This week has been interesting for many ways. My daughter starts a new tae kwon do class on Thursday; the new place seems to have more to offer her. They have a patch program a lot like girl scouts and more girls her age. She’s been doing tae kwon do for a little over 1 year. She’s still an orange belt and will be able to test out in 8 weeks. She’s got a new tae kwon do uniform that ties like a chef outfit, instead of pulling over her head. It’s hard to believe that summer is half way through.
My garden is coming along. I keep forgetting to get some pictures- (reminder to self get pictures). We had to transplant the tomatoes to a bigger pot because they were root bound. They now look a lot better in their new beautiful pots. My cucumber is busy climbing up the railing of the porch and looks good with its beautiful yellow flowers and creeping out like crazy. The green peppers are producing some beautiful big peppers. The red ones haven’t turned red yet. The tomatoes are still small and green, can’t wait to taste one.
I seem to be in a lupus flare, again! It seems to knock me on my butt real well. I can be feeling pretty good and wham it knocks me out. I’m trying to conserve my energy. I hate feeling this way… I want my “normal” life back

Hey Chickee,
That’s cool that your daughter is starting Tae Kwon Do. I wished I would have put my kids into some sort of martial art when they were small. The patience and self-discipline they learn is invaluable.
I’m sorry that you are flaring, I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery so that you are able to enjoy that garden and get some great shots of it. Flaring sucks, this I know. I’ve been sick for the last few months, don’t even have half the energy I need to blog
Hugs,
Michelle

I have put you on my blogroll… you are currently they only one on it… keep up the good work.. and hope your flare is short and sweet.
