    Today, the flowers. 18 years ago, kids in bed! Perspective is everything. I've not bought the first plant this year and am itching to get out there and dig in the dirt!

    We have early bird kids, too. Love that.

    Mine fell asleep early last night, too ... but it was because they weren't feeling well. Poor kiddos! =(

    Enjoy those flowers! I have a few that need to go into the ground today, too!

    Oh I hate hands in the dirt. Sigh. And I go to bed before my kids!

    Oooooo....7:12...definitely better than gardening! (Although the plants do look lovely).
    I can only dream...

    25 years ago, kid. Today, flowers or some such gratifying task.

    I kind of go for the gardening thing. I love getting my hands in the dirt and planting. It is very peaceful for me. However, I no longer have the kids around and I'd say 25 yrs ago, I'd have put the kids to bed, THEN done some planting for additional peace!

    Well that brings back memories! When the kids were little it would depend on how the day went. Sometimes the best part of the day was bed time!

    I vote for kids in bed! But I do love it when flowers are planted.

    You and your greenthumb! It must be our genes, I planted plants too. :3 And why can't both options make yesterday splendid? :P

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...

We Did It!

We raised $5597 at FirstGiving.com We raised $25 on Facebook with Paypal Ryan and Deb raised $1000 for a new website . And? That puts us over the top! Even when we factor in any fees that Paypal, Firstgiving, or Ryan incur due to credit card use fees, we are over. So. What does that mean? We are on our way! At Midwest Assistance Dogs, they are excited about training a dog for Chickadee. It's a unique situation that has never been done before, so I appreciate all of you being supportive and open minded about it. We are still discovering the ways that Chickadee can be benefited by her Service Dog. So, I'm working with the director. He is reviewing our life, and bouncing ideas off me as to what will work. What does that mean? I don't have a specific doggie, or date yet. It depends on what is realistic for the dog to learn, and for Chickadee/I to be able to help it execute. Basically it's gonna take time, research and experimentation. Usually? i...
