So, This is June?

I thought it was supposed to be WARM in June. Not that I am complaining about this 60-ish degree weather, but it is weird wearing a turtleneck to work on June 3rd. AND a light jacket. So very weird.

Gwen has been potty trained for 1 month now. We have had a couple accidents, and a full week of her trying to hold #2, but she got over it. It was actually a little bit amusing this week when Gwen accidentally wet her bed and claimed that she did NOT wet her bed, but was actually just very sweaty. Sure...whatever....I am just so thankful to not be buying diapers, I didn't care that it was 5 a.m. on a work day. We truly thought we would be investing in Depends this summer, so again, a little super early morning accident is nothing...I hope she can handle camping on an island with only outhouses or the great outdoors as her toilet. We shall see....

The last two months at work whipped by while we submitted grant proposal after grant proposal...now to cross our fingers and toes and get them all funded!!! (Or at least SOME of them, but I am aiming high--I want them all funded!!!)

Hawksbill starts another new job next week--so he will have 3 part-time jobs total (gotta love this recession!!) I am thankful to be working only 1 full time job right now rather than 2 or more part-time jobs, but our schedules are still kind of a pain. So, I will just say I am happy neither of us have to work on the weekends!!!

Hawksbill and I have started using our rowing machine again...I love this thing, although I am taking an unplanned day off today due to a major headache.

We planted our flower/vegetable garden in the front yard this year. I don't know how it is going to do with this weather...I do not see anything sprouting up yet after a week of sun and water, but we also live in a land filled with bunnies, so they might be eating anything that may have come up...again, we shall see. We only planted cucumbers, zuccini, and carrots (plus another attempt at sunflowers). I saw a lot of sunflower seeds dug up and split open, so I think the squirrels were eating the garden, too. Oh, well...

I would love to report something more interesting, but dull can be good, too. Until next time...I hope it warms up a little.
