raising kids is hard,
especially when you have to deal with your neighbour’s kid teaching your kid how to be mean to his brother.
I think it’s time for an unpleasant serious type mom to mom convo. This can’t go on.
sleep where are you tonight?
morning is going to be here soon.
my trips to the bar rock!
Not only did an old guy wearing white shoes try to pick me up, (because he liked the way I was dancing) (lucky me), but I got 2 new clients (lucky me!!).
One of them is a run of the mill, “my garden needs help” kind of job, which is great, but the other one….
Most of the professionally designed gardens around here, are the same: lots and lots of expensive boulders and...
jack and the devil
they both get a dance tonight. I hate spending weekend nights alone…

And now I have to clean up a puddle of pee.
catching up
i’m doing my best to catch up with everything, but have had only a few minutes to go back in tumble time. I will try again later tonight. I will do my best to leave ultra witty comments to make up for their lateness.
there is a smartphone in my future, but is there time?
it’s a half marathon (sigh, not the real thing, I chickened out) on Sunday morning.
Amongst the runners is a 100 year old, going for the world record. First 100 year old to finish a marathon. If he can do it, well, I should have tried - shouldn’t I.
Oh, and you all know I’m going to be really disappointed if I have to wait for my medal.
sometimes yoga is better than, like, anything. EVEN chocolate.
aah
I haven’t done anything like this in a long time. It’s big. it’s more than the jittery feeling you get before an important job interview. This feels like final exams in High School.
It started 2 years ago, I worked my way up from nothing with a goal in mind. I trained all summer for this weekend. It’s all over now, there’s really nothing I can do to prepare any more....

chance brought me here
by chance, I have gotten into work that I love. I love everything about it, being outdoors, meeting lots of new people, doing work that is appreciated, doing work that I am good at, doing work that does no harm, using my education (kind of), taking something simple to a higher level (at least I aspire to). I love the physical aspects of the job: the air, the smells, feeling strong…...
white bread toast
is the best late night snack
Good luck, bad luck, some luck, no luck. A couple days ago i got a fortune cookie fortune that predicted: your luck will change on the next full moon. Well of course I assumed I was in for some good luck. But that’s not what it said. What if I am in a good luck period, and I just didn’t realize it? Normally I keep my fortunes, but I was feeling cavalier, and I guess I didn’t...

All the single mothers
I got a new client yesterday, I’m pretty darned excited about working on her place. Her garden is an elegant mix of country / wilderness with a bit of city flair. Her garden is structured, unconventional and site specific. And I have free reign now that she can’t keep it up any more; it will be lots of work and lots of fun.
Here’s what I’m really writing about.
Have you...
no longer a virgin
it was scary. I wasn’t sure I wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing.
now I’m in deep.
so glad to meet all of you and to get to know some of you. At these things you never seem to spend as much time with the people you think you will, and you find people you didn’t expect to find. I’m grateful for all your kind words and for getting in on the fun. When are we...
So this is what having an adult weekend is like. Where’s my nap?

kids
at bedtime tonight, my son said “I really want to marry you, Mom, but you’re too old.”
I’d be miffed if I wasn’t so flattered.
I’m going to live on that story for a long time.

that house belongs to my friend, it’s awesomely beautiful, and despite it’s overlarge size it is not overdone, it is actually a casually decorated family home of enormous proportions. It has many salvaged architectural details, doors, bannisters, light fixtures, etc.. We probably could all live in that house, but if we all had houses of that size the world’s resources would be...
I LOVE the UNUSUALS.
TV is my friend
If eating dinner seems like a lot of work- you officially qualify as tired.
