Garden

Here's my first garden! I've learned many thing while growing fruits and veggies in my garden.

1. It's IMPOSABLE to keep a garden weeded.
2. If you dump your grass clippings in the location of your garden, it WILL grow and take over!
3. Rabbits prefer broccoli leaves more than anything else.
4. It's hard to grown strawberries from roots
5. I had NO idea how big the zucchini plant could grow!
6. I had NO idea zucchini's themselves could get so huge!
7. I haven't needed to water my garden in a month! The plants do fine with just the rain.
8. I have attracted many odd species of bugs.
9. cauliflower grows great in the house but not so well in the ground
10. I LOVE my garden!

Unemployment

So here we go into the world of unemployment. Chad lost his job on June 15Th. Unemployment is becoming more of a fad than anything these days. I must say we are relatively calm about it. I know God is in control and He always provides. Unemployment may take a while to kick in and things might get worse before they get better but I'm holding on to the hope that God has something better in store for us.
I have a friend who is not a believer. She asked me what we were going to do and I told her I didn't know. She said how can you be so calm? I would be freaking out! I told her that God is good and has always provided and I'm sure He will again! I hope this little example of God's faithfulness and my ability to remain calm is testimony to those who know us but do not know their MAKER! In our suffering I can only hope that God uses us for something great! If just one person sees and believes it was worth it 100 times!

Have a great day everyone!!

CRAZY Life

Life is CRAZY busy right now! I'm so stressed! I've been working like to mad to make hair bows which I intend to sell Saturday at the crafters on the square! I'm really excited about this because it will be the first time I've tried to sell me bows. However, I am EXHAUSTED from making them non stop the past few weeks.I still have some prep for Saturday, like : finding a 6 foot table to sell them on. Finding someone willing to man the table with me so that I can get up and go to the bathroom and eat lunch ect.. I also need to find a sitter for part of the day, poor Chad will have worked all night and I'm not sure he'll make it all day.

Next, Kaylee turns 1 on June 12th!! So I am trying to plan a nice bday party for her.

Next. I am doing a montage for John and Julies wedding. I have been working really hard on it and still lots more to do.

Next. The wedding is June 19th. I still have to figure out how in the world Chad and I are going to be in the wedding and take care of 5 kids. Moms already said she's responsible for no-one that day and my friend Steph will be helping but I'm not sure ho much she will be able to do on her own.

Next, I have to clean the house next door (part of a new job I've picked up) tomorrow which takes like 3 - 4 hours. Then Joshua has an appointment to get his cast changed. Then Sierra and Kaylee have to get blood taken and during all that I still have to finish my bows!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I'm drowning.
Wishing I could walk on water right about now!
