altarflameThis is what I've cooked/prepared/offered today:
-Made everyone fried eggs on toast with smart balance and (sea) salt for breakfast
-we took "organic lemon wafers" with us up to the therapist, Grant and the kids ate them at a nearby park with nature trails while I was in my (2 hour) session
-apple slices with cheddar and baby carrots with peanut butter, for lunch
-Right now I've got a big old pot of bean soup on the stove, am baking a pound cake, and have a pitcher of sweet iced tea chilling in the fridge (dinner and dessert)
How about you?
G called!! She DID end up in the hospital, she's got a ruptured ear drum, and she was mortified that her partner hadn't called us because she had told her she would. I am not GLAD that she had to go to the ER, but I am really, really happy that there was an extenuating circumstance and she wasn't just blowing us off or whatever. We had decided to give it another week before we decide whether or not there is "a problem", but the lack of phone contact had me feeling like it was just over, so...back to the give it a week, now.
Therapy was really intense and rewarding today. It's strange to have something too personal to write about in my lj, for me at least, but this stuff is. Suffice to say...I feel so lucky to have my husband, and so glad to have my own adult life in general separate from, oh, say, MY X-STEPDAD.
I'm psyched about my flower beds. Yesterday featured a long sweaty evening that ended in me filthy as hell, taking a nice long bath with Jake and Elise in mah huge tub. Very satisfying. I also have some new kitchen window herbs (italian parsley and spearmint added to the basil that was already there), and trasplanted our lychee tree into a bigger pot (we're waiting until the fence is in to plant it in the ground, since the planting spot is very close to where the fence will be).
A random, lone, beautiful purple flower also sprouted up in the middle of the grass, and Grant was due to mow, but Aaron swayed me with his big heart and bigger eyes, so I dug up the roots with him and put it in the old lychee tree pot. I told him there are no guarantees it will do anything but die, but it was worth it for me just to see him standing there cupping the dirt in his hands, talking to the thing "It's ok, Little Flower. We're not mowing you." This from my electric guitar wielding, frequently mohawk'd, karate obsessed flibberdiggibit that can barely pay attention to schoolwork...
The bunnies are doing well, and I am REALLY EXCITED about getting chickens, even if it is still a couple of months off.
