As an over-educated stay-at-home mom, I of course figured I would grow my own produce and live off the land. What a delightfully socially responsible way to save money and encourage a sustainable lifestyle! The above photo is my theoretical garden. I mean I would look great in that hat, right? Below the delicious, organically gown produce my son and I would harvest in the beautiful summer sun...

My current reality?
Garden plots full of weeds. FYI weeding is 1) HOT 2) HARD WORK and weeds GROW BACK! My fantasy involved a montage of weeding that lasted about 2 minutes set to Simon & Garfunkle or maybe Joni Mitchell and then BOOM- GARDEN! "Phew that was hard work, but so worth it because look at this beautiful garden.." The weeds did not grow back in my montage. Also my montage was a lot less boring than the actual f'ing weeding. Also, look...
My one and only Basil plant is already dying after 4 days and one pasta recipe.
Sometimes Reality blows.
