81 degrees. inside. with a/c doing something, but not cooling well.
let's all start singing old the patch-the-pirate songs... "i can't wait til tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow..." that is assuming the a/c dude can fix our problems in one trip.
9:49 p.m.- until a few minutes ago, we were hanging out on the front porch, enjoying the breeze and fresh air. it's now down to 79 inside after opening the windows and turning off the a/c to give it a break for a couple of hours. baby bear is asleep, half-naked, in her crib. don't worry, i'm sure she's wrapped a blanket around herself and is plenty warm. oh, and she had such a bad diaper that she tapped on the front door, said poo-poo, and let us change her without too much of a fight. it was 8:45, past her normal bedtime, but she was having a lot of fun sitting and figuring out how to stand on her trike on the grass outside. no need to ride it, there are plenty of other uses! i have the feeling she'll be catching up to her cousins' crazy antics sooner than i'm ready. this after begging to wear her training pants earlier today (they are pink and pretty), then begging to have them taken off, then going into the bathroom, standing next to the potty but not sitting in it, closing the door in my face, and peeing all over the floor and herself. and then falling flat on her butt and back when she couldn't walk on the slippery floor. i washed the floor while she took a bath. at least she peed on the bathroom floor.
we let her go to bed with a sippy cup of water so she doesn't dehydrate from sweating so much. no rain yet. darn. i thought for sure that if i watered my flowers, it would rain, anyway. good thing i opted to water them!

it's all relative...
baby bear and i went to the park for a couple of hours. boy, was it HOT. now the house seems cool, at 77 degrees. the chocolate mint cookie shake i picked up from chick-fil-a is probably helping with my comfort level. maybe i'll take a quick nap while bear rests, then do a 10-minute-tidy just in time for hubby's arrival this afternoon. the house is a wreck.
hubby said it's raining on the interstate; perhaps he'll bring the cooler air with him!

current indoor temp: 78 F
that's WITH the a/c "on", the ceiling fans and all other fans running, all lights off, blinds closed, etc... i'm thinking of using this as an excuse not to cook and to head somewhere that has working a/c. hubby's not here, anyway. the a/c guy is coming on friday, if there is a cancellation tomorrow, i am tempted to skip play group if necessary.
i tried spraying down the outdoor a/c unit to get the dust off it... that didn't make a difference. i've tried turning it off and back on, resetting the breaker, etc.
so it looks like hubby will be coming home to a warm house, tech mom will no longer have to freeze in her own home, and baby bear will continue running around in nothing except her diaper for the time being.
it's not even summer yet. at least it's not 100 outside.
10:45 pm update... still stuck at 78. the temp climbed up to 80 when i decided to open the windows during our evening walk. so i closed them again and have learned that some of the a/c is in fact working. the tall oscillating fan will be moved into my bedroom shortly. bear has a small fan on her dresser, providing added circulation. not that the air actually gets to her, because she insists on sleeping with her blankie and pulling it up over her head. the sweat makes really tight, cute curls, though! i don't expect the a/c to work any better tonight than it did last night, but it does seem to be pulling humidity out of the air, which is a good thing.
hubby may be reconsidering coming home with our house's current state of temperature. tech mom, send some of your freon with him, OK?

the a/c is on the brink.
after dinner last night, it was up to 78 degrees. this morning, i had it set at 68 to see if it would go that low.. it made it to 71, which tells me the sound of the fan that i hear running is doing absolutely nothing. that is totally unacceptable for eskimo man, i mean, hubby. i am NOT cancelling our playdate plans tomorrow, so that means while i take bear to her 18 month checkup on Friday, hubby can stay home and wait for the a/c technician to give us an estimate. we'll just have to recruit all the extra hands at the doctors office to hold her still while she gets her shots. that'll be fun.
at least i slept well last night, because if the a/c is not fixed by this weekend, hubby will be very cranky.

Another addiction?
This morning I decided I didn't like where I had planted some of my lillies. So I moved them, closer to eachother instead of all spread out. I decided to go for a big burst of their color in one region of the flowerbed instead of little sprays across the whole thing, if that makes sense. I hope they make it, I think they'll be fine. I gave them some extra soil and food. Still no sign of the new callas, and I can't remember exactly where I planted them. So either something ate them while we were away, they rotted, or they are slow-growing. Hoping for the latter, but if they are the only main casualty, my garden will be ok.
Bear is napping. I think she's teething. I should be cleaning. It is "Tackle It Tuesday", after all...
My Dad is coming over to use the plants I split for him as an excuse to see his granddaughter. :-)

menu plan monday...
umm, that would be see what i can scrape up for me and bear while hubby heads back west for a couple of days. there, tha was easy.
other wanderings of my mind...
we met our newest neighbor tonight. he is absolutely adorable. he weighed 8 lbs, 9 1/2 oz and was 20 inches long. it's no wonder his mommy was so ready for him to come out. she is normally very petite. his mommy and daddy are so proud, and we are very excited for them. baby bear wanted to give him lots of kisses. she loves babies. she also wanted to keep the bag that we brought a gift in. indian giver. (the baseball playsuit is a little small for her, though.) he will be one week old tomorrow, and everyone seems to be doing terrific. the cat might feel a little left out, but he will be ok.
baby bear and i ran some errands today. we played outside in the yard. i did some laundry. there's are still so many things left to do. part of me wants to ignore the chores, but really, i can't. i read proverbs 31 today. maybe it's time to revisit my finding focus project before the year is half gone. oh, and maybe i can teach her that while picking flowers is fun, picking all of them defeats the purpose of all of mommy's hard work in the garden. what? 1 1/2 year olds don't reason? you don't say...

I wonder how long it takes for calla lily bulbs to spike after their initial planting?
I planted already grown plants last year, so this is a new thing for me. All my other bulbs have come through. I hope I didn't put them in the ground upside down! That would be just my luck. But hey, my pink lillies from last year have definitely multiplied, the glads are coming up nicely, and the asiatic lillies have popped through the mulch. Oh, and the snapdragons that I thought were frozen have come back nicely, which is a very good surprise! So I supposed if my lavender calla lillies don't come up it's no big deal. Or maybe they just take a little longer, and they wll extend the color of my garden a little later. That would be nice.
Digging in the dirt isn't always fun, especially with a toddler tugging at your leg, but the anticipation of the end result is like waiting for Christmas morning as a kid.
Perhaps I'll post "in progress" pics tomorrow... to show how much they have grown since I planted them!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo! (Happy May 5th)
I'm not quite the history buff, but I have personally been to the fort in Puebla, MX. This is the location of the Battle of Puebla, which is commemorated by Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo is not to be confused as the Mexican 4th of July, as many of us gringos might assume. I believe that it commemorates the Mexican defeat of the French, who were attempting to take over the country. Good thing they lost, otherwise we'd have southerners trying to learn French, and God help anyone with a southern accent who is trying to do that. (Me, included.)
We made it home safely... mostly sunny skies, no overturned tractor trailers or other wrecks on the interstate, and Baby Bear only protesting mildly every so often. She even napped for about 1/3 of the drive!!!
While Hubby unloaded the car, Baby Bear went straight to her trike in the garage and asked to ride it. We walked down to the end of the street and back, and by the time we got home, Hubby was exhausted. So I took Baby Bear out front to help me plant the flowers which Tech Mom brought down from Great Gramma's farm in WI. They've been in limbo for 2 weeks, I was compelled to give them homes in our gardem ASAP. Well, Baby Bear insisted on digging in the dirt and bagged cow manure/soil stuff. Yes, I know that is gross. I don't care. She had her plastic scoop and rake, and knows that raking grass is not as much fun as digging in the real dirt. Needless to say, she got filthy. And when she became tired, she got clingy. So I interrupted Hubby's phon conversation with his brother, he stripped her down to her diaper on the front porch, and took her in for a bath. That did the trick.
I found places for the green and white hostas and seedum, and then I extended the bed at the end of the deck for the mystery flower. It's going to have a white bloom, and may be called Sweet William, or a type of dianthis, or something.. Tech Mom couldn't remember. My glads and calla lillies are at least a foot tall, and the asiatic lillies are starting to peek through. My green beans have grown a LOT in their back pot, and the tomatoes that I thought had died in the Easter freeze on that same pot are alive and growing. The newest calla lillies haven't come up yet, but that's ok. I'm hoping they will rise to the occasion and provide just the right splash of color after the others have slowed down. They will be transplanted to another pot after I buy more dirt. After touching up the mulch, I think we'll be done, other than watering and weeding, at least til fall. Oh, and except for trying to keep my veggies alive out back.
Hubby needs the laptop to catch up on bills. Good night, y'all!

It's been a good two weeks.
Baby Bear has loved chasing the kitty, feeding the goldfish in the pond, going for strolls, picking flowers, scrambling up and down the stairs and spending time with Tech Mom & Dad. She has also been a trooper at staying up an hour past her regular bedtime on several occasions when we've gotten together with friends. You know your toddler is ready for bed when you set her in her pack and play, she rolls over, wrapping her blankie around her, and exclaims "bye!" She's done that quite a bit, and we've cracked up as we left her to fall asleep on her own.
I'm sleepy. I've taken tons of photos, which I'm going to have to compile into collages or something. I have yet to teach Tech Mom how do upload pics to her blog. I think it will just be easier for me to get her password and hijack the thing. Or else I'll just post them on my blog. We're both too tired to mess with a lesson at the end of a day.
We head home tomorrow. Home, sweet home. This is a close 2nd, but I am ready to go home.

- I think I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrist because of my blogging addiction.
- I am older than my hubby. Not by much, but this is funny because everyone tells me I look younger. Every now and then (maybe a couple of times a year), when I order a margarita or daquiri, I get carded. Unless I'm at the Mexican restaurants which we frequent. They know I'm older than I look.
- While I am very disorganized in many areas, I have certain obsessive tendencies which contradict that inherent messiness. The most noticable at home is my silverware drawer. I can't think of the others, but my family might reveal them. (Blogging is the most obvious.)
- I'm cultivating a love for gardening. It's in my genes, as my parents have gardened as long as I can remember. My Dad's parents had a wonderful garden in Yonkers, NY. My yard is not very big, so this poses a spacial problem. I may have overdone it planting bulbs this year. But pretty flowers are better than no flowers! Gardening reminds me of our Creator and I am awed by the unique qualities of the various plants.
- I have a harmonica collection. I received my 1st Harmonica as a birthday present, I think when I was in the 5th grade, but it might have been middle school. My grandpa let me play his harmonica when we visited him, so my parents bought me one. My neighbor's uncle saw me playing on our front stoop, and a year or so later, he mailed his harmonicas to me shortly before he died of cancer. I would love to learn the best way to clean harmonicas. I'm scared to play them because I don't want to get them too dirty.
- I majored in Secondary Ed-Spanish, but I've forgotten a LOT since I graduated. I taught High School for just 2 years before venturing into other areas. Now I stay home with my little girl.
- I'm a novice scrapbooker, and my husband is trembling with fear at the potential cost of the hobby. I may have recruited my new friend Carmen to the scrapping community last night. I've accumulated a decent collection of tools: corner rounder, circle cutter, 12 inch cutterpede paper trimmer and deckled blade, set of 20 edged scissors, tiny brads, girly papers, baby themed stamps, adhesives, and pens. It's time to get to work! I tend to get overwhelmed at the idea of the big picture and struggle with just taking things step by step.

Thankful Thursday...
Today I celebrate my husband. He was born 29 years ago. He is a wonderful partner, friend and father. He made me laugh when I first met him, and while life often seems more serious these days, he still makes me laugh. God has given him a desire to protect and care for his family that many people never get. He works hard to provide for us, and the gift of his faithful companionship is something I cherish. Happy Birthday, Hubby! Te amo mas y mas!

Scrapwanderings
As I mentioned yesterday, I got a new blade for my Cutterpede paper trimmer. I must say, I think I'm going to love the deckle edged effect. I trimmed the edge of my ultrasound collage, and the effect is pretty cool. I have such a hard time cutting straight with the fancy-bladed scissors, so I suspect I will be using them for smaller accents and increasing my interchangable blade supply.
I am now prohibited from buying any more scrapping papers until I actually complete more pages with some of the photos and paper I already have. Too bad I left my adhesives at home. Nap time would make a great scrap time! I may go ahead and pre-plan some of the layouts for the next few pages, since I had hubby go through the trouble of bringing the pics that arrived in the mail while we were away last week.
So, Farm Wife, Bec, crt & steph- how are your scrapping projects coming along? (And anyone else.)
Here's a couple of novice questions for you experienced scrappers (those I know and those who may be lurking)...

Here's a couple of novice questions for you experienced scrappers (those I know and those who may be lurking)...
- Do you crop your pictures with fancy edges, or just use the cool edges on paper?
- What are your favorite websites for layout ideas? Magazines? Blogs?
- Do you journal by hand or type out your journaling? The class instruction told us that even if you have messy writing, journaling is so personal that the handwriting is part of the art. I know Bec wants her pages to be legible so she types many of her journal entries.
have i mentioned that i hate insomnia?
been up since 3:30 a.m. that's 2:30 for those of you in the Eastern time zone.
at least i didn't wake baby bear when i knocked over the fan in the hallway on the way to the bathroom.
pray for holly, one of my WAH buddies. she's delivering her littlest man today (via c-section).
mary, my neighbor, was induced to deliver her little man yesterday. he should be here by now, i hope... she's had a tough pregnancy between being like farmwife in stature (tiny)and adjusting to carrying the extra weight, the usual symptoms (usual for those of us who don't describe the physical symptoms of pregnancy as "blissful") and i believe gestational diabetes. pray for mama, baby and daddy as the adventures in parenthood begin! pray for spike the black cat to adjust well to his new sibling, too. he is very used to being an only child.
while you're at it, pray for steph, who is scheduled to deliver baby girl #3 via c-section on cinco de mayo! she's already measuring at 44 weeks, so to say she's uncomfortable is probably an uderstatement.
for those of you who have to be up this early... i'm sorry. i think i'll see if my body will go to sleep for the hour before baby bear wakes up. (she smells grandma's coffee and gets an olfactory caffeine rush bright and early. argh.)

for those of you who have to be up this early... i'm sorry. i think i'll see if my body will go to sleep for the hour before baby bear wakes up. (she smells grandma's coffee and gets an olfactory caffeine rush bright and early. argh.)
