spring

I've been exhausted but still able to accomplish lots o stuff. Last thursday I got the yellow onions planted and I actually had off on Sunday and with the "help" of the little guy and eventually his big brother we planted five wild raspberry brushes, by the stream, that I dug up from my parents yard, and twelve raspberry brushes that I ordered from burpee... 4 different kinds. We planted those along side the fence on the south side of the house. Both boys fought over who got to help shovel dirt... it was cute! Then I worked some long gruelling hours at Borders, normally I sit down for part of the time while I'm there, but for the last three days including today I've been moving product from one area to another so I have not been able to get off my feet, then of course I've gone to job number two for another 5 hours of on your feet customer service:) I've got a horrible bout of carpel tunnel going from hand carting stacks of cd's around, my right hand was so numb today I could not pick up a pen, kinda freaky! This work also makes me incredibly dizzy... it's so weird... it's not exactly like walking in circles but more like ovals... I have to every so often walk away so I don't pass out. I can't wait until Friday... it will all be done!!!! Of course I am scheduled until 1:30 am in order to accomplish the fixture moves:( The worst thing is son numero uno - he's very clingy and is constantly begging me to stay home, almost depressed... but I've been spoiling him and slowly killing me by letting him stay up so I can read to him when I get home at night... we will have to pass on that on Friday!

Believe it or not I've been able to read, not as much as I'd like, but enough to say... that this gilbert chic is me. Come on who else do you know that is into meditation, yoga, traveling... she was in Russia at age 16, loves pasta, tell it like it is writer... I don't remember writing this book... or living abroad for a year... it could be me. I'm guessing you have already realized that I continue to give eat pray love kudos no wonder it was an oprah book!
