Tomorrow is the start of a three-day weekend! Yay! We were gonna go to my MIL's place in WI, but decided that it was too close to my surgery and needed to stay home to get a bunch of things done. I need to finish painting my kitchen cupboards white, we need to clean out the garage, and I need to organize our closets. Hopefully the weather cooperates and I don't turn in to a lazy blob!
Tomorrow also happens to be my 31st birthday. Birthdays used to be exciting. Now every year is just another reminder of what I don't have and the fact that I'm closer to 35 (advanced maternal age!). Hopefully I'll be pregnant by my next birthday.
And I leave you with some recent pictures of my garden. Things are really starting to grow!!
A night shot!
Sugar Snap Peas
Tomatoes are getting bigger! (marigolds in the back on the left)
This box has celery, carrots, beans and peas. Broccoli will go in once it's a little bigger.
This box has corn, cucumbers, radishes, spinach and will have zucchini.
This box has sweet mesclun mix, eggplant, tomatoes and sweet banana peppers. More tomatoes will be added.
This box has carrots, green onions, yellow onions, poblano pepper and will have tomatoes and pepper plants.
I added the little wire fences with mesh tulle that I bought at the fabric store to keep birds from eating the veggies and seeds, as well as keeping all the leaves and things falling off the trees out. I just have to sweep the stuff off, rather than pick it out of the dirt. I think I will be removing them sometime soon as I will need to add tomato and pepper supports as well as trellis' for the cucumbers.

I'm anxious to hear how your surgery goes, good luck! I know what you mean about birthdays, mine is next week and even though I'm only turning 26 I feel like one of those women who lie about their age or deny birthdays. I hate getting older because to me its another good parenting year gone and a reminder that my arms are still empty. "Maybe I'll be pg next year" is so frustrating when every year I say that and then all of a sudden its my birthday again and I'm not pg. I don't want to be an old parent, I don't want to have my retirement party the same time as my kid's graduation party. But unfortunately I don't seem to have the luxury of a choice like everyone else. Your blog title says it all, "Infertility Sucks!".
