KIDS!!!!
THIS THIS IS A NEW CHAIR AND PLANT OUT FRONT. I HAD A LAVENDAR ONE BUT PUT IT IN THE BACKGARDEN. THE CHAIR ( I BOIGHT 2) HAVE CANE BOTTTOMS WHICH I CUT OUT AND ARE IN TOP SHAPE. I GOT THEM FOR $10/EACH. SO, I COULD NOT LEAVE THEM THERE FFOR THAT PRICE. I CAN'T RESIST A BARGAIN. THE PLANT HAS A LOVELY MOSS PLANTER AND I GOT IT FOR A STEAL!!
HAVE NOT BEEN GREAT FOR A WEEK NOW. ALL THE CRAP WITH MY DAUGHTER!!! WHEN HER LIVE SUCKS MINE SUCKS TWICE AS BAD. I AM ALMOST AT THE POINT OF TELLING HER NOT TO CALL. I KNOW THAT MAY SEEM MEAN AND VERY UNMOTHERLY BUT IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT MY SANITY. ONCE I RECOVER SOME THEN I WILL CALL HER. SHE USUALLY GETS REALLY PISSED AT ME WHEN I DO THIS BUT IT OUT OF NECESSSITY. OH, WHEN DO THEY EVER GROW UP!! ANYWAY, I AM STUMBLING ALONG RIGHT NOW. I HAVE DONE NOTHING IN MY GARDENS FOR FOUR DAYS. THIS DEPRESSES ME BECAUSE I AM NOT A PROCRASTINATOR AND I LIKE THINGS DONE PROMPTLY. HOWEVER, I JUST DON'T HAVE IT IN ME TO DO THE HEAVY WORK RIGHT NOW. I TRY NOT TO LOOK AT THE HUGE PILE OF MUD THAT NEEDS TO BE MOVED,
WELL, HUBBY IS HOME EARLY AS IT IS RAINING WHERE HE WORKS AND THEY CANNOT WORK THE BERRY FIELDS IN A DOWNPOUR. I THINK I'LL SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM AS I HAVE BARELY SEEN HIM SINCE THE END OF JULY.
BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS TO ALL. DEBBIE

Oh honey I do know what you mean. Even with taking care of Neal I manage to be in a pretty wonderful mood most of the time but a few minutes on the phone wiht Winter and I\'m angry and upset because of all the stuff going on in her life. THEN she get\'s mad at me for reacting. I\"m like WTF, why on earth do you think you can unload on me, YOUR mother, and think I\'m just goiing to be like some kind of emotionless sponge and not have a reaction?
I\'ve gotten to the point where I don\'t call or visit her nearly as often, used to be I cuoldn\'t wait to see her or talk to her but this last year or so it\'s just been killing me and I\'ve tried to be as blunt in explaining this to her as I can. For some reason her and everyone she knows is supposed to be allowed to \'BE THEMSELVES\" but because I\'m her mother there are a whole different set of rules, NOT.
O.K., now that I\'ve done my little rant, wanted to tell you I love what you do with those chairs and flowers. Every time I pass chairs at a garage sale or in the patio department in the stores I think of you and wonder what you\'d be doing to them if you could get ahold of them ;-).
It\'s clouding back up but not raining yet so I\'m hoping to get some yard work done today once it warms up a bit more. Hugs
Your flowers are beautiful!! KIds..... grow up...in the same sentence.... didn\'t know that happened!!!! LOL
Take care
Funny how those of us who suffer mood swings manage to get garden and done and then be mad at ourselves if we can\'t do it all the time. Take a break and don\'t feel guilty. I do. I love the chair idea. I was thinking of you today. A little bird jumped on my hand when I was filling the bird feeders and would not get off. I am sure she is injured, and has one closed eye. Anyway I was thinking I needed your bird cage. LOL I did find one and she went right in. I am going to post a picture of her. Right now she is in the bathroom. I realize she may die but she would die outside for sure. We have 2 cats that prowl around and she would be as easy target she can only fly about 20 feet. Now feel better and get out in the mud. Soon we will be wishing for unfrozen dirt and flowers, sorry had to mention that. Hugs Naomi xo
You can only do what you can do Debbie. The gardening will keep. Have you sat Danielle down and had a heart to heart with her to tell you how hard all this drama is on you? I know you want to have an idea of what\'\'s going on in her life but too much is not good. take care xo
Your Home & Garden are BEAUTIFUL. . .
I also Have 3 Children, YES they Can Break Our Hearts...
But TUFF Love is Great !!!......I THINK !
