[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 295154, member: 7416"] Hello everyone, I have been feeling a little more interested in gardening myself lately. After having planted more than 300 seedlings last November and having that flood, it has taken me a while to get motivated again. i did plant a little bit of garden, then we had another flood in May! I like weeding myself, it looks so lovely when it's all cleared. I might get me some seedlings by week's end and start my winter/spring garden. With all that's been happening around here, today I even rang my best friend and invited her to run away with me to the circus. We're both on overload (her mom's been in hospital about 4 months and she herself has had a nervous breakdown from the stress) and overdue for a holiday (of sorts). Anyway, this morning with 5 children to get motivated and delivered to their various activities, it was an early start. When it was just daughter and I, we raced about washing, cleaning etc. in readiness for my aunt and uncle who arrived just around lunchtime. By this time, I had a pumpkin soup, quiche and tongiht's dinner all bubbling away and 4 loads of washing pegged out. When they arrived, the Homeschooling went out the window, as we excitedly caught up on all the news. They will be here until Sunday. DS has been in a fairly good mood since being home from work and tomorrow I hope to motivate him to ring a few more butchers asking for appointments to present his CV. We must get his apprenticeship somewhere soon, it would really help us all if he's in regularl employment that's going forward. Cherub had a very bad day at school with accidents, could be she's unsettled with the new teacher helping her? And then I discovered she'd taken (stolen) $20 from my diary (schedule) in the car and popped it in her pocket. I couldn't work out from her limited answers, why, but did tell her it was very naughty; and explained what stealing was. I am sure she knew she was doing wrong, but she just kept saying "i don't know' when I asked her where it came from etc etc. Eventually, she told me, when she was clear I wasn't getting too angry, but just wanted the answers. As to why, well, when I suggested tuckshop, she got happy and said yes, yes, then I said no, no, it's not yours, and that's stealing.... it wasn't going anywhere though so I had to leave it. Well, have a happy day everyone. I have to get the table ready for my guests, and go to bed soon. [/QUOTE]
