The Mondayness

There are few things more satisfying than waking up in the night to the sound of rain after having planted seeds and seedlings. Everything in the garden beds we got planted looks happy and healthy. Other than that the morning is so-so. I didn't sleep well, the dog next door kept waking me up barking, and that kind of set the tone.

I can't fathom why a certain teen seems to think I WANT to have to nag him about things. I try pointing out that if he would just do what he knows he is expected to do then I wouldn't HAVE to bring it up. No go. I just have no way of convincing him that I don't enjoy nagging any more than he does. Then the other one was doing the you-say-black-I-say-white thing. And then the two of them just sat staring at me when it was time to go. "GET UP...GO...LEAVE" I finally said, somewhere between a sigh and a yell. Oh, and I tripped over a cord which made my knee hurt more. I start physical therapy next week.

And there you have it. Happy Monday.

Despite the Mondayness of today however...yesterday was a lovely day of being in the yard and planting....
