Warning...reality television post...judge me if you must.

So mad my boy just got sent home on American Idol. I confess to having a serious crush on Paul. Dude has an amazing voice, so unique. And that smile...he's hot. I don't know if I can watch the rest of the season now. The only thing that would save the season is Casey winning it all. The last two weeks results have been jacked up.

On a more normal note...took my baby girl shoe shopping today. That child is so incredibly social and girly. She interacts with every stranger she meets and today wanted to try on every pair of shoes in the store. She strutted, literally, around the shoe store in each pair of shoes...polka dot capris and her big belly in a tank top. In her hair, a big white daisy...really I could eat her up. I really enjoy the time I get just with her for a few hours each week.

This week has been a little rough. Eric has been out of town for work most of the week, or working really late at events. We adjust to him being away, and then he's home for an hour or two here and there and it just creates a really strange rhythm. Next week should be a little more normal. We struggled with Trey this week, which has been a challenge to deal with alone. He's my sweet, sweet boy...and yet sometimes he's so hard to understand and figure out. Today was better, so that's good.

The weather is beautiful...peas are growing, lettuce and spinach are growing. Things are good. Plans are being made for a tree house, the chicken coop is being renovated. Baby chicks arrive in less than a month. Let's not talk about how many my husband ordered.
