it had been a long day without dad. even longer for her without a nap. we were on our way home from grandma's. he was making drilling noises, tractor noises, truck noises & just plain noise. she was beside herself screaming. i'd already given the 'lets-show-self-control' talk and decided to turn up the radio and just make it home! he was controlling himself - his noises were moderately quiet for the car. so above mercy me & jeremy camp i hear her wailing - 'NO! no, you are not controlling yourself! stop! i don't like those noises. you are not controlling yourself!'
he pretty much ignored her. and i smiled - poor child. she was put to bed as quickly as possible. and was asleep before i was down the hall.

'when are we going to heaven, mommy?'
'when our bodies die, we will go to heaven.'
'oh, when is my body going to die?'

well in spite of the fact that 'juanna' ;) is not around i started the weeding. crazy! the iris' are half dead. the ones alive are swarming with wasps. my little helpers were hard to convince that the alyssum did not need to be pulled up in chunks. i am half way through one side - waiting to be rescued - ha!! on the plus side i'm getting some good sun & it will look fresh when i'm done. conQueR!! i will!
