other one was just starting. This is just one week. Last summer I had them all in 24 hours. We go to the Deleware beach every year. This year my gram went along, mostly because she cant stay alone anymore and we didn't have anyone to stay with her. Well the truck and the car are all packed. Two kids, two dogs, and three adults. We agree that he leads with the truck and if i have any trouble i'll call on my cell. We drive about an hour and i hear MOOOOOOM from the back seat. I had one dog,one child, and grem. I smell as hes yelling and pull over. I call my husband and tell him to wait somewhere the dog just dumped on the child (one). It took me a while to clean that up and strip the child who now had to ride in his underwear because the clothes were in the truck. The caravan stopped for lunch at Morgantown, and clothes from the goodwill. The husband potties the dogs while i get the food potty the kids and one adult. Back at the car hubby is complaining that i didn't order the right stuff for the dogs and he wants back on the road. I organize everyone back in the vehicles with their food and we pull out. The next four hours go well and the rental is found. In the driveway the dogs are left out and very hyper, so are the kids. I open trunk to get grems walker out aannd its..not..there(two). The walker was left by the car at Morgantown. I know because i called and they had found it and locked it up til we come back through. So three you ask? what can get worse than that? Ha hold on to your seats. The cars unloaded. suppers ate and cleaned up. Everyone goes to bed. Everything seems fine, I wake up and go downstairs. Make some coffee and check on grem. One look and i knew the day was screwed. She was black and blue from forehead to chin. Grem is on plavics and 97 years old. I went up and told my husband the problem and grem and I spend the day in the Bebe hospital emergency.(three). Now I should say to top this all off she told eveyone at the hospital that my son with down syndrome pushed her. The kicker is when she thought it was taking to long and told orderly to get her a good strong whisky! Until next time enjoy this Adulting Curve Ball.

Hi I am Kimber Lee, I never thought I would be writing a blog but here i am! everything you will read is true. I may change names but the circumstances will remain. I hope to entertain you. I have three boys 10, 18, and 28,all born in July. All due on a Friday. My girl was due on a Friday also for each one the date was the 15th. My 18 year old boy was born with down syndrome. And so the current household is two boys, one husband, three cats, three dogs and my grandmother. We just bought a new house. Everyone is still getting adjusted. Things are going pretty good house wise. Life wise on the other hand? There's the curve ball! This week was new years eve. That morning my grandmother woke up with dizziness and upset stomach. I break out the blood pressure cuff and can't get a good read. I called my brother and told him I was calling the ambulance. By this time my gram was furious. She doesn't need to go to the hospital. Shes fine, it will pass.And so we went to the hospital. It turns out nothing was wrong, at least with her heart.New years day went fine. That night we heard a crash and went running into grams room. The tp part of the head board had come tumbling down on top of her. Did she get checked out? No shes been hit on the head before and nothing happened.O K gram I'll just stay up all night. I swing at all the curve balls. Sometimes I miss and sometimes i hit a homer.
