WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

 whew !!! i have been up since 6 am wanted to get a head start in case if it doesnt be as cool today as they are saying. so far it is really nice out there. I have turned off the A/C yesterday when we got back home and it was chilly in the bedroom this mornring. just looked on the porch and that one says 68 sure feels good. is suppose to be in the low 60s at night the rest of this week anyway....that wouldnt hurt my feelings any if it stayed that way lol

well my tomatoes are looking good finally i think they will make it . it is going to be a lot later than everyone else with tomatoes , since i had to replant....i did get bigger plants than i had the first time but they really look good this morning.
We always have ripe red tomatoes on the fourth of July but sure not going to have them this year that is for sure. if i have ripe red tomatoes i will have to buy them....

Well i have to work fourth of July ....If i had known that Kim and the babies were planning on coming down again this year i would have requested to be off. but i probably the people that come down to their summer houses this year will set off all their fireworks on Saturday night.
I had so much fun with the babies yesterday...Especially Mikaela she is sure a bright little girl and so sweet....We went for a walk now let me tell you she can sure ask questions. and when you go on walks with her you need to take a bag or basket or something . she brought home several treasures that she found and had to ask a million questions about each one....like pine cones. , what is this , where did it come from , which tree, why do they get them on there and why do they throw them on the ground....same questions about the sweet gum ball. but after hearing the answers about the pine cones she knew the answer about about why they were on the ground lol ....so we had pine cones and sweet gum balls and several rocks with different things on them ...lol
Her sweet brother has never ask things like that, He is so pretty but something is wrong with him i know ....he is very awkard in walking and forget about running it is a wild disaster, Mikaela can out run him like crazy he is 5 she is 3...He is very socialy unabe to interract like he should be able to.
He sometimes when he is by himself will be just sitting staring and rocking....yesterday he was standing watching tv. with his face up against the screen.,now i know he cant see the show like that so it has to be something else. I ask Kim if he does that all the time and she said yes that they have to yell at him to get away from the tv...all sorts of weird things he does. and he is afraid of most everything....and foods nothing can touch each other. he uses a different fork for each thing, he wont eat but 2 or 3 things....wont try anything new unless it is introduced to him really slow over several months time.He can sit for hours and hours doing exactly the same thing for hours and hours.if no one interupts him....and i mean exactly the same thing. ....She said she had ask his doctor if he thought there was anything wrong but he said he didnt think so....well i have to differ with him there is a lot wrong i thing. he isnt hyper active really the only time he gets over excited is if there are kids his age to play with then he gets like really really really hyper and reacts to them in such a way that they really dont want to be with him...then that hurts his feelings of course ...His little sister is always watching out for him and tries to get him to be better... i have told Kim what i think it is but she really doesnt want to listen ....bless her heart she knows if she didnt have such a normal one in the little girl and only had him i could understand her not thinking there was something wrong....there are so many different levels of it...there are higher levels and then there are really servere levels

well on to something more fun to talk about....oh yeah the 3 year old has gotten her mom to buy her the helmet , elbow and knee pads and she told me now she needed a skate board...she said she wants to learn how to do that. lol do they make them for beginners that the wheels dont turn as fast or something? anyone know? she kept bringing it up over and over yesterday about you know i really want a skateboard. lol i told her i didnt think she was quite old enough to use one ane she became very upset about that. she said i am a big girl i use the potty to pee and poopy ....lol she is one smile after another.  

well got to get going....got a lot to do in the next few days while it is nice....want to get some flowers repotted and some more peppers planted in the garden...thought someone might want them but havent had anyone to ask so will plant what i want ....may just put some of them into bigger pots and see what happens. just sit them up around the house.

Oh i had forgot that Georges birthday is the 30th and we are going to supprise him with a party with just a few people invited ....lol  have him a cake ordered with the emblem of the Marines on top....Kim and the babies will be here plus hopefully  Joes neice and her two girls and her new boyfriend.
it will be real informal but hope he likes it. He hasnt had a birthday party since his mom had to give them up when he was 9....so sad. His grandma and grandpa in Houston wound up raising them , their dad just was mean and didnt want their mom to have them...anyway g ma and g paw were gooe to them but they didnt go for frills of anykind,,,didnt put up a christmas tree, gave them some money an said heres your christmas you can get what you want and this was when they were 7 and 9....well got to go ...love you all going to get some things done and they arent going to get theirselves done for sure....

 

Good afternoon OH,

Gotta make this quick, I have Stormi today and we need to run to town to see if I can get a job, might just go to the store for fixins for green bean soup.

Jan~Green bean soup is great, I just make it with bacon, new potatoes and lipton onion soup.

I am planning on being at the next meeting. You should recongnize me, however I went to Stormi's softball game and her mom's dad didn't know me at first. Said he thought my DS had a new girlfriend, sure hope it didn't insult my son.

Got up at 5:30 this morning and went into the garden to pick green beans and zuchini, ended up with mud from head to toe, had to really pull a lot of weeds out of the beans, looks like my mornings are going to be spent doing that until we get the garden cleaned up. Our tomatoes are putting on like crazy and a few are turning. Corn is starting to tassel, squashes have fruit on them and we have cucumbers, so if I can keep up think I will be busy for awhile.

Need to post this and get going. Hope everyone has a good day.

HUGS

I'm sleeping in till 7;30 this week.  Our weather is great!!  Had to have a plumber come out and unstop the bathroom sink.  Cost $81 but I've spent about that much buying drain cleaner.

I've started cleaning the grout in the kitchen floor.  The stuff is working but doesn't smell very good.  What a job!!  I do several squares then rinse.  I'm going to use the steamer on it once I get done.  I have a braided rug under the table so that area isn't getting cleaned right now.

That's so nice to have a BD party for your GS.  I know he will appreciate that.  Sounds like the boys missed out on a lot growing up.

Jan, I'm with you about my son staying longer at the rehab.  He did talk to the insurance person and she's going to take care of him getting STD.  His employer said he has to complete the treatment in order to keep his job so that's a plus.  If it weren't for that I know he would be heading home.  He doesn't like to take a handout, wants to take care of things himself.  We gave him some money for laundry but he would only take enough to do one load. 

Guess I better get off here and get back to floor cleaning.  Then I'm going to WM.  I need some watch batteries.  Got tired of paying a jeweler to replace watch batteries.  I can buy 2 batteries for $5 and they are now charging $8 to replace a battery.

I need to get a jug of WM's protein powder too.  I'm doing great with my protein the last 2 days.  Made sure I got in about 80 grams.

Green bean soup?  Hummmmm......not sure about that.  How do you make it?
