Amazes me
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Thursday, June 14, 2012
So I have a number of plants. A few I have gotten from my mom. This one she gave me, I have had a year, and it hasn't grown AT ALL. Then I was at her place and saw how her plant was doing and it was huge! She keeps her plants in a southern window, so I decided to move mine to the living room. Year ago I tried to have plants in the living room, but the kids kept the curtains closed so they could watch tv. 
Well, I moved my big plant stand in the living room and the curtains are kept open most of the time now, and BAM! That plant took off.
It just amazes me how moving a plant from one window to another makes all the difference. My christmas cactus is taking off too.
Although that was doing good before, it is even better now. I have never been able to keep an aloe plant, I don't know why. But the latest one I got, is doing well.
Oh and there is the new umbrella tree plant that I picked up at the C.A. Well, I didn't know where to put it, then I decided to put it on top of the wood stove since we weren't burning wood anymore (for the year). What happens? EO lit a fire and forgot it was still there. melted the pot and killed almost all of it. I kept what was still alive and put it in a new pot, and it seems to be doing well. It was kind of funny, how he didn't even make the connection that it was sitting there. Needless to say, I won't be putting anything on top of the stove again, no matter what time of year it is.
I am in SOOOOO much pain today, which is mostly likely why I am writing... i'm not even writing about anything of importance. I'm just trying to distract myself. Perhaps it is the thunder storm we are having. Who knows. But I was in a lot of pain yesterday too. I had a hard time settling down. Colton and EO put my chair in the living room yesterday and wow, it was so heavenly. I missed that comfy chair! It was perfect, cause I was in so much pain yesterday too. I think I said that already. Wow, I am struggling to type today. Guess my brain is over whelmed by the pain.
Anywho... EO missed the meeting tuesday, because his neck was out. He gets the worst migraines when his neck is out. But if he takes some meds and goes to bed, most of the time his neck will relax and go back into place on it's own. I felt so bad for him. Poor B.
My mom is really getting frustrated. We tried to record the CA for her, but for some reason we couldn't pic up the signal with her MP3 player. So she has been waiting for the congregation's disk. But it seems, no one knows where it is. She is so hard to deal with when she is frustrated. Her dementia is bad enough, but this... whoa. I feel so bad for Lauren. As she is the one who get's the worst of it. I'm sure someday someone will find the disk, if it hasn't been given out to some worldly people that is. The assembly seems like it was forever ago already. I sure hope we can get a signal at the D.C. or mom is going to explode all over the place.
New topic... I'm trying to come up with a new plan for cleaning. Being all the kids and EO are working for me now. I'm trying to figure out, how I can divide up the work, without me having to ask. I know on days that Steph works a double, I try to just give her lighter jobs because she is so tired after. On single shift days then I give her more work. I was thinking about, maybe, each morning, I would text them the job for the day... but IDK, Steph and Lauren do better when I leave them notes. IDK... I'm still working on that one.
So Lauren is really loving her knew smart phone. I like it too, with the keyboard. But Straight talk doesn't have one like that, (I think) I've looked at so many. I don't know who has what anymore. I just know some day I want to get one.
