Bug a boo is pushing through her top two teeth recently. the one on the left is through and has been for a while, while the one on the right just recently ruptured through and is now beginning to push through. My poor girl is in a lot of discomfort. She drools so much and is so fussy lately. More recently, she's been waking up at night around 11pm, screaming until we pick her up. The only way we can calm her little heart is to hold her and rock. I would rock with her all night long if I could, but this momma needs to get some sleep too. Poor thing. I wish there was more I could do for her aside from tylenol, ibuprofen, teething tablets, and cuddling. She's just miserable. I guess it's all part of growing up. She's such a big girl now! 10 months and learning new things every day. I love her so much and I can't believe she'll be 1 year old in two months. time truly does go by too fast! Anyway...
I've been working on planting new plants underneath the row of pine trees at the edge of our yard. I'm sick of looking at all the dead pine needles, so I've planted some "snow on the mountain" as a ground cover. I added some pops of color with some impatiens and last night i started splitting and transplanting hostas to edge out the area. It's going to look nice when I'm done, but it's a lot of work. I really enjoy it though. I like seeing the plants thrive and grow in their new home knowing I planted them there and am taking care of them so they can live. It's different than caring for cats and a tiny human. It's cathartic. It's relaxing. It's just what I need these days. Life gets so busy with the wants and needs of others and I'm happy to serve them and be the love and support they need, but on occasion I'd like to take some time for me. If I don't look out for my wants and needs, who will? Planting a garden has been good therapy. I'm thankful I have been able to do it.
Ok, that's all for now. I don't have much else to say. I hope you are all well and I can't wait to see you again soon! xo - M

Before and after pics??? Have fun with your gardening, one of my favorite things to do when it's not winter. Give Abigail a smooch for Auntie AJ
Yes, a pic! That's fun that you're doing that. I'm working on getting my grass healthier and maybe someday I'll get more into planting! Way to take some time for something you like to do! Love you.
I remember when you and your brother were little I used to go to exercise class while your daddy would watch you two. It was my time away. A great rejuvinater. I love gardening now too! Gives you time to think and breathe, and relax. Glad you are taking the time. Do it a little more often.
