mimi says: cautious, gasoline, flat panties

as i was drying mimi's hair the other day in my bathroom (b/c there's not enough room for ozzy's exersaucer in her bathroom), she accidentally knocked over a container of my mineral makeup and the jar went flying and power dumped out all over the floor.

oh, mimi! i moan, rolling my eyes. shaking my head, i keep on drying her hair. when i'm done i tell her to go get dressed while i sweep the makeup off the floor (i dumped most of it back into the jar...i figure it's all some kind of dirt, anyway). she comes back and w/this sick look on her face she says, "mom, i feel terrible!" thinking she was ill i asked her what's wrong. she say, "i feel just terrible for spilling your makeup all over the floor. i should have been more cautious!"
---------------------------------------
while playing on the floor with ozzy, he began merrily tooting away, necessitating a diaper change. mimi asked what i was doing and i said ozzy pooped i have to change his diaper. 'what else do babies do?' she asks. 'they poop, they pee, they eat, and they sleep,' i answer. 'and one more thing!' sings mimi, 'GASOLINE!...they pass gasoline!'
---------------------------------------
mimi kept begging to hold ozzy, so i told her to sit down and i'd bring him to her so she could hold him. she climbs up on the couch and as i start to hand him over, she yells, 'wait! i'm uncomfortable! i have to flatten my panties.' then she proceeds to yank at her bottom to remove a slight wedgie.

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Growing Things

 it's crazy how long it's been since the last time i blogged here.  i spend so much time on insta and facebook, this blog has been largely ignored.  i'm on my second year of gardening and have been trying to maintaining a physical gardening log and failed at several attempts.  So i think this may be my best bet.  So here's the first gardening entry! Today is March 29th, 2022. Temps today were unseasonably cold and have been for the past three days.  Todays high temp was 47F and the low tonight will be 22F.  But should warm to the low 70s tomorrow.    This crazy cold and heavy winds yesterday blew down several daffodils.  many are leaning but upright enough that i left them and only pruned the ones that were knocked to the ground.
