I know I took a shower today, i swear i took one. but after 3 hrs of gardening i am questioning my memory. J is home with chicken pox which we're calling kangaroo pox because it sounds cooler.

he was very excited to be helpful and it took a lot out of me to think of ways a spotted 4 yr old could help.
started everything in pots and now they're ready for full gardenhood.
 we got on the rest of the peas, some beets, kale, eggplant, spinach, and cucumbers. hopefully we'll get the rest in later. and of course there's still stuf in pots that's not quite ready yet.

i swear finding stuff to make my own bean climber has twisted my brain. hangers, old stockings, branches, etc. think i'm going to give in and just buy rabbit fencing.

now back to the 4 yr old who is sick but not acting like he's sick. i mean chicken pox is a cruel mommy illness. he's sick yes but still running around like he's ok so you have to come up with activities and alphabet writing and sock puppets just to entertain this little guy till dinner. i mean i pay a perfectly good preschool teacher to do this shit. and don't they always say to expose your kid to another kid with the pox. so let him go to school and infect all the others.
