I am a 20 year old girl living in australia. I stumbled across your blog somehow approximately 2 months ago while extremely bored at work (I work full time but my work load usually takes me 2 hours at most - so it's fair to say I have a lot of free time. I have now read your blog from start to finish & I have to thank you for filling my boring work days (a good two months worth) with endless laughs. you are so funny! and so weird! but please don't take offense to that; you see, I fin you even funnier because I am just like you, but a you ger version with no children! being strange is a good thing - you don't wabt to be boring & be a conformist like everyone else around you. I love that you are so strong, so honest & so funny in the process Of telling real life stories that im sure every mum could relate to - when I read your blog, I feel sorry for my mum for all the things I put her through when I was a child - everything you mention sounds so eerily familiar hahaha. anyway, the point of this is to say that I think your amazing, and a wonderful person & mother. keep up the great work, you're a superstar. when I have children I want to be just like you ;) even my boyfriend likes hearing your stories (he won't read them, but he'll listen when I read aloud) anyway congratulations on you're beautiful children, family and blog. you're great value. your new biggest fan, anais xxxlove this blog!! geniusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-59601462326568121512011-02-25T17:58:48.426-05:002011-02-25T17:58:48.426-05:00i'd love to say we could blame our lack of lan...i'd love to say we could blame our lack of landscaping on a foreclosure. or allergies. or a disability. <br /><br />does apathy count?<br /><br />frank… what's wrong with you? winter legs in springtime shorts?? <br /><br />maybe he just needs sunglasses… you know, for the leg-glare. might want to get him a pair… but stay away from the 3-D.<br />good luck with the yard!purejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095975148508760030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-43804632789792700872011-02-25T17:36:51.158-05:002011-02-25T17:36:51.158-05:00Oh yeah, those knee length shorts and whitey white...Oh yeah, those knee length shorts and whitey white legs are soo hot!

My husband built a gigantic play house in the backyard trees right after we moved in and I added a couple fruit trees last spring and a garden area, but it's all in the back where no one can see we are trying. I think most of what we have done so far has made it look worse and probably has the neighbors worried.<br /><br />My husband volunteered for an out of state project at work that promised lots of overtime. I am hoping to put the extra earnings into the yard when he gets back. I can't wait!Chalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447177968211276809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-68237997356932812792011-02-25T15:47:52.083-05:002011-02-25T15:47:52.083-05:00That yard is FULL of potential!
