Idiot Savant Gardening 101

Check out my Wicked Garden ! I know what you are thinking WOW who's Man Hands are those?!? Well my freinds I have been blessed with many things not the least of which are my Enormous
Man Hands -Yep,I can crack a lobster in half in 2 seconds Flat! Dont even get me started on how many finger bends and finger crunches I can do ( I dont want anyone to feel bad but I will say that its between 50 and 100). I digress, my new love is gardening .(We are still in the beginning stages of our Romance so pardon me for gushing !)Its great to be outside,watch things change and grow and to maintain and eventually reap the harvest. I always thought I would LIKE it but I FREAKIN' LOVE IT! (Sorry Hubz, its not platonic anymore)I really know very little about gardening so I kind of guessed about how to do it and sometimes I would ask my Dad who is my gardenin' sensei . The tomatoes are huge and the zuchini is lush with yellow blossoms.A few green beans are starting to show as well as a banana pepper and dark green spinach . Next year I will have a better plan -more efficient use of space and water and I would like to start composting. My Manly Man Hands are very helpful in the weed erradicating department and I can use cheap child labor if needs be ( why else would I have 5 kids?) My Dad gets all the credit for building the garden and having several successful seasons under his belt -but I am very excited to find more ripe veggies as the summer goes on.

The Family that Sings Together.....

Mothers Day was yesterday and it was pretty chill and pretty great! My kids and Hubz and I all sang in sacrament meeting ( Kevin was nervous but tried very hard to learn his part and help the kids sing and never once complained -even though I totaly make him do it- and we all sang pretty well together ( Baby Sloan even helped 'sing' from the pews) and my goal was met - we started and ended together .My Mom and Gramma Great came to watch the kids stood still and didnt fight or fidget during the song ( a real concern of mine). Everyone looked nice and cute( but I did notice in primary that Nash had on blue soccer socks instead of black church socks-beggars cant be choosers).I wore the cool charm necklace my uber talented mother made for me and my sisters for Christmas(it has pics of my kids ,parents wedding ,my wedding ,sister pic and other charms too) and Ava kept askin' who's pic was on each charm and totaly playin' with it while I was singing my little solo part. Oh Well, The show must go on! We trudged through and it was very sweet to do that with my good Hubz and sweet kids. I felt very fortunate to sing with them and to help invite the spirit of motherhood and family to the meeting.Honestly, I am amazed daily at what smart and funny kids they are and greatful for a Hubz that still thinks I am the bees knees . I also need to give a shout out to my wonderful Mother who has always been SuperWoman to me. She has boundless talents, beauty beyond compare and a very generous and kind heart.I hope I can be half as cool as she is one day!Momma Fabulous I Love You!!!

Ants in yer' pants DO NOT make you do a Boogie Dance!

More Reasons Not to like Ants

1. They ruin perfectly good food that has been on the ground even if you invoke the 5 second rule.
2. They sneak in where ever they want cuz' they are so tiny.
3. Sometimes they watch you .
4. Super Ant strength makes all the other insects crazy jealous.
5. If you have several children who sneak granola bars into your room and eat them ON your bed and let granola goodness fall between the mattress and the wall and down under the bed frame making a pile of ant delicacies -Ants think they can saunter in and chow down !-then search all over the TOP of your bed for more treats when you are sleeping and masticate on your corpse like body ,chillin' in slumber town you scream cuz' big fatty ant kisses are growing into welts the size of a winebago and wakin you up from a perfectly deep sleep !So #5 is that Ants dont have manners and invite themselves over for dinner whenever they feel like it! Oh, and they dont bring a Hostess Gift!

Crack Kills

I always tell my angelic daughter Ava to Say No to Crack but sometimes kids want to find out the hard way.Good luck in crack rehab I'll visit and bring cookies.

Those Were the Days...

Remember when David Hasselhoff was beloved in Germany AND the USA ? Remember when Kit was his best friend Not a Double Double and a quart of Jack Daniels? Remember when Gary Coleman was askin Willis what he was talkin about and NOT appearing on Divorce Court with a woman he met on the set of Church Ball ( I've seen it and the best thing about that movie is my favorite guy Fred Willard-he's hilarious as always).Oh, and they were arguing about if they did or did'nt consumate their marriage( I wasnt aware that a grey area existed where that is concerned) and about how he throws temper tantrums.

Lets harken back to a simpler time when Arnold just needed a hug from Mrs. Garret and The Hoff had a bright musical future not just shirts that say "Dont Hassel The Hoff"(Genius by the way) . This has been a cautionary post about the dangers of childhood stardom and slow motion running . Consider yourself warned.
