YES! I deleted my facebook! My mom's visiting my sis (with the cute baby) in Cali, and is having fun while I mope around my house, thinking about how much I abhor mind-less schoolwork. MOMMY, I miss you!! My nephew loves taking baths...he loves the water...he reminds me of me: the rain, baths, washing hands, jumping in puddles, drinking water-all of these I enjoy. I really feel this soulful connection with him, though I've only seen his pictures...I love him, ...
The weather has been so nice this weekend that my kids are playing outside in shorts. We are usually snowed in and below freezing this time of year. I wish everyday could be so lovely, but then the okra wouldn’t grow so well, not to mention other things. I was thinking of the okra because I opened a jar of pickled okra for Mason today and he loves me for it. I only have about four jars left and I doubt that last until the okra is ripe this summer. I’m so excited to get my hands in the dirt ...

Cut up into 'bite sized' chunks and wash lightly. Place into ...

Yesterday I took everything out of my kitchen cupboards and drawers, cleaned them, washed everything and put everything back neatly, finding a few items here and there to get rid of. Though I don't do these types of things often enough, once I start, it's hard to quit. But I did and for my reward I went to see Charlie Wilson's War, popcorn and lemonade included, a light supper at Cracker Barrel, mostly to kill ...
I'm now waiting for mom to come so that we can finish watching "Because I Said So". Great movie so far. I did nothing productive today. Except for a bit of forced school, I watched movies, wrote a bit of nonsense, and moped about the horrible weather outside. Seriously, it's terrible, and I detest it. I wanted to go outside so badly today, but . . . Well. I'm going to start a photography class at the local college sometime ...
