The weekend is here. For us that means ... more work.

I should've gotten up and gone to the Monkey Biz (kids consignment) sale this morning in Ada, I was awake at 9:00 but just didn't want to get up and go anywhere so I rolled over and slept another hour instead.

Zoe loved the little goldfish in the water garden. I let her stick her hands in the water yesterday, she liked catching the bubbles the fountain makes and scaring the fish. Of course, she had to flip the water at G'ma and get me wet and, yes, G'ma splashed her back.

We have piddled around the place all morning, not doing much but just hanging together. Mark worked on my rainbird a little and got it oscillating better so I could water the squash and cucumbers I planted yesterday. We sat on the porch and drank coffee to the sound of the water garden. We fixed and ate lunch together and watched an episode of LOST. Now, he is out in the shop building cables while I am on the computer. He and the boys will be leaving in about an hour for the ballroom. Easy night tonight.


Yesterday, Emily and I went to town to do a little shopping. We went to a strip mall and I pushed her up and down the whole strip going in almost every store. We bought a pretty purple Easter basket, a stuffed baby rabbit and chick, some sunscreen,bubbles in ice cream cone packaging and green plastic grass for Zoe's basket. We looked at baby clothes and purses. We picked out a very cool black iron wind chime with copper bells for our fairy circle. We ate lunch in the van so she didn't have to get in and out again. We went to Walmart to shop for fish, 10 tiny goldfish at .28 each, a bright orange garden bag with 3 tiny tools and some seeds for her to plant and we headed home. She was exhausted with climbing in and out of the van and was sound asleep before we got out of the Walmart parking lot.


I love buying gifts, especially for no reason other than I love you. I will never have money because I enjoy giving it away too much. I buy tons of stuff for Emily because no matter how small it is she is always so happy and excited to get up and find a surprise in her chair or sitting by her tv. Seth always remembers to say thank-you and Zoe, well, she's just Zoe.

I have always told my kids... "I would pull the moon down and give it to you, if I could"

I dreamed my sister was dying last night... I dream of it over and over and over.. In this one I didn't know until she was almost gone and when I got to her house she had shrunk down to the size of a Barbie doll. I held her in my arms until she died.
