Garden update

Our tomatoes are sprouting & our strawberry plants are perking up! :D Still no carrots though... I think we may need to try some new carrot seeds or something else.

Strawberry plants lookin' better than they did.

Friday the 13th

Doesn't really have any significance for me. I took it easy today after a string of lots of babysitting & work over the last few days. I did spend some of naptime picking up & I carried around my 5lb hand weights as I did so for a little extra exercise. Work again tonight & in the morning. Bowling tomorrow for my hubby's B-day, which is Monday. He's taking that day off work to relax & our friends that I babysit for will take Amber that evening so we can have a nice dinner together. :D

Today is Tuesday

I've been trying to keep my goals small each day so I actually accomplish things & I've been a little discouraged by how much I've put off even those small goals, but I'm feeling better today with the progress I've made so far!
Took all my meds
Took the cats to the vet for immunizations
Ate our leftovers for lunch & laid Amber down to nap
Put away the random stuff from that laundry basket that I've been putting off for weeks
Called & made appointments w/my counselor
Arranged for my mom to babysit during those appointments:D

That's where we are now... Probably have at least 30-45mins left of nap time & then about an hour to my chiro/PT appt. Trying to decide if I want to try & do more productive stuff or do a little crafty stuff. I'm thinking I'll sort photos for scrapbooking.
When we go out, either before or after my appt., I also need to stop by the eye dr's & pick up my new glasses & I'm thinking I'll go to the consignment shop & see if I can find her some more warm weather PJs, shoes & whatever. :)

Of course, I'm way behind on these & dunno if I'm going to worry much about it... but here it is.

Dang... my 100th post isn't even my own thing... bummer.

Monday Monday

Hope you had a happy Easter! Ours was met with rather mixed feelings. Now, I'm feeling quite overwhelmed.

Amber did pretty good at gymnastics today. She's finishing up her lunch now. Once she goes down for her nap I need to go plant my strawberry plants my best friend gave me & call my mom. Also need to work on laundry & getting caught up with other housework... doubt I'll work on any challenge pieces today. Wish me luck!
