Going to Kroger in the morning. Get biscuits and sausage to change up sister’s breakfast.
Watching boy-child tonight. Blondy is supposed to be back by 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. Shortie is dropping girl-child at baby’s other grandmother’s house, then going to spend weekend with her bestest friend. Blondy is trying to get sister to come over and babysit tomorrow night, but sister ain’t havin’ none of it. She is going to airport with her gentleman friend to airport to pick up his son coming home from overseas military service. Blondy's just gonna have to suck it up or take baby with her.
Been playing around with BuddhaBoy—waving arms, turning in circles, and such. He has made his own unique adaptation—he has started walking like a zombie, stepping slowly with arms straight out in front of him. Entertains girls and sister to no end.
Teaching the boy head-banging. He’s pretty good at it. :-)
I took a shhh-owwww-er today, too!!! Nah, nah, na-na, nah. pbbbbblllllllttt
Uh, hold the phone: Blondy was back at 10:30! Hmmm...what does she want? LOL

New day. Sister running late. Asked her to take me to library before Kroger. Called to check SNAP amount left, and proceeded to fill a grocery cart when I only had a list for a dozen items. :-D Much of it was staples, like BIG jars of catsup and Miracle Whip (both of which these girls would diiiieeeee without), so I don’t feel too badly about it.
Supposed to have had storms around Noon, but I have been watching the radar and have seen the progress of the cold front as it moves south. T’ain’t gonna be happenin’ today.
Boy-child will be a year old in two days and still only has one tooth. Girl-child is 5 ½ months old and has two teeth breaking through. Weird, weird.
Napped today. Have a lingering sinus infection or something like it, I think, and don’t feel too good today. Did tell Blondy I would watch boy-child until Midnight. Have the ball game on. Why is it always a guarantee that when the Red Sox and Yankees play, the game will drag on for at least four hours?
Whoa, Nellie! She came home at 10:15!!!
===============================================================
New day. Made pancakes for boy-child. He sure is eating ‘well’ lately.
Sitting here looking out the bedroom window at the backyard and cringing. Might talk to sister about letting me get a cordless whacker. Found one for $60. Will have to recharge at least once if I want to do the whole place at the same time, but I could do part one day, part the next, etc. Wouldn’t have the nice smooth, even look of a mower, but it would get done. If feel up to it, will pull those floweredy looking weeds. They come right up and I can clear at least 1/5 of the back yard. Might try straightening the gardening shear blades, see if I can manually cut some of the grass around the fence line. Have a lot of tree seedlings to dig up in the side yard that I let get out of hand. If I clear one a day…
Think I will move the tree peony today. Low humidity and only mid 80s. Do it now before it gets too hot for me to be outside. Understand that peonies don’t like to be moved, and that it will probably sulk for a year or two. But it isn’t blooming now, so that would be no different.
Have daylilies ready to explode all over the place. Really looking forward to see Jamaican Me Crazy. Might be open tomorrow. Will see soon enough, I guess. Shouldn’t be impatient since the annual show is over so quickly. Cut some lavender sections to see if they will root. The Victoria Blue Salvia and Sunshine Blue Caryopteris both did, as did the Irene Trailing Rosemary. Fingers crossed. Still can’t tell if the Zepherine Drouhin rose cuttings have rooted, yet. Waiting...waiting...waiting on that. Patience, m’gurl, patience.
Sister came over to bring Blondy something. I was making sausage, egg, cheese biscuits to freeze for her and she eated-ed one for lunch. Also made up some bacon, egg, and cheese taquitos for the freezer. Or for her to take to the other house if she wants. That way, if I don’t feel like getting up to make fresh, or if it is a day that sister doesn’t have to take DIL to work and won’t be over here that morning, she has them ready.
Blondy and boy-child gone for the night. Shortie will be home sometime this evening, just don’t know when. School is half day on Wednesday and Thursday, then out for the summer. Lord only knows what is going to happen when both girls are home all day, every day, at the same time. Shortie sayyyysss she is going to look for a job, I just haven’t seen any effort to do so, yet.
Dragging and weepy today for some reason. Think I will go to bed early. It surely is quiet enough for the moment to sleep well!
