how old are you?

while at toys r us today (which ozzy didnt want to go to at first, he said he wanted to stay home and watch Chuggington, so i told him they have Chuggington trains at the store, let's go get one!) we were looking over the Chuggington train assortment and i asked ozzy which one he wanted and he says, I waaaaaaannnnnnnt......Action Chugger!  it's an orange one and he's fast and he's strong!

k....action chugger, action chugger...here you go, here's action chugger!  i say as i hand him a small die cast train labeled "Action Chugger" for $7.

no, not that one.  says ozzy. 

but it says it's Action Chugger.  THIS IS ACTION CHUGGER,  i say.

no, not that one.  says ozzy.  i want THAT Action Chugger.  and he points to another one that is twice the size of the one i picked up and costs $15. 

well, ozzy, i think this ($7) one is better because it will fit on your take along thomas tracks (and it's cheaper, i think to myself, so if he wants all of Action Chugger's friends it wont be several hundreds of dollars to collect them).

mom, he says, this one will fit.  it will fit on my blue tracks.  the blue tracks are much bigger.  dont worry, mom. 

i look at him, and i think, how old are you?  you're two.  are you supposed to be arguing with me AND making sense at the same time?  arent you supposed to just lay down on the floor and tantrum?  youre TWO.  sheesh.  i had a strange feeling like i was in for it...just give him a couple more years.  i think i better start taking an online course in Law to get ready!

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.
