Michie Life Update

We grew a garden this summer. We were blessed to get a plot in the Cheney Community Gardens, which happened to be a five minute walk or less from our apartment. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. Some of the things that we planted did wonderful and others struggled the whole time. Paul and I spent a lot of time planting, weeding, and watering. Sometimes we worked together and other times we went without the other, due to work schedules. We planted potatoes, peas (great success with the peas), carrots (very yummy and big), tomatoes (still green, trying to ripen), lettuce, spinach, basil, dill, jalepenos, green peppers(struggled), crookedneck squash (strugged, but produce a few squash here at the end), green beans, cucumbers(had to replant three times, just didn't want to grow or kept getting eatin by the birds), radishes(had tons), and corn (which didn't produce). It has been fun eating and sharing our harvest. Paul is working out at the airport again at Xn Air, and waiting for EWU to get things in place so he can do his student teaching. We don't know when he will be doing his student teaching, we are hoping that it will happen soon. I am still working at EWU's Children's Center, but I am no longer working with the three year olds in the preschool. I miss the preschoolers, but am glad that I no longer work with the other preschool teacher, who is down right awful and should never have gotten a job working with children. I am now working with the one year olds and loving it. They are adorable and tons of fun, except when all they do is cry all day, but luckily for me I don't have many cryers in my classroom. I have to create lesson plans for one year olds which to me seems rather silly, and it isn't as easy as planning lessons for three year olds. Along with work and gardening I have been doing some quilting, and sewing. Right now I have a queen size quilt on quilt frames in my living room that I am working on. I have a dress cut out and ready to sew together, and a couple of other projects. My only hang up on my projects is my sewing machine, it likes to break needles for some unforseen reason. It will work and then it decides to throw a fit and break things which makes me throw a fit, except I usually don't break things although I want to break my machine when it acts up at times, but I never do. I just try and fix the problem or I turn it off and walk away hoping that is will fix itself. Well that's all for now. Until next time, which will probably be awhile from now, so don't hold your breath.

Lazy blogger....

I am a LAZY BLOGGER!!!!! For all of you who look at this blog and have been disappointed, SORRY. I wish I could say that we have been busy and have been having tons of fun going on adventures here and there, but I can't say that. I am just lazy.
