This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

Of groceries. Tomorrow morning, we are going to be working on the back yard working on a flower garden. I really didn't want to go into deep detail in the yard. But I am tired of the extra work of weed eating. So the best way to fix that is, build a new flower bed, with our pond. And putting down fabric for weeds. And planting my flowers, then adding the mulch. I think I am about to go lay down and watch a movie with the family.

In two weeks I am having a birthday party for my Son. He is going to be 11 years old. But I would like to get the back yard in shape. We have to dig out the table for the back yard. Or we may have it inside because it will probably be warm outside. We need to purchase another air conditioner because this little house is just like a oven...Heats up quickly.

One of my best friends got married. She has remained single thru out her twenties and only when she realized she wasn't getting any younger. She decided to marry. I remember her talking about never getting married because she could never find the right guy. Well the Wedding was beautiful, it was a Celtic Wedding and the Celtic jewelry that was worn was just beautiful. If I remember right, they exchanged Celtic rings. Which surprised me because she was raised Catholic, very deep Catholic. Schools, Church and all the things that comes with being in the Catholic religion. I only know its alot because that is where I met her. At a Private school. Which by the way. Pretty much straightened me out somewhat. Well I think I need to send her a anniversary card some time soon.

We got hit with some pretty intense storms this morning. Sad thing...I was out in it with my co-workers. We got a truck in awfully early, and had no choice to unload it. The rain doesn't hurt the product as it it just helps water the plants. So my pants, and shirt were soaked...yet again. I changed when I finally made it home. I hate sticky wet jeans and it being humid didn't help any. I was pretty anoyed earlier as my Son left his homework at school, so we had to run back to school. He had three problems left. Well...we get there and his room is already locked so we had to search for the damn janitor. Of course he wants to get done and go home too. So we get it, and finally make it home. I thank goodness we did. I got my paycheck a day early, so that helped me out big time. I have one bill I have to go and pay. Then a few more I can pay in person. Well...I am resting as my right hip is really aggravating me lately. Not sure what is wrong but it hurts to walk. I will update later.

And I am not happy about it, because its during the morning school rush. It scares me to no end, and I hate dealing with the rain. We dealt with it last week, on Friday. I was so cold, I came home and shivered all day. So now I am sitting here at 11:50pm, watching Storm Chasers...lol. Night!!!!

Its been so chaotic at work. The responsibility of having to make sure we have enough product for the weekends. A couple weekends ago we basically emptied our greenhouse. The store manager made a comment it was unacceptable. I totally agreed with him. What I am afraid of, is ordering too much stuff and being stuck with product. Which has happened already. We had pansies from the first day I started that just now got thrown away. This is all new to me. I am used to just putting the product out when it arrives. The stuff is already preordered, from previous years. Makes no sense to me though. Because this year, I am able to sit there and listen to the customer and try to fulfull their requests onto what stuff they are interested in. So when I overheard a customer say how much they liked this plant that was in the center piece of a planter pot. I looked on the order sheet and seen they had it. I ordered it. And guess what? It sold immediately. Granted the planter pots didn't sell as well. They are selling now because I keep them clean, trimmed and deadheaded. The flowers are blooming like crazy. I simply love what I do. I enjoy what I do. I am lucky. But it only lasts for another month. Which is fine. I can deal with that.

So much has happened over the weekend its not even funny. I am sure you have heard about that tornado that hit in Parkersburg,IA over the weekend. And it was confirmed to be a F5 tornado. It would not of been so bad if my Son had not been camping up in that area. Camping as in, camping in a camper with no safety shelter available. It concerned me because I didn't hear from my Son's Father at all. I had to call and make sure they were safe. Well I must of worried him because they left within an hour of my call. My Son said the DNR announced that a tornado was within a mile of them. They lost power...and that was it. My Son was outside playing when this was going on. OK...now you see why I am worried. My Son also said when they got back on the road they got hit with some really bad rains. Another worry was my Boyfriend's Parents live within a mile of where my Son was camping. So we called his Parents they said it was ok there but scary. Well....life is weird and with the way the weather is going...I am scared. Really scared.

Trying to relax and the dear boyfriend and I are having little spats. Here and there. Well the latest is how he has to have my help in searching for items...for instance...the ketchup...look behind the milk already. Or finding a brick....gezz we have a whole stack in the back yard. I don't get it. Its not like he's 3 years old anymore. Well today, we went and bought a air conditioner. After last night it was terrible. Not enough air flow thru this house. So we were arguing on installing the dam thing. Ummm HELLO. Its not that hard. I am just irritated with his attitude. But you know it wouldn't be a relationship without it. I gotta have someone to argue with.

Well today has been slow, thank goodness. I went to work for about 3 hours. Went to the bank, came home...decided I was bored so we went and got E85 gas, which is 2.89 a gallon, still high. Went to the store, bought a flower and came home to watch the race. I am so, soooo excited about having tomorrow off. Its been a long time since I had a day off without worries. I am going to relax...I don't care. NOT doing a darn thing.

Its been a rainy morning here and the rain coat I was wearing at work had a broken button. Well, I ended up soaked from the waist up. So I decided to come home and change. Well, my pants were soaked as well. I threw it all in the dryer to dry. So while I am waiting I ate real quick but I am freezing my a$$ off. Literally freezing. I am wrapped up in a comforter and the knitted blanket my Mom made for me. Half tempted to turn the heat on for a little bit. Don't know if I am going to make it back to work. My nose won't stop running, I will probably end up with a cold now. Oh and I have to take my Son to his Father's tonight well this afternoon. They are leaving to go camping up in Waterloo just as soon as I get there. I hate being pressed for time....I really do.
