We left T. Falls last night and came home. This morning I actually got up and ran. It has been awhile, actually since the kids got out of school. I can't take it though; I feel so much better if I make the effort to be consistent. I will get up early to run from now on. Yes. I will.
After running, I did my stint as Derrick's Office Assistant (D.O.A), and that took a good portion of the rest of my day. I am still having a hard time really digging into my work there. My two week yonder to T. Falls did not exactly render me accessible to my office work. I will work in the office more consistently and productively from now on. Yes. I will.
I did eventually manage to escape outside to work in my garden. My strawberries are giNORmous this year. Big, red, juicy bites of goodness they are. Relocated my dahlias and lupin... and watered lots. The first part of July has to be one of the most beautiful weeks of the year. The flowers and plants are at their most lush at this exact moment.
Derrick did such a good job of taking care of my garden and my fish, Kloe's lizards and he even fed Derrin's snake. Everything was well watered, fed and happy when I got home:)
I made Kung Pow Chicken tonight. I cut up the chicken with one of the knives Derrick bought about a month ago. His knives are sharp. Really sharp. I know me; I WILL be visiting the ER with one of my fingers in an ice-filled baggy within the next couple of months. Derrick has researched proper cutting techniques. He was giving the "hold your hand like a claw" advice tonight. Meh. Awkward. Better just count on the trip to the ER.
He made homemade ice-cream. He is the favorite among the kids at the moment. He is my favorite at the moment too.

Good thing Dad has SUPER-vision, huh? Keeping us all safe from the weapons he has laying around in the kitchen...;)
The ER visit will be an exciting time for all! :P
ps- The scissors are weapons too. They are too sharp for most mere mortals to handle. That probably includes me too, so don't feel bad.
