The Mother Has Landed

In theory, at least; I haven't talked to her yet.

On the agenda between now (well, 4:30 today) and her departure on Sunday am:
Garden shopping
-cow manure
-deadly poison to kill poison ivy very very dead
-new gardening gloves for ditto and general avoidance of future poison ivy
-possibly some shade annuals for back veggie bed as it's really too shady to grow veg once the trees leaf out

Garden work
-kill kill kill poison ivy
-mulch main veg bed
-pick peas; if they are done, pull them out and plant canteloupes
-plant sunflowers
-turn manure into back garden bed and plant annuals, if bought
-general trimming of things

Baby prep
-find missing boxes (it's not just the monkey Robees; I realized I have no burp cloths, and I know I have approximately 400,000 burp cloths
-discuss what girl clothes to keep, what to give away to friends, what to consign/sell

Thrift/consignment shop
-bags of stuff to goodwill/baby consignment shop
-look for double stroller
-look for fun things to buy cheap

Quilting
-discuss design of armadillo's quilt
-possible trip to fabric store

Fun
-have some

Criticism of parenting and specifically potty training and bed and mealtime discipline
-head off to extent possible

I'm really happy she's here; we play together well. (I have tomorrow off and we're sending Casper to school anyway so we can play; bad mommy!) But forewarned is forearmed.
