My House Smells Like Dirt

No, really, it does…it’s overwhelming as my overabundance of seedlings get re-potted and wait and wait for our last frost, to be planted in the garden. I honestly never expected all of the seeds I planted to take…like ALL of them. Oops! Probably because I had no clue I had a green thumb. Our dining room is over-crowded.

I’ve been giving away my seedlings here and there and I can’t help but be a little sad to see them go. Months of nurturing and a part of me feels badly for giving them to friends and family…it’s like setting your children off into the world on their own. How sad is that, that I am so attached to these little babies?

This weekend was goodness and yesterday we celebrated Mother’s Day. I was just happy to be with family and enjoy the day. I hated to see Monday come.

I have no clue what this week will bring…endless possibilities. I’ve been slacking on my exercising for sure. The last time I exercised was three weeks ago. Not good. I went for a run in the rain while Mr. Magoo was on vacation. It felt good…I didn’t even make a mile, but I tried again, I really want to be able to do it…but there was an issue. My knees. They are not made for running. I don’t know what I did, but the whole inside of both of my knees were hurting so badly it was painful to walk down stairs. Runner’s knee? Perhaps. But I decided then and there I don’t want to risk knee injury and don’t think I will run again. Between ACL surgeries and Rheumatoid Arthritis in my family, I think I can do without running.

I will say though, that I realized my age at this point and the fact that two consecutive pregnancies really took it’s toll on my body. It’s going to take a lot of work to get my body back where it was or even close to what it was, physically. Hopefully I’ll get there slowly.

Hope you all have a great Monday!
