The Chaotic World of Maggie: When it Rains....

It is absolutely pouring on me lately!! I just can't even believe the bad luck (stupidity on my part) I've had lately. So we all know I lost my rings (my wedding rings and my anniversary ring)....well, Tuesday, I left my debit card at Olive Garden an hour away. And Sunday, I backed my car into our truck. Yes, so in a week's (week and a half) time, I lost three rings, left my debit card at a restaurant, and wrecked two of our vehicles. Ugh, as if I don't feel enough like crap, A is really sticking it to me. Crap. I hate when this kind of stuff happens. I am so hard on myself anyway, it really sucks having someone else making it worse. I will be the first to admit that I am totally at fault for being so freaking ditsy lately, but all of this could have happened to anyone. Maybe not all at once.....hahhaaha....but still! I need to get back on the ball (I am seriously wondering...have I ever really been "on" the ball to begin with??) I have to think that because this was three crappy things all at once, I have to done for a little while, right? My luck, probably not even close to being done. I've already had a hand full of other random crappy things happen today.

I will try and work on something positive for this post. I hate whining all the time. I did get my garden planted this past week (can't remember what day....they are all just blending together). I also got all my herbs planted and most of the flowers. My inlaws, L, mom, and I went to a plant show on Saturday. I bought a lucifer crocosmia, lavender, dill, another flower I forgot the name of and a "tinkerbell" pink lilac bush. Soooo cute! I have no idea where I am going to put the lilac, but it's so sweet, I couldn't pass it up and it smells so nice!! Saturday, A was sick, so I worked my butt off most of the day in the yard. Sunday, A was feeling better, so I let him work his butt off in the yard! Hahaha. He mulched (with a little help from me so he wouldn't bury my new little plants), trimmed some of the trees, mowed, and weed eated. I tied the roses to the lattice on the deck to start vining. I also hacked the heck out of my butterfly bush...hopefully it will still do well after a major haircut. I also planted two hanging baskets and two pots for my front porch. I'll put some pictures up. Really, I am almost done with my yard (for now, I know it's a constant work in process). There are a few things I'd really love to get done still, but if they don't get done this year, I think they won't plague me too much. They are tasks that I need help with mostly. For example, we have some kind of viney yellow/ green thing happening on the corner of the house and it's making a me nuts because it's starting to choke out the bushes and trees near it. I'd love to just rip that stuff out! I tried pulling it out, but it's really in there. Maybe next year. I really have to lay off stressing myself out over every little thing. Besides, if I want to have a garage sale before our vacation in August, I better get to getting in that before my surgery.
