It's Not All Morning Sickness

Granted I have been pretty sick, even right before these pictures this morning. If you have ever suffered such a thing, you like me may wonder why we don't come out of pregnancy with tight abs. I feel like I look full term, of course I had extra weight to start. The extra weight was no big deal until now. I will be grateful when the so called "morning sickness" passes. For me it has been more like, "sick all day long".

My kids are such characters. Just looks at those faces, don't you want to hug the heck out of them? I know I do most days. Some days....well, some days I need a time out. Watching them become their own person is mostly a joy. Then there are moments when I think "Where did that child spawn from?" Then I realize, with great dismay/excitement they are my children. The oldest keeps talking about 4Chan. He can go on four h..o..u..r..s.... He says "I'm not an internet troll, I am a LOLZ Cat. I am eats your cake." My child!

I have been able to use a few things from the lil homestead for cooking. So far it has been rosemary and eggs. Look at those yokes. Dinner was scrummy tonight. I am looking forward to some amazing tomatoes and such to come in. We still have beds to build and hopefully this will be the year our garden goes year round. After a few years of research I am pretty sure I know what to plant in our zone.

Here are some pictures from some after dinner shenanigans. Kids love playing in the mud. It was fun to watch. What kid does not like some messy play? I fed the hens their dinner and watered the garden. I have started drying out flowers from the yard for what I hope become Christmas gifts. I would love them all to be homemade this year. We shall see since the baby is due a couple weeks beforehand.

Right now I am happy living life as best as I can.

This and That

As you can see we've been kind of busy in the garden. It's a magical mess of something growing where they were not planted. Maybe fast erosion from watering. Who knows? Either way just being out in the dirt and greens makes us all pretty dang happy.

Saturday we went to Autism Rocks! It was basically another awesome day for celebrating Autism and getting info out to people who may not understand it. The kids had a blast playing games and listening to music. There was an Elvis impersonator and some puppet who sang.

There hasbeen a lot I want to blog about, just no real motivation...err energy. Yeserday, I spent a good amount of times making readers for Maggie and Waylon that they had requested. I have utilized the crockpot A LOT as of late. Call me lazy but, dinner gets done.

Mothers Day was spent not feeling hot. I got flowers, dinner and homemade cards. Dexter bought me a blouse from a yard sale, hello awesome! In the evening Dexter and I went to the Goodwill, I found a couple dresses and Dexter got some VHS tapes. He is so retro. I will post a blog later about other things. Until then, stay groovy!

Love,
