and more spring

I totally did not read today and not because of work. It was beautiful out 75 degrees beautiful. So me and my sidekick planted over two hundred onions- red and white, moved all the potted plants outside to the front stoops... including many soy beans, snow peas, 2 rhubarb plants, four corn plants and two strawberry containers with about a dozen plants altogether. We also planted about 30 garlic cloves. My blueberry bushes came in so we took care of those too. I also got more packing done and two loads of laundry which brings me to a sore point with the hubby, he always says he can't get things done because he is watching the kids... maybe it is the missing multitask gene in males... it's kinda frustrating, but I can't deny that he is a great dad.

On to the sad bit... we are gearing up once again to visit Phoenix, and not for pleasure, the hubby's grandma is not doing great... of course she is 97... I don't know how well I'll be then, I'd say not very well.

So I have a friend and I don't want to irk her but I just want to scream at her about how unrealistic she is, she can be very demanding, and takes advantage far too often of situations. She is not satisfied with her significant other, they don't have enough alone time, yet she is always telling me that they just went and saw this movie or that movie, or got away for the weekend without the offspring... these are things we dream of... but realize that now isn't the place or time, she just doesn't get life and then has to rub this in my face... although I'm not sure she realizes it. I'm afraid I'm going to just blow up at her... :( She truely does not appreciate all that she has... I don't know how to tell her this.
