Sending warm thoughts to all today!
We are taking 2 days off of homeschooling. It feels like a mini vacation here!
Our weather is taking a 30 degree bounce up today and it will be in the mid 70F. Tomorrow it will bounce back down into normal winter weather and I saw snowflakes on the forecast later this week. So I am going to spend as much time as I can in the outdoors today to take advantage of this beautiful sunshiney weather.
I have some ginger, turmeric, garlic, potatoes and onions I want to plant. I haven't decided which method to use in planting them. RGGS, raised bed, earthboxes, earthbags, or kiddie pool. hum.....decisions.. decisions.. The only thing I'm sure of is my hands are going to be in the dirt today. >>>>insert mental picture of a gardener bouncing around in glee<<<<<
There has been some drame going on this week that I have tried to mostly ignore. The drama stemmed from my decision to let DGD7 sit with xDSonIL last Sunday at church. DGD7 loves xDSIL dearly. They really bonded during the year that DD & xDSIL were married. xDSIL spent more time with DGD7 than DD did during that time. DD and xDSIL are now divorced so DGD7 doesn't see him very often. Last Sunday DGD7 excitedly ran up to me and with much happy emotion said "I saw xDSIL!!! And guess what? He still loves me!!" My heart melted with that statement. DH and I are concerned about how DGD7 relationship with males (in the future) will be influenced by DD frequent relationships changes. I want DGD7 grow up with the expectation of having stable & lasting relationships.
ANYway, fast forward hours later on Sunday.......DD text me with angry words giving me orders how I should act in church and around xDSIL. I tried to form a response to DD but her demands were too unreasonable to even respond to. So I didn't respond to her text and a few hours later she apologized for it.
Now a couple days later I guess DD realized how absurd her demands were because DD has invited xDSIL to attend DGD7 Valentine party at school today. DGD7 doesn't know xDSIL is coming to her party and it will absolutely thrill DGD7 for xDSIL to be there. ANYway, hopefully we won't have any more drama about DGD7 not being allowed to speak to xDSIL. I expect with time xDSIL and DGD7 relationship will gradually fade away. Hopefully, though it will always be a sweet memory for them both.
