One must not be required to change out of night-time attire. Zip-up footed jammies are acceptable, nay encouraged.
One must not be required to entertain oneself without the aid of a certain babysitter of the screened variety.
One must not be required to eat healthy, nutritiously rounded meals (as if that's the norm - *snort*!)
One is permitted to drink a smoothie (pronounced "smoovie" by the under 3 crowd) in place of a meal.
One carries an 'unlimited juice consumption for duration of sickness' card.
Our sick "smoovie" recipe of the day:
- One banana
- two scoops chocolate or vanilla ice cream
- 1/4-1/2 cup peanut butter
- chocolate syrup (to taste)
- 1/2 (ish) cup of milk
Blenderize. Serve to sick little one in old plastic restaurant cup with accordion straw that is guaranteed to leak. IMPORTANT!***One MUST taste test at LEAST 1/2 cup or more of "Smoovie" recipe to determine adequate taste mixage and acceptability***
I cannot stress the taste test enough. It is vital for the recipe's success.

My tomato bandit has struck again. Sure my tomato plants are looking sickly, withered and crispy but they were still producing happy little tomatoes for me to enjoy in my salads.
On the deck I found this:
(Picture me exhaling loudly in frustration)
Then I looked up and saw this:
(Picture me AGAIN exhaling loudly in frustration)
Well Bubbalu, I hope you enjoyed your throwing practice. With all that repetitive throwing motion, I'm wondering if you might have yourself a little case of tomato elbow.
Serves you right...

Happy Fall.
I worked out in the yard with the hubby today. Despite wearing a sweatshirt and...uh...glistening from my elbow grease expenditure, I was chilled.
Fall is here.
Have YOU decorated for the season yet?
Take one boring, inexpensive grapevine wreath:
And add (stick em in, glue gun em in, wire em in) a bunch of fall-ish berries, sticks, floral picks, whathaveyou. Then HANG it UP.
Me? I had a TON of red berry sprays that I yanked out of a 75 cent garage sale wreath. And yes, I DID spray paint half of them orange. Cause the season demands some ORANGE. Also threw some leftover sticks in there because this girl loves her some curly willow:
Fall is here. Let the apple cider consumption, harvest candle flickering, cozy blanket snuggling and fireplace crackling commence...
