Manic Monday

This is Maggie (laura's min pin) and Mama!! She really missed Ma while she was gone!
Remember my little garden that we planted...yeah it got a lot bigger!!
Did you know there are tomato plants, green pepper plants, and Corn growing in this mess of Marigolds? There are 6 Tomato plants, 6 pepper plants, and 8-10 corn stalks!!

We don't know how but these Marigolds are the size of my fist!!!

Ok so we successfully got Mom home last Thursday and I spent a couple days at Mom and Dad's house helping get her settled in.

This weekend was pretty laid back. Mike had a party for a guy from work on Friday night and I didn't leave Mom and Dad's until about 11:00PM.

Saturday we didn't get going until after 3 in the afternoon, but once we did we really got going! We had to go to Wal-Mart and get things for us to can some salsa and some things for Mom and Dad.

We delivered those items and spent a little time with the rents. It was nice! I really like seeing them both EVERY DAY! Too bad that is not possible!

:(

After that we went and visited Mike's mom and we all went to Walgreens.

Finally we headed for home about 9:00. Once we got there it was full speed ahead on canning salsa with tomatoes from our garden and peppers from my Mom's!

We had fun this was a learning experience for us but it went really really well! It is delicious, but we only had enough tomatoes to make 2 1/2 pints so we can't wait to get more!! Yum! The 1/2 is already gone! Well I was feeling festive during all this salsa making and made a pitcher of frozen margaritas, and it called for 1/2 can (that the mix was in) of tequila. So I added a 1/2 can of tequilas and another splash for good measure...well needless to say I drank the entire pitcher...yum yum but was way silly for the rest of the night!

Yesterday was Sunday. I dread Sundays. First of all, I had taken a couple days off work to help my parents out and since I spent a lot of time over there I got NOTHING done in my house! I spent most evenings at the hospital last week! So I stayed home yesterday and catch up on laundry, I think I did at least 5 loads. Now it's all clean! That never lasts long though! Derek came over and the boys played around with a metal detector. Too bad they didn't find any thing good!! But at least they had fun. That pretty much sums up the weekend. This week is already getting full! Pleas e-mail me and tell be how everyone is doing! I would really love to hear from ALL of you!!
