WFMW: Gardening

Spring is right around the corner, and we are gearing up to start growing some of our own food next month! Last year was our first real attempt to grow our own vegetables and it was by some measure a success. We ended up with an overabundance of tomatoes and cucumbers, but not much else. The garlic, watermelon, and pumpkins didn't grow properly.

I'm not sure why the garlic didn't work out, but the watermelon and pumpkins seeds we planted were expired on the package, so, I'm guessing that was the problem with those....:0) It was worth a try! I had just found of couple packs around our home at the time and we decided to plant those even though the package said they were expired. Hmmm....this year I'll make sure to abide by those expiration dates.

The kids are excited to grow their own food, too. They started growing some pinto beans a couple weeks ago, but have made me promise NOT to plant them with the other stuff we are planning to grow for fear that their precious plants will die! Don't you trust your mother (of father...since he's the one doing 99% of the work?! :0)

Anyway, I've obliged and we are keeping their plants inside. Their plants have actually grown so big that we've moved them into pots, and I love how the process of growing the beans has once again revealed to us how amazing God is. Their pinto beans started out as just that, obviously. We took a few of them and started growing the beans in plastic cups with a napkin wrapped around the inside to suspend the beans in the cup. Then we put about an inch of water in the bottom of the cup and added more as needed The roots and the shoots started to grow and then the bean plants grew so tall that they needed to be moved to a new home where they are at now and where they will stay at the request of some cautious little planters.

Anyway, planting and growing our own food works for us! How about you? Are you going to try growing your own food this year?

Not Me! Monday

Not Me! Monday is a blog carnival hosted by MckMama at My Charming Kids.net. It's all about sharing things that we "didn't" do this past week--but REALLY DID. Here goes:

While walking into the Meijer grocery store my three year old did not say, "Mommy, my butt cheeks came off!" I did not look down to find his pants around his knees and his underwear showing. The jeans he had been wearing were a little loose and had apparently gotten even more loose as the day wore on, so much so that they came down several times between walking in the store and leaving the store.

I did not finally getting around to updating everyone's "baby books." It's hard to keep up with four kids, but they just love their baby books. They like to look at the old pictures and find out what they were up to at different ages. It is fun to remember, and I'm making an effort to write in them more regularly. I think the pants around the knees story will have to make it into a certain little boy's baby book. ;0)

The process of going back to school is not sort of coming along! It looks like we are actually going to do it. My husband is 'good to go.' He's registered for summer classes and has his financial aid all worked out. The school is moving along much slower in my case. Since I had some previous college credit, I had to send in my transcripts and they are super slow in processing this information. Things were supposed to be worked out last week after I spoke with a counselor. They weren't. Ugh. I will not be contacting them again this week. :(

I did not have to go 24 excruciating hours last week without nursing. I had a HIDA scan done for my gall bladder and was told that I could not breastfeed for 60 hours (in that time I was to "pump and dump" which I did). I had been putting this procedure off for about four months for that very reason. I finally decided not to reschedule my appointment for the 785th time, and just do it. After all, the baby just turned one year old, and I had a brand new bottle just in case. I chose not to pump milk ahead of time because he is old enough to drink whole milk in a bottle, and it isn't the type of milk that is the problem, it's the bottle. He loathes it.....which is why we had a pretty miserable day last Wednesday. He clearly wanted me to feed him and was very fussy, but when I offered him the bottle he fiercely batted it away. It was bad. I, on the other hand, dealt with pumping pretty well the first day, but on the second day...I was in some pain otherwise known as engorgement.

What misery! (Okay, it wasn't that bad.)

But then things went from bad to worse. My pump decided to fall from the top of the dresser (probably with the help of a three year old), and break this teeny little piece that is absolutely VITAL for it to work. Ugh!

I was still in pain and decided I needed some computer time--not to recover from the horror of having my pump break--but to find out if I REALLY NEEDED, ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT QUESTION TO GO 60 hours without nursing. And.....success! I found information on one of my favorite breastfeeding websites that says with a HIDA scan, you don't even have to stop breastfeeding. With other radioactive scans, the stuff they put inside of you is 75% gone within twelve hours.

Having read that, I decided I was going to resume nursing. And I did.

Happy Monday!
