Mimi March 28, 2006

here's attempt number 39 at getting my thoughts down about mimi, life as a mommy, etc in a central area.   hope this works! 



it is nearing the end of march and mimi is approaching her 25th month of life.   she is getting so vocal now.  she likes to command me to do things.  she likes to tell me to lay down with her when she is tired.  she tells me to wake up when it is morning and she wants breakfast (as she grabs my face with her two little pudgy hands and tries to lift my head up with her freakishly strong fingers).  when she sits somewhere interesting she demands that i sit next to her ('sit down, mommy!' she'll say as she pats a space next to her).  at swim class today, she wanted to splash the water and wanted me to join her, so she grabs my hands and says ' plasha mama'.  and so on.  it's cute.  i cant tell her no...at least not often.



CHEERS!       mimi's bartending auntie taught her how to clink glasses, salute with a loud cheers! and then drink.  now mimi has extended that to EVERY area of her life.  if it is an event that is shared with another, Cheers! must be extended.  When we brush our teeth together...CHEERS! and tap the brush heads together.  When we eat ice cream on cones:  CHEERS! and tap the cones together.  When we have soup:  CHEERS! and smack the spoons into the other.  when we eat french fries:  CHEERS! and touch one fry tip to the other.

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.
