You Know it's Going to be a Long Day...

...when you open the door to let the dog out and two wasps let themselves in for breakfast! Between eating, and getting ready for our crazy day, we were able to kill the wasps and cover several surfaces with poison! Good times!

The rest of the day was as follows:

7:30--Mom's and Muffins at Link's school. The goal was to read with our kids. We ended up mostly talking with other moms and the kids played. Oh well. At least I was supportive, right? I was also there to help make sure his class didn't mutiny since the substitute teacher was late.

8:30--Convince Princess that she needed to come home with me rather than be a first-grader. Then, rush home, change Doodle, grab toys, call a friend to offer her some irises and grab a sack of iris rhizomes to take with us.

9:30--Doctor's appointment in our old town. (We really like our old doctor, so we thought it would be worth the drive!) That went well. Doodle is around the 50th percentile for all things measured. She is healthy and the doctor is happy.

10:00-11:30--Drop off rhizomes, visit briefly, go to Hobby Lobby (my new favorite store), and to the grocery store since I can't get this in town!

12:30--Get home, get lunch and try to put a dent in my housework!

2:30--Leave to pick up Link. Then, go home, pick up Captain M and head to the garden center! We found some great plants for really cheap. I even got a few of my favorites!

We spent the rest of the evening cleaning up the front beds, dividing more irises. (If you want some, PLEASE let me know. I hate throwing out perfectly good plants!) We had a late dinner and went to bed exhausted!

Then, it rained all weekend, which is good, but I didn't get the plants in, so I am itching to do that!

Anyway, I hope you are having a great weekend!

If we lived closer to you I totally would take some. I love irises!

Wow! What a busy day! Thanks for taking time out to visit me - I love it when that happens. And thanks for the irises! I'm excited to put them in! I'm glad I got to share our news with you - it motivated me, so we told everyone else this weekend!

I don't know if you have any irises left, but if you do I would love some! They remind me of home and childhood... =)
