fire! Fire! FIRE!!

So what's this about a fire? Well it isn't as bad as it sounds. Well it's not ever good when a fire is around unless you're camping. So Dad decided he'd burn some wood and junk from around the backyard in the backyard. He's done it before but I, of course, didn't think it was too smart. We have dried brush in the backyard and he didn't wet it down. Somehow the wind blew a flame and the weeds caught on fire and the wood fence. It warped the neighbors vinyl fence. We'll have to replace it. Only a small portion but not good at all. I'm actually pretty ticked off because I've told him before that it wasn't safe. Anyhow lucky the neighbor girl saw it and told us and another neighbor sprayed it on one side.
Today has been hot and I have done more gardening. Dad fixed the fence and mowed the lawn. Other than that nothin' much happened today. Looking forward to seeing my family at the family reunion. Talk tomorrow.

Two days of nut-in

So I didn't write yesterday, I didn't get online either. The day was pretty normal. Working in the garden, got a sunburn on my shoulders. Couldn't find the sunscreen. After that I didn't do anything. I wasn't feeling too cool just hot. :)
Today, the day went by way too fast. I did however go out to eat with my hubbie. Applebees does have some good food. We had to hurry because sleeping dad's parents had to go somewhere. After we ate we went up to the Draper templesite. It's beautiful but it does remind me of the Mt Timp temple. We went swimming at the parents house. That wasn't too refreshing just cold. I'll be writing more tomorrow.

Long day....still going

I went to training for the elections today. Nothing I didn't already hear about the last training. Then went to Walmart and got an oil change and bought some plants that I, of course, shouldn't have spent money on. I'm addicted to gardening. I even offered to do the neighbors yard if he got the tiller and paid for the grass seed. He works at an equipment rental place. I just want my house to look good and his property is all nasty with weeds. It's pretty run down. I was watching the WE channel and they had a show based in Florida called the ugliest house on the block. The neighbors help clean up and plant, build, paint, etc to make the property nice. That's what this neighbor needs.
Faith enjoyed playing with her friend while I went to training. She went to the free movie at the theater near us. She watched Toy Story. I took a nap and worked on the yard. Weed killing more like. That's about it.
Visiting teachers came too. Can't forget them. :) Talk to you tomorrow.

very tired

So today I've been very tired. I woke up okay but just couldn't stay awake. I wonder at times if I'm just lazy or depressed but I can't say for sure. Since my muscles are so tense and fatigued, I don't think its the former two. I hate it when I'm exhausted feeling. I feel so incompetent, worthless and really boring. I try not to beat myself up for it but sometimes the negative side is too overwhelming.
Tanner stayed home from school, although he really should have gone for at least half the day. I wasn't awake enough to take him or even care. His allergies are terrible this year. He woke up with red, swollen, itchy eyes. I gave him his claritin and it cleared up early afternoon.
Christiana went to school and nothing new happened there. Faith has been floating back and forth between Tanner and me. Of course, I was sleeping so I wasn't much fun for her. She has been doing some learning on the computer.
Anyhow, it's been hot here but nothing compared to my family in vegas or gilbert. Well that's about it. Tomorrow I'll be training for another election position but that's only one day of work. Better than nothing. Love all of you.

Okay, so yesterday I didn't get on the computer. I'm sure you already know why. OUr day went like this, got up 20 minutes before church started. The family got ready fast but we still were 15 minutes late. The girls sang to Scott, more like Christiana and Faith just lead the music, with a dirty look. Then After church, made lunch for Scott and kids, took nap, woke up and made dinner. The 2 oldest did Dad a favor and went to bed without any questions or even a peep.
Tanner came home at 7pm and told us his day was boring. He told me, "I had to go to church and sing a stupid song for my dad but I didn't even know it so I just said blah blah blah" Quote. He doesn't go to church with his dad too often so of course he wouldn't know the song.
The girls made their dad a candy sack and gave him an assortment of other homemade items. We have been too tight with money so we decided for Mother's day and Father's day just to get a card and have a nice dinner. I didn't expect a good dinner for Mother's day, just some peace and quiet. Which for the 1st year I did get.
Scott enjoyed his dinner but it sure didn't beat his usual Crab dinner of course.
Other than that our day wasn't anything more exciting.

So far today, I woke up to get the kids to school and Christiana gave me a quick karate chop massage. It actually helped a lot. She's promised to do it each morning as long as she can get up and have the time. ( Wouldn't that be nice) Read Tanner and Faith a book and took the kids to school. I've water the garden and I'm planning to plant my 2nd harvest today. The heat has helped the plants bloom much quicker. Thank goodness. The cold weather wasn't helping. I have broccoli growing, yippee. The Cabbage are getting big enough that they should be blooming soon too. My rhubarb is getting huge. The blueberries have given Tanner and Faith a sweet taste and one strawberry. Carrots are sprouting along with my swiss chard and beets. The lettuce is doing well too. The pumpkins aren't flourishing like they were but the beans and peas are taking over, I think. The corn isn't doing too well. Potatoes are thriving, along with the tomato plants. The peppers need some heat. I have lots more but nothing growing too well as for those. Mostly because their summer crops. Well I'm gonna go for now. Have a good day. Love all of you.

today wasn't long enough

So Faith enjoyed her first sleep over. She was so cute, she came in at 10:30am and said to me, "So mom did you have a beautiful sleep?" It was so adorable. She wants everyone to know that she slept in her friends bed together and kept bonking heads.
So it's 8pm and it's still Faith and me. I've been too tired to do everything on my list and for once this month it's been hot. A whole 93 degrees. But when yesterday was 79 and the day before was 67, it's quite a difference. Not to mention the rainfall the last few weeks. It even snowed in the mountains and in Beaver and up north in Garden city. I had to cover my crops so they would freeze 4 days ago. Thank goodness I did because it rained like crazy and was freezing cold. Well I went grocery shopping to get Scott's father's day meal. He'll be having steak, shrimp, salad, baked potato, apple pie or rootbeer float. I told his family I didn't want to go to there Father's day party. I'm kind of tired of going out there and rushing to get Tanner at 7 and back home to get the kids ready for school the next morning. Not to mention, its just exhausting.
I've worked a bit on my lawn and garden, vacuumed after the dog's mess, not excluding feces, of course, but I really was meaning his normal ruining of my plants because I wouldn't let him outside. I took a nap and haven't done much more.
The day goes by too quick.
Talk to ya later

Okay, so I've put up old pics and tried to make this page presentable. Now I best find some friends and family to visit it. Hmmmm, that may be a challenge. Don't really have any? Email addresses, duh, to send info about this site. How rude some people can be, gee. I guess I'm just talking to myself, better yet typing to myself so I best get to it.

Oh yeah, I might want to share what's going on in my life right now.
Well I'm home alone. Yes you heard it! Alone! Besides the animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 fish and 1 hamster, I'm absolutely, positively, 100% homefree!
It all started with Tanner visiting his dad for Father's Day, then Scott and his dad going fishing for a Father's day outing. They're camping with friends and gpa Barlow. Then Christiana was invited to a Birthday Slumber party with her cousin, Heather. So Faith and I were really excited to have the home all to ourselves. The phone rang in the morning from her bestfriend, neighbor, Braeda, who asked if Faith could spend the night. It's Faith's 1st real spend the night. I told Faith not to worry about me, I'd be just fine!!!!!! Yippee! It felt more like Mother's day weekend then Father's day. One more time, just for the fun of it. (But with color) YIPPEEEEEEE!! So I was visiting my neighbors blog to see Faith and Braeda having fun and decided I really should get WITH it. I love the color change.

So far, I've had a slice of pizza, watched a movie, feed the animals, picked up a few things and have been sitting here ever since.
In other words, I'm outta here.
Talk to ya'll LATER!

Welcome to the home of Sleepypony! That's what the youngest calls me. Her name is Faith, 5. The 2 other cuties are Oldest, Christiana, 9, and middle child is Tanner, 7. We live in Utah and yes we're morons, I mean mormons. I prefer, LDS. I am a whopping 31, I think, I'll have to ask Christiana. She keeps me straight. Married, yes, second marriage but much better than the first. Apparently! We'll call him Sleepydad!
So I'm new to this Blogging thing and hope to get this going so my family can see my daily, weekly or even monthly news. We'll see how it goes.
