I guess my plants were happy. My Aloe has spread out and has two new shoots, the Chamomile has a huge shoot coming up, and the strawberries have TRIPLED in height!!!

I must be doing something right :P

I awoke this morning to find that nasty sluggies had found my ladies and had begun to enjoy devouring their leaves. This had to be stopped.

I didn't want to use chemicals, so I went and bought some lava rocks to keep them nasties at bay. While I was there I also found an aloe plant and (gasp) a stevia plant! So my gathering of children grows, and I have more work (and talking) to do.

I've decided to plant the sprouted onions in pots and place them between my mother's rose bushes. They won't produce bulbs, but will flower, and help keep buggies at bay.

I feel productive, time for me to sleep.

I've now resorted to aromatherapy, tea, knitting, crocheting, AND gardening.

Last night my mom said a few things that set me so on edge, I HAD to leave, even though it was nearly 9pm. I wanted so bad to punch her in the face, so I turned it around and went to get some plants. It'll be therapeutic, I'll be able to grow my own herbs, and the plants will enjoy my ranting and raving, and loving on them.

I've planted chives, garlic chives, and spearmint seeds, and bought already sprouted lavender, Texas tarragon, and generic sage.

I'm hoping this helps me cope for the last week.

I'm just sick and tired of having to deal with my past constantly... I really don't know what to do, because all I want to do is cry and let it all out...

I just don't know to who.
