Get up, get up you sleepy head!
Thu Feb 05 2004

Oh yea, it is VERY much one of those days again. I'm not sure if I'm even going to give the kids getting onto the bus grace time this morning. I think I'm heading back to bed the minute they head out of the house. The clock is set for 51 minutes, the dog is lying on my side of the bed keeping it warm until I can get back there, and now all I need to do is find the crowbar which will help me get the kids out of bed.

It might just be an ice water morning.

We didn't get our tests back last night. The rest of my classmates look on this as a reason to remain relaxed over the weekend. The resulting emotions at the response of a bad grade have been waylaid for 5 days. Personally I'm going to sit here and stress about it until I find out what I got. But that's just me.

I just woke up enough to realize… IT'S SURVIVOR DAY!!! Now I'm really looking forward to this evening when Hubby and I can cuddle and watch it together. We don't often do this with our schedule, so I always look forward to the times when we do. We've made this something of a routine. Routines are good, very good.

OK, enough rambling, time to go get the kids moving in the right direction.

    Heliotrope? I have never grown that.
    What kind of plant? Annual, perennial, vine, bulb?
    What does it smell like?

    Sounds lovely, and I like the color too!
    I will look for it at the nursery next time I go.
    Thanks!

    The leaves look like the mint family.
    If the stems are kind of "square" that would be a clue too. Nice pictures thanks. I am mentally trying to think of the best place to plant one!
    It can get really hot here. And you have to watch things like a hawk to keep them in enough water.

    p.s. the fishtank.....well, its still functioning but its empty at present, growing some rather impressive weeds that i need to clean soon. i haven't yet gotten around to getting back to the fish shop to buy all the necessary chemicals and chemical testers, but i guess its cycling along nicely, as oscar said to leave it for 4-6 weeks or so (and its been longer than that).
    i'm considering getting some regular goldfish in the interim, but its been so busy lately and anytime i decide to go to the fish shop i can't afford to buy stuff because of bills. like this month, arrggghh :)

    Well, your kids are probably my long-lost brothers. I need nothing short of a crowbar and some dynamite to get me out of bed in the mornings. One of the main reasons I hated school was having to get up before the sun. Our school starts at 6.50 a.m.
    Love,

    Catching up with you...yea, I know Rudy had to go, but I was secretly hoping Jenna would get voted out. That girl is seriously annoying me. I'm really enjoying the All Stars game.
    Enjoy your Friday night!
