Grow baby grow
Just in case the title of this blog got you wondering. No I'm not pregnant. I'm not talking about babies or kids today, I'm talking vegetables. In my fondest dreams I am living a totally self sustained life. Growing and making all that I need, and being blissfully happy in my simple life. Of course in my dreams, nothing is hard, and life is easy. Lets wake up now! I have always wanted a home garden, and I have always failed. It's not easy when you live in places like Florida, the Upper peninsula of Michigan, or New Mexico. I would love to blame it all on the harsh climates of those places, but the truth is I can barley keep a house plant alive. This year I have decided to try the Topsy-turvy. I will start with my favorites, cucumbers and tomatoes, and we'll see how it goes. If they die I might as well give up. Well at least until my dreams convince me to try again!

GETTING ON WITH IT
Well, we are slowly all getting better. Adam is developing a rash that I am keeping my eye on. I think that he may be having a reaction to the antibiotic that he has been on for an ear infection. Tomorrow is the last day of school for Adam, and Aaron. The other two are already out. Summer is officially here. My Grandma Maisak left yesterday. She came to stay with us for a week and a half to help us recover after the hospital. We loved having her. She was so much help. When she said that she was going home Adam said, "I don't like that". Well Adam, I did not like it either, but we can't keep her forever. Today is my first full day with out her. I woke up this morning to a sink full of dishes, crumbs on the counters and floor, and wondered how the house could have gotten so messy so fast. I took a deep breath as I took a look around and realized that I would be doing it all by myself today. I know that the kids could always help, but for now they are to busy celebrating the fact that school is coming to an end. I'll have to get a summer work schedule in place soon! Now that Grandma is gone, I just cant think of what to have for dinner. I have such a hard time with that chore, and it happens every day. Just one of the reasons why my kids are addicted to fast food. One of my Goals for the summer will have to be eat out less. Wish me luck with that!

final update
Zachary is still in the hospital. He is better, but not 100%. They asked us today if we wanted to stay and have him seen by more Doctors, or go home. I bet you can guess what we said. WE WANT TO GO HOME! Now we just have to wait for our discharge papers which take forever, but I hope to have my baby home by bed time. It's just our luck that our nurse is going out of town and wont be back until the 22nd. It will be hard not to have a break at night, but anything would be better then another day in that hospital.

Just wanted to let you know that Zachary is getting stronger. His fever is going down, and he is needing the Oxygen less and less. I was surprised however when the Doctor said that I would probably still be here on Monday. ahhh.... we will see if we can make it
