seeds, seeds and more seeds!

it's that time of year.
the Christmas tree is being taken down today (rockstar hubby's problem), the Christmas lights will be unplugged outside.
and now it's time for spring.

yes, i know spring doesn't start here until er...may. i know it's quite awhile away. but you don't understand! the seed catalogues came. and that's just dangerous. but, and i mean a big but, i'm very careful about what i choose. and that's why it takes me so long to buy them. i have to reorganize, redraw, and relandscape my backyard and front yard about 26 times in my head, and sometimes on paper before i decide.

ideas for today: put up mesh along sunroom walls and let beans grow. and morning glories. and sweet peas.
another tomato box.
another couple of boxes just for heirloom vegetables that i wish to try as the heirloom tomatoes, brandywine, were brilliant. i still can't get over how amazing it tasted.

gaffer issues: nightmares have started again with a vengeance. was called by a good friend and mentor yesterday to be told to read the ottawa citizen. there was an article about kids nightmares. apparently it's extremely rare (3.9%) that kids 5 and under have nightmares. and if they do have them, it's about once a week. and they are never recurring. and if they have them, it's usually due to a traumatic stress.
huh.
well, he's 3. he has them anywhere from once to 6 times per night, per week. it did stop for a week and i thought we had licked it, but nope. and they are recurring. always the same. a fish/turtle/crab/snake in his bed. and no, no stress that i'm aware of.
have prayed. a lot. prayed with him, for him, about him. prayed against evil coming into his room. prayed God would fill his head. had him pray. i've been offered suggestions of having him memorize verses, however given that he doesn't really know all of his alphabet yet, i doubt that's gonna fly. the only advice the paper had was to let him sleep in your bed. are you kidding me?! i can't even imagine the implications of my child ruining my 'bed time' with hubby, to me not being able to sleep at all due to being a very light sleeper.
yes, am thinking the worst. will be contacting doctor on monday and will push for an mri. just in case. blah. i'm not basing on the worst. it could be nothing. probably is nothing. but there is no explanation, and i am suffering from lack of sleep again. not a happy girl.

but i got my seed catalogue...
