Last Friday I thought things were going to go so much better. I was going to have so much done and get on track. Life said no you’re not! I did manage to get a few things done but I feel like there is more left undone on my list. Although I do feel as though I put way more on my list to get done in a day then I really need to. Like I somehow set myself up to fail.
Ma is doing a little better but she still can’t use her arm. I have to dress her, bathe her, cut up her food, basically everything you do for children. She did pop a stitch this week which meant we had to go back and get it looked at. They thought it would be alright/ We shall see. Next week she gets all the stitches out and then we will go from there.
This made me smile this week.
I love this greenhouse. I would love to have one although I did see one that had some raised beds inside of it. If I ever build my dream home I am certainly having one of these little buildings.
Center>Just a girl and her bread! I feel the same and if I could do this and it look this cute rather than the fat chick who is stuffing her face I would do it.
She makes these custom wreaths and this one calls to my soul. I’m not sure what she charges but I feel like I need one of these in my life.

It’s been stressful and tiring, but the Frozen Four tournament has been fun to watch.
My week was super busy we had some really good weather so I was doing a ton of yard work. Then yesterday I did a ton of house cleaning now I am ready for a relaxing weekend.
I almost always have a “to do” list that I never manage to complete. Good point that maybe I’m setting myself up to fail.
Sad week – an old friend passed away unexpectedly and a dear friend lost his mom.
Its been another tough week with bad news coming to me… I am hoping next week is kinder!~
My son got his driver’s license and bought a car this week. I hope he is able to handle the responsibility of car ownership.
I had a good week. Went to a birthday party for my niec
Work was crazy, but my tomato plants are starting to fruit! First time trying to successfully grow tomatoes in the desert so I’m pretty excited.
Great. I worked in my garden and visited my daughter.
My week was pretty normal week.
I have been busy doing spring cleaning.
Not much going on, except my washing machine died.
I LOVE that greenhouse. I have about 50 plants., that I have to drag inside in the winter. If I had this darling, adorable greenhouse, they’d get tons of sun and I’d put a small heater in there. Kind of reminds me of the one in the movie, “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle”.
My week was good we had a baseball game we lost but we had fun & we played outside for a while. Nothing else really happened. Hope your doing well.
