Today I came up with an idea! I want to grow me some vegetables. So I am planning to buy a plot that supports my wallet. Well at least I think its an awesome idea. So here is my story on how I came about the whole idea... My daughter had a seizure after her first day of school. This is very strange, because I am not epileptic, or have had any known seizures in my past. At least, nooone informed me of any. I really don't know if anyone on her father's side was prone to seizures and I found out that it is ironically normal sometimes for children to take one seizure and that sometimes one is all they have. ( Sometimes I wonder if the seizure thing has anything to do with problems later in life, but I am no scientist and so it is what it is) This was her first seizure so it scared me and I learned somethinf from it all. The doctor told me I have to worry when it becomes more than one within 6 months bacause, after so many seizures, if can increase the chance by a certain percentage . . Im not looking for a miracle at the moment, just a reason, and it makes me mad that they dont have one. I took my daughter to the IWK today, for a neurology appointment where they stuck about 30 or 40 little wires connected to gold tips, to her head and to find out why she had a seizure. So here is where my Garden Idea begins... A community garden? We picked so many " nibble" leaves and berries, that I was getting tired of eating them lol. My father somewhere amongst us was getting irrated waiting for us but I confess!! I lied to him and told him the hospital staff gave me the wrong directions to get the the other emergency exit. It worked but I feel bad. He was waiting half an hour. | On our way home I got the bright idea to change my mind and find a phone where I could call my father and have him pick us up. I have always hated the bus, and ironically it was the same time he was getting off work. I chose to go in the direction of the QEII to use their payphone and while we are waiting, my daughter decides she wants to go check out the garden they have on the property where the old school used to sit. Now, as much as I don't have much time to do things on a regular basis, I am thinking of teaming up with my energetic daughter and doing a community garden plot where she can plant half of what she wants to grow, and in the other half of the plot I can plant what I want. and as funny as it seems, use symbols instead of words.. so a happy face can be a sunflower, a Green thumb can be the mint plant. A crazy squiggle can be a tomato vine, and so on. The point is, I don't have a point, but just the idea of buying a garden plot and growing some healthy, non poisonous vegetables free of pesticides, and be proud of it, also make is a mom and me thing. :) The thing that gets me is not many people do it, and it's a good thing that we could use more of., Healthy food, easy on the wallet and, just a little patience to allow something grow. I'd be doing someone a huge favor, if we grow more than we need. I would be donating some of the extras to local food banks, or even the homeless who you always see begging for money or holding up the sign saying "Broke and Hungry" The sad thing about the homeless is they fight over territory when they pan handle for money. I've seen it this summer... (Maybe I will make that another blog entry.) |

So I became a little careless
I realized its not who I am I myself prefer to be surrounded By my loved ones, and my friends. I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings because I know how it feels to hurt and be pushed to the limits Of forgetting your worth. I am who I have always been with subtle improvement day by day and no matter what I will always be me no matter what road I take. So go ahead and judge me but I don't have a reflective trait I don't like to judge someone on who they are we all tend to make mistakes |
