My goal of writing everyday here is not doing so hot. In my defense, there has been a lot going on. I am making good progress on housework despite the messes that the kids make behind me as I work. It is a bit easier since they have computers to spend their time on instead of toy cars all over the living room. Those caltrops with wheels are hazardous if you don't carefully watch where you are stepping.
I have found the desk, a good portion of the living room floor, and about a third of the kitchen table. Spring cleaning is a thing happening here. I haven't gone out and pulled weeds out of the garden but there are no weeds growing yet. I have been thinking about it, though. Once they start sprouting up, I am going to pull up all the tiny oregano plants that took over last year. I haven't decided what I am going to replace that with yet, but the oregano has to go. It's taken over the flower bed and started colonizing the lawn as of last fall.
I forgot that oregano is related to mint. Those plants spread fast and thick. The neighbors thought I was weird when I asked the landscaper to run his weedwacker over the oregano. Everything smelled like pizza for a bit but it wasn't everywhere. I think the real reason why they thought I was weird was the fact that I cheered with joy because the weedwacker was doing some of the work for me. The landscaper got a good laugh out of my antics that day.
