Lizards, Corn, and refridgerators

Boy can this girl shuck some corn!!! Meredith and I were anxious for Cory to get home on Monday night and we decided to take a trip to WalMart to get a few items that we forgot on our Friday trip. We first went to the gardening section and got some Petunias for our flower bed. We don't really seem to branch away from Petunias every year. They last so long and look so pretty, you just can't go wrong. We then went and got our few grocery items and saw fresh corn. I was so excited. This has to be the best time of year when you can get all kinds of good produce. I CANNOT wait for our garden to get to the place where I can pick!!! Meredith obviously had a good time shucking this corn. It was a fun experience for her and she wanted to eat it right away. You can't beat 25 cent an ear. All I can say is we should have gotten more. Today we went to Ladies Prayer meeting and then came home. Meredith needed to nap early so that she could go over to Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Gene's . Aunt Lindsey came over after school and loaded Meredith up.....off I went to clean. I got a good amount done and mom was nice enough to agree to keep Meredith up until church tommorrow night. After work tommorrow morning I should be able to get a fair amount done.

I failed to mention our new friend....the Lizard. He is hanging out around our front porch and just about every time we go outside we have a sighting. It is really cute to watch Meredith talk about the lizard jumping and imitate his movements. On a bad note...Cory and I noticed tonight that our freezer did not feel cold...and some of our food had thawed. We then looked in the fridge section and it did ont seem very cold either....OMG!!!!! Our fridge is currently packed with food and it is all getting warm. I am trying not to freak out. Cory has been on the phone and working on it for a couple of hours now and all I can think about is how it is 10:15 pm and what are we going to do about our food????

Whirlwind Weekend

So, our weekend was very busy and I really was just too tired to post. We were so glad for Cory to be home. He didn't make it home until after 9 on Friday night, so I had to do my best to keep Meredith up, and boy did we regret it. She woke up a little after midnight and had a rough night. Cory was back to work by Saturday morning and Meredith got to spend a day with her Aunt Drew. I could tell they both really enjoyed that. I had to teach all day. Saturday evening we recovered from our busy days and long night. Sunday was church and I have to admit I was coming down with either a bad cold or some serious pollen issues. I haven't been able to breathe for 4-5 days now. I think that may also be why I am so tired. After church we went out to eat and Meredith wanted to "march" all over the resturant. She napped well and we played outside. She played out with daddy and then later with me. We drew out her shark game for the birthday party.

I am very excited that our garden is growing and even more excited about her birthday party and Cory's family coming.

Apology

I guess an apology is in order after my blog yesterday. I realized (after it was brought to my attention) that maybe my vent session on my childcare situation may have been a little harsh. So, for those of you that read it, forgive me, and for those of you who did not, then no harm done. My blog shouldn't only be used to vent my frustrations, but to keep you guys up to date. I have edited my original thoughts to be a little more positive. You have to see that there are always those who appear to have it better than you, BUT there are also those less fortunate...right?

Moving on....today we hit the ground running and got our grocery trip out of the way. We are really looking forward to our Daddy/Cory reunion tonight. I will have to post later on how that goes.
