Anyway, we are heading down to see my Mom, brother and Step-Father-ish (long story). I have a ton of stuff to do today to prepare for the drive and mostly to prepare the house before I go. My dh will be here, but he wont tend the plants and animals the way I do so I want to set it all up so it is easy for him to do, and so I dont come home to a dead garden. Darn I wish I had gotten that driptape!!! I also want to come home to a clean house, so in order for that to happen I need to leave it a bit cleaner than I hope it will be when I get home. We have lessons next week so I want to come home and not have a ton of work to do on Sunday night to prepare for Monday. We'll see!
So today I need to...
- Prepare the Garden
- Get a larger feed thing for the chickens and another water thing
- Get a mouse for the snake, and crickets for the frog (who isnt looking so good)
- Put the terra-cotta pot plants in a tub of water so they can stay alive
- Type up instructions for dh for the garden, plants and animals while we are gone
- Clean the house
- Load the car so I can reach everything the kids may need while driving
- Update my iPod
- Grandma's for dinner
- Coop for road trip snacks and breakfast yummies
- Fill the truck with gas
So Im a busy bee today, blissful maybe, but busy for sure!!!
Did I mention it will be about 104 degrees in Tucson? At least now Im a big girl who has a car with AC!!! That is satifying in returning to the desert!!

What a small world! I spent my formative years in Tucson... school, college, marriage, the whole bit. We love the Sonoran desert. Have a great trip!
Hi
I have just found you blog through Mothering re Enki. Really enjoying reading it, hope you have a lovely vacation xx
Thanks guys! We had a great time! I even found time to drive by a few houses I lived in there. I moved a LOT when I first moved away from family. the campus looks amazing and the town has invested soooo much in beautification, it is just amazing to see how it has changed. I love it there. I feel so at home.
Sara, when did you go to the UofA and what did you study?? Anthropology and African Art for me from 93-96
Oh, I went from 90-92, liberal arts. It seems like ages ago. I still have family in town, so we go back periodically too. It's the drive between Tucson and Phoenix that gets me. I wonder how long it will be before they really seem connected.
I was at Pima during that time! LOL Did you go to high school out there too?
I went to CDO for the second half of tenth grade and then I dropped out of high school and went to Pima instead.
Funny, I went to UHS and Palo Verde. What a smart thing to do, dropping out and getting on with life! I wouldn't relive those high school years for anything. ;-)
