Home UnAlone

This weekend the wife is going out of town. She is taking a couple of the monsters but leaving me with 2/3 of the brood. Now she has gone away for a day before and left me all the kids. But that was before the latest non-sleeping beast was born. Now that Miss-sleep-not-at-all is here and doesn't choose to partake in slumber I am going to have a rough weekend. The plan to get the monster to sleep is easy. I will force her to stay up until the wee hours of the night and then she will be dead tired. That is fine. I am not really worried about getting her to sleep. It is the keeping her asleep that has me scared.

So now on top of having to provide 3 meals a day to each of the children, I have to worry about sleep deprivation. Isn't this why I got married? I thought when I said "I DO" that I was saying "I Don't" to cleaning and cooking and watching children. I obviously got something wickedly wrong. We can just hope that the weekend goes by quickly and that everyone survives it.

Since there has been scares lately with dog and cat food, we now hear that there are concerns with our food supplies coming from overseas especially China. Well put yourselves at ease, I am growing a garden again. I will sell you cheap vegetables this year. I only need to recoup my costs. I am not looking to make any money. Of course, I have spent several hundred dollars already and have harvested a total of 4 basil leaves and 2 cilantro leaves. If you are in the market for cheap herbs, let me know. I will part with basil leaves at a rate of $75.00 per leaf. The price of course will go down as I harvest more, and rise ever so slightly as I make more of the $100 visits to the garden store. Tell me again why I am not buying this stuff from Food Lion?
