Today was busy. Lots of laundry. Lots of cleaning. Lots of giggles with Eliyahu. Lots of talking with Joshua. (Yay!) And Yehoshua went to Grandma's for a major protion of the day. What a nice relaxing break.

You'd think I'd have all my great post ideas written up, but alas, I'm still trying to find the time to write about all the things I want to. (So keep checking back for my coming posts about diabetic-friendly recipes, cooking with little ones in the house, cooking ahead, food budget tips, etc...).

Tomorrow is Yehoshua's surgery, at 10:30 am. Thanks for praying, and I will update about it tomorrow, YHWH-willing.

Wednesday or Thursday, Joshua's grandma will be arriving (by car) from Washington. We're so excited!!

It has been really hot here. So I decided to wait to mow the lawn. :) I did finally make it outside to pull the poison ivy out of the flower beds. "Leaves of three, let it be" is a nice saying and all, but I think I let this stuff go a little too long. It was huge and had so many roots and vines, I doubt I got it all. I didn't want Yehoshua to get into it accidentally, though, as it was bushing out along the side of the garage! Yikes! And then, where to put it?! I didn't want to just leave it in the flower beds, or put it in the yard... so I put it on our brush heap in the backyard. I wore plastic bags on my hands to hopefully keep from getting poison ivy on my hands and arms.

And now I must get to bed... 5:30 am comes too early. :)
