randomness

I'm up in the middle of the night with a very upset tummy. I'm not sure that I would have still been asleep, but I'm blaming the fact that I am wide awake on the stupid phone call that hubby got from work at 2:30 this morning. I haven't been able to get back to sleep since then, so yes... I am going to say it is all the phone call's fault. And just because I can, I'm also blaming the phone call for my upset stomach.

I took a sick day yesterday. I've been fighting a cold, and it has moved into my chest. I spent Sunday night/Monday morning coughing and not sleeping, so I indulged myself a bit and stayed home. Can't do that again today. :(

Our AC is not working. YUCK!!! This weekend is the first time that we have turned it on, and instead of the house getting cooler, it is just getting hotter and hotter. A service call has been placed. Hoping for some good news today.

On a cheery note... my garden is doing well! It's so fun to look out my bedroom window and see lots of green things growing! I planted beans a week ago... from seed. On Saturday I had one little bitty sprout sticking up out of the soil. Yesterday I had 4 big shoots - all about 2 1/2 inches tall. SO FUN!

I love flowers. I love planting flowers. I love adding much needed color to the front of my house. Megan is working on a flower bed project for me. I want to add some flowers around the mailbox, and she is mapping it out for me. I'm glad she loves flowers, too.

My bench is mostly finished... it's all painted and waiting on me to get a coat of sealer on it. I moved it into the house while it waits, so I can see it's prettiness! Now on the nightstands, and maybe I'll actually get my headboard and footboard home one of these days. Since the warm weather hit, Dad has been busy with things on the farm, and my HB and FB have not quite got finished.

My daughter has 9 more days of high school left. She will be a full time college student in a month. She was offered money to go to school this summer, so how could she refuse? Well, she could have easily, but her father and I would not let her. She will be going to Calhoun for a while, and then would really like to transfer to BYU-I. I'm still not ready for her to move that far away, but I understand her feelings of wanting to get out of the house. She is ready to spread her wings. I'm not so much ready for it!

Josh has been asked to play on an AYSO select team this month. His uncles are coaching... should be fun!

May is going to be a very busy month. It will make the month go faster, which is a good and bad thing. Good because once the month is over, I am off of work for 2 months. Bad because... see above. I'm still having issues with my daughter's determination to grow up!

Did anyone see this post on my SIL's blog? Kayti and I LOVE P &P, so I just had to check out N & S... LOVED it! Kayti still has not watched it. She is snowed under with homework and studying for her upcoming AP exam. I'm sure she will love it as much as I did when she finally gets to watch it.

Well, since it is almost time for me to get up, I think I'll go lay back down and rest for a while!

Hi Kim, bummer you weren't feeling well. I hope you are better. I love seeing the beginnings of your garden, you will have to post more pics as it all grows. I also want to see a picture of your bench. You sound busy with projects, I'm impressed!

Oh Kim I hope you get well soon. You can't be sick when we finally have great weather. I remember feeling sad for Kimberly to move to BYU-I but by the 2nd year we were both ready for her to leave. LOL! Love Ya!

Did you hear about Kayti's testimony in YW? It was beautiful and pure Kayti and had the most CLASSIC comment ever! I'm using it with my girls in a lesson...it cracked me up with its perfectness.

Hope you are feeling better!!

Can I use my "connections" to get a sneak peek into what LMS is like...on the inside?? I can't imagine having a child graduating!! I'm constantly nauseous over mine just leaving elementary school. :(

I can't believe Kayti is going to be in college soon! Crazy! I know it must be hard for you, but she will have so much fun! So glad we all live so close together so we can see all of the nieces and nephews growing up and becoming their own little people :-)
