I am so excited and I just can't hide it! I am about to have some vegetables and I like it!!!We were late on starting the lettuce, carrots, and such. But my penchant for growing greens has been satisfied by the emergence and expanse of my tomato plants. They are just beautiful. The Rutgers are the tallest, followed by Arkansas Travelers, and bring up the rear are the Sweet 100 and Sweet Millions. Talking Tomatoes is what I do every morning and evening. I think "wheezie" the blue headed dinosaur from Dragon Tales says it best when she yells "LOVE IT!"
Life beyond the garden is hectic, perhaps that is why I retreat there. Homeschooling requires hard work and determination as well as cooperation. Honestly, the first two I do not struggle with but getting every one's cooperation, well that is just down right difficult. Often I feel like the "do this" war lord and "you will learn" drill sergeant. Often but not everyday so I won't complain too much:)
My other job? It has shifted into it's slot. It took some juggling on my part but alas I have made a place for it and it fits just fine. I have had to let my mom in law come clean. Yes, let. It isn't easy to allow someone to clean for you. Seriously it isn't. Watching someone clean your house strains my mind and emotions. It feels weird even as I teach and work. I have the haunting feeling that if I just worked harder or carved a better routine I could truly become the woman-who-does-it-all. This is a lie from the devil, it is overtly obvious that I am no such thing but to my comfort no such person as that exists. So I resign to do what I do well and leave the rest to the beloved mother of my husband who does what she does very well. For her, I am thankful. For her work, Victor is thankful:))))
