Wednesday Randoms

Just a few random things from me this Wednesday.

I am eating popcorn and I am LOVING it out of these new Pop Up Bowls.  YUM!

One of my little girls best friends started her period yesterday.  I know, you may not have wanted to know that part exactly.  I hadn't discussed this with my daughter yet because I thought she was just slightly too young yet.  Apparently not.  :(  I guess the teacher at school explained it to the girls a little bit because she came home with very, very basic info on what it was.  They don't actually talk about it in school until almost the end of 5th grade. She's not close to that yet.  Guess I will have to have this talk soon.

I am missing my Hubby.  He's been working some crazy hours the past couple days, like getting up at 4:30am for work and then working again at 11:00pm.  I know it's nothing compared to what some people deal with, but I still miss talking to and seeing him.  I should be used to it by now, but I'm not.  His work usually slows down sometime around fall, is almost dead through winter, and then starts back up again around spring.  Well, it is that time and this week he's had a lot to do.  The rain has been messing them up lately so he's still been home with me more.  Complete sunshine this week though.  He did say that he would take me to a wonderful, big garden thing here that I like to go to for pictures this weekend or next if I would like.  That would be wonderful time together.  :)

I watched another episode of Extreme Couponing tonight.  It amazes me!  I think I partly have it figured out.  How they do it I mean.  Hubby said that if it was something I wanted to get into he would support me and help me if he could.  Those people on that show are almost insane with it.  I don't need 1500 tubes of toothpaste.  Sorry, but I just don't.  Hubby said that if we are getting it for free, we might as well get it and donate it.  I agree with that.  :)  He even said that he would help me with an area to do a stockpile if I needed one.

The bird that Hubby brought home the other day has died.  We tried hand feeding him and he was OK with it for a little while, but that just isn't what he was used to so he wasn't dealing well.  Some friends of ours told us to expect this, and we did a little, but it's still heart breaking.  :(  Hubby said to look at it in a different way...if he hadn't picked him up and at least tried to save him then he probably would have died right there.  At least he got a few extra days of fun.

Our garden is coming up nicely...finally.  It took an extra week for everything to sprout.  The only thing that we are hoping now is that the deer don't eat it.  The family/neighbors who we share the huge garden with us already had one row of their beans disappear.  Not sure whether it was the last frost we had the other week or whether it was deer.  We are hoping frost, otherwise, we need to figure out something else to protect the garden.

I've been napping/sleeping just about everyday with the quilt that my Grandma made me when I was younger.  I miss her.  About half of my adult life I didn't live near her, but that was when the Alzheimer's starting setting in too, so she barely knows when I moved to the East Coast.  I didn't realize how much I would actually miss her or how much it would bother me.  I spent the most time with her out of all of us kids, so I think that may be why I'm taking it harder than the rest of them.  I will see her again another day.

My Grandma on my Mom's side hasn't been doing so well.  Her job was in jeopardy with all this government crap that had been going on and she hasn't been feeling too well.  The doctor keeps telling her that she is too stressed, but that is not all that is wrong with her.  She is getting older, and I know this, but she is like me and she is tough and stubborn.  They did diagnose her with pneumonia a couple weeks ago and told her to take it easy.  She hasn't been dealing with that so well.  I hope she ends up OK.  

Currently watching reruns of Criminals Minds...I just have to say Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) is really cute.  :)  And yes, Hubby knows this.  Actually he knows a lot of the people I think are attractive.  Of course, I know his too.  We are secure enough to be able to talk about things like that.  He even looks at girls at work and will tell me about them.  His work guys can't believe he tells me.  No reason not to, I trust him, he trusts me.  So we find other people attractive, that is human nature.  We still know who we are married and committed to...each other.   :)
