Salvia Blue Bedder...maybe you can help me...
Comments (2)Seedlngs tend to flower later in the year than established plants. You can get blooms off of a smaller plant if a cutting has been taken where the tip is about to bloom. Most nurserymen pinch these heads off to divert growing energy into the root system though. Flower heads sap a lot of the plants energy. If you root the cutting just before the flower head becomes visible, you can usually get away with it, especially with fast-growing tropical sages....See MoreMaybe it is just me, but....................
Comments (30)I thought it might do well with chicken-apple sausage instead of kielbasa. I was wrong. Regarding the honey, the little bit drizzled on was just to add a touch of sweetness; it's not like the recipe was for potatos glazed with honey. That piece wasn't offensive at all. It was just an uninspired mix of food. Maybe the sausage substitution wasn't a good idea? Dunno, but I won't bother to try it again the "right" way. And if there were to be a next time (there won't) I'd peel the apples....See Morefeeling down and maybe selfish someone set me straight
Comments (4)Momof4, I'm so sorry you had to miss today. I can understand how it feels as if the weight of the world can be squarely on your shoulders and you can't get relief even for the most important things. I am the primary bread winner in our family, and have the job with more demand of my time. Thus, when the kids are sick it is generally much easier for DH to take the day off. Usually the kids don't care, but there have been days when they want to know why mommy can't stay home with them and cry when I leave. I spend that day at work hating my job, my clients, and the fact that I can't jeopardize my employment or my family is sunk. I have found myself resenting my husband because when he wants to go home, he goes home. When he doesn't feel good, he stays home. Really, is this his 'fault', or just a 'perk' of his job and a downside to mine that I don't have that ability? Serenity is right - the anger really isn't with DH or even BM, it's with the whole situation. It's just easier to blame a person than life. Take a couple hours this weekend, go out to ice cream with just you and the kids and have your time. Have them each write down their favorite moment now so they don't forget and then share it with you. Better yet, if DH took pictures have them go through them all and explain what happened. It won't make up for missing it, but it might make the bitter pill easier to swallow. Hugs to you....See More5 year old *step daughter* doesn't like me....
Comments (23)I am not being used as a chauffer or babysitter. I offered... it was my decision. I saw it as helping the two of them see each other more often. But I guess then I didn't realize the harm that it could be doing. As for mom, she is kind of a strange parent. It seems as though a lot of you women have a strong maternal instinct and wouldn't even let your DD SM pick your daughters up. However, BM has asked if I could pick up her daughter (we meet in the middle of our houses) because it was more convenient for her to drop her off at that time. If we don't accommodate her schedule she often tells us then she won't be able to drop her off at all. She's never around to receive her daughter either. Most of the time dad brings her with her grandparents because mom isn't around. This weekend was a perfect example. Mom told us she would receive her daugther at 6pm on Sunday. She called and told my BF that she left town and wouldn't be able to pick her up until Monday sometime, and that either she would pick her up with dad at his work or mine. HAH. So dad didn't go to work in the morning because mom decided she had better things to do than pick up her daughter, and he ended up bringing his daughter to her grandparents because mom wasn't answering her phone. Sometimes she leaves to the beach for the weekend and decides not to come back until Wednesday, leaving her daughter with her parents, and no one to bring her to school. Not very motherly if you ask me. As for our relationship, it's fine. I am not getting involved in baby momma drama... we see each other, say hello, everything's cordial, then we talk about the girl, say goodbye no name calling as far as I know etc. I never say a bad word about her mother to anyone.. ever. As for my bf we met 11 years ago in the US. I came here to Mexico to be with him a year ago. Maybe I use the term soulmate in a way you don't understand. I know I could find someone else if I wanted to. I don't. I'm here to stay with this man and this girl. We may not be married but we are committed to each other as if we were. We are talking marriage... and it will happen some day. What else... oh to answer a question dad and mom divorced when daughter was 2.5. Sooo... 1 year and half before I showed up into the picture. Their relationship sounds like it was verbally and emotionally abusive, probably from both parts but she also sounds like she was physically abusive towards him... but never to their daughter. Dad never had a serious girlfriend after that before me. I don't think dad ever introduced any women to his daughter before me either. But I don't know that for sure. As for the bed thing, I know. Dad and daughter used to sleep in the same bed before I arrived. I think it's weird. So when I came into the picture and she was over on the weekends, dad had daughter sleep in the same bed as us. I put a quick stop to that. NOT OK. I expressed to him that it's uncomfortable and he talked with her, though I don't think he really understands why it's a problem. He sometimes asks if she can sleep with us still... I don't understand why. As for this weekend little girl was throwing up and had a bad temperature in the middle of the night so she came into the bed in the early morning so dad could keep an eye on her. I didn't think it was inappropriate in that case. I don't want to be an in your face sm. I honestly feel like dad is trying to force the situation and really I was over doing the favors just to try and get to know the girl and make it easier for them to see each other... to be nice. I know that I need to back off now. Anyways I left and did my own thing on Saturday and part of Sunday and when I came back things were much nicer. I think the girl does like me when she wants to see me, but I was around too often and intruding on daddy daughter time. Today she was very talkative to me, sweet... gave me a little kiss goodbye and they left. I think I found my answer. I agree with the playing house thing being a rush, I'm not moving out now... so I have to find other ways to fix this. To answer someone's question it is not the house of his previous relationship... and when I say house I mean apartment.. a small one. I think it's kind of hard to stay out of each others business when we are all there... leaving is probably necessary to give them proper alone time....See MoreHU-685485614
