Mixed feelings

It’s really been a long day for me and I still have so much to do.
I picked a couple of gallons of beans and some other assorted veggies today. It wasn’t bad for a first pick, but I’m disappointed about the way my beans have grown. We like one certain bean better than all of the others. Normally I grow them up cattle panels and they vine up taller than I am, but I put chicken wire all around my garden this year and decided to plant them around the parimmeter. The beans didn’t take to the chicken wire very well and when ever I tried to train them up the wire the runners would break. Now I’m having to lift the plants up off of the ground and hunch down to find the beans which are very hard to find that way. Normally they are all up and down and very easy to find on the cattle panel. I’ve decided to replant the beans and I’ve cleared out some room for them. Maybe I can get them in the ground on Wednesday.
I dropped both of my American Lit classes. I’m really kind of sad about it, but it was just too many hours for me to survive. I don’t want to neglect my family. I still feel a little sorry for myself, though. I wish I could take everything I want. Lit net is my consolation. It’s so nice to be able to read and post about books here. I don’t know anyone that likes the same books that I do and it really stinks that I don’t have someone to talk them over with. I love you guys!
I ordered this book from Amazon today for four cents!

After shipping it was 4.03, but that is still really good. Would any of you like to read it with me? I’ve been wanting to read it for some time. It will be the first book I’ve read by a living author in I don’t know how long.
My mother came up for the first time in months. She brought doughnuts and my soup pots and Larry. He’ll go in the mail the next time I leave the house. She also brought my brother’s girlfriend. It’s always hard for me to know how to feel about people. I really need like a year or so before I can really decide. I had a nice time visiting with her. They have a very unconventional lifestyle and sometimes it’s hard for me to support their ideas. I do understand how they feel because in theory it’s not a lot different from the way I am, but in reality it’s much further out there. I want them to be happy. I just wish that my brother would get a degree before escaping conventional society and all of the trappings therein. I think everyone knows what life at my house is like and you know that I’m not a mall lover, but I do want a since of normalicy. I’m not judging them, like I say I want them to be happy. Mostly I just worry. I like her. She’s a very nice girl that has had a very difficult life. I feel like my family is the closest thing to a family she’s ever had. My mom has really taken to her and I’m so glad. I think she needs a mother and mom is up to the job.
I almost went to the grocery store today- I actually went to town with that intention. At the last minute I pulled into the Dollar General store and bought some milk and Honeycombs and bleach. I just don’t want to have to go to Wal-Mart- I doubt any of you can really blame me.
Tomorrow I plan to clean out every dresser and closet. Wish me luck. I hate that job. The up side is that I went to buy a dress for a wedding (it was my husband’s first time to perform a wedding) that I ended up not going to. I tried on a dress and it was too beg so I got some smaller ones and they were too big and I had to get even smaller ones!!! I decided I could get some clothes out of the back of my closet. I’ve looked at them, but haven’t been brave enough to try them on. Now they fit!
so I feel a little like laughing and a little like crying- it's just been a long day.
I want to think of some cool goodbye to put here, but all I can come up with is Bluebird out and that doesn’t really work for me the way it does for her.
