Laundry, Garden, and the "Evils" of Money (via a 4 year old)
ok, so I know I procrastinate about the laundry. Well.. I say I procrastinate but its more like a disdain for the washer and dryer and oh all that folding ug.. .. When life gets busy around here I always let the laundry slide, its a issue I know and I try sooo hard to keep up and not get "over loaded" (hehe) .. (wash out here come the puns,, sorry to bore you with my dryer since of humor :), but I know you will be "under..stained.. ing" .. .. oh I could go on and on.. but I will save you from the rest)... ANYWAY....
Last week I did probably 12 loads of laundry and I had yet to find time to get it folded and put away. .. long story short.. we water the yard a few nights ago and forgot our windows were open in our bedroom,, and yes you guessed it.. water through the window and all over the clean clothes.. so .. back to the laundry room they went.. ugh..
OH.. but the good news is..... (drum roll please).... the carpet was hardly even wet... so ladies,, never fret over piles of clean clothes... someday they will find a way to brighten your day :)
.. So now for the dr update.. my wrist.. well the doc said something wrong with the tendon closest to the bone.. two weeks in a splint (which is driving me crazy most of the time..) .. the blood work tests came back and I am perfectly healthy.. which is good news except I am tired and my hair is falling out.. I guess I am just getting old.. I will work on my sleep schedule.,. but not tonight :)
oh.. now for why you really came to my blog..
Nate, as I was sweeping the floor, he picked up a penny and said.. "oh we dont want to throw that away" ..
I said oh .. "no we dont"..
and then he said " but we could caues money is evil!"
I said "what.. money is evil? why do you say that?" ..
he said "cause God says to love him more than money and if you love money and not him, that is evil."..
OH wow! .. I then explained that was true but money wasnt evil.. the LOVE of money was.. " (not bad for a 4 year old)
All three kids have really enjoyed the water guns we bought at the dollar store a few days ago. Its amazing how much fun those things can be. (my flowers got a good watering too)
on the garden front.. we have 30 tomatoes planted, with marigolds beside them, and hopefully in the morning we can get the green beans in the ground, pumpkins, cantaloupe too... :) I also have sunflowers to plant on the side of the house and Morning glories for the front.. I hope they all grow!
oh.. and the momma robin still has three babies, although she fusses at us when we get close.... so I am hoping when they get a bit bigger I can snap a photo. Last I looked they had doubled in size. AMAZING!
I guess I should get off the computer and get ready for bed, OH I ran today for the first time in a week.. I did pretty well, the 5k is this Sat. I know I wont set any world records but at least I am running.. right! If I finish under 40 min I will be very happy,,, esp since I havent run but twice in the last two weeks. I figure I could just imagine some huge monster chasing me, or some crazy person, or.. hey.. yeah I got it.. a huge pile of clean clothes tumbling after me! thats it.. I will run as fast as I can to keep from having to fold those things! (hehe)

Okay, your puns had me almost peeing in my pants. :) I forgot how punny you can be!
Nate sounds really insightful!

Oh Ruth...
You're so punny....er, I mean, funny...(=. Okay, that was bad. I sympathize (deeply) with your procrastination issues. In fact, I'm in the midst of my own procrastination right now...my last ever grad school paper is due Thursday...I'm chained to my desk right now, because I'm supposed to be writing it. But, I've been sitting here for 3 hours and have yet to get started. I think my new rule is that I'm "allowed" to procrastinate one hour for every 10 pages I'm supposed to write. Which means that I'm already over my limit, I guess, since this is a thirty pager. With that said, I guess it's time to just make myself go do it!!! After Thursday, all I have left is a final (Monday) and getting the girls to move out! and then I'm DONE, done, Done!!! Woo hoo!!!!
