I need a sign that says I’M BUSY TRY BACK LATER!!
I find it so funny that any other time, I am non existent to the family until I’m working or on the phone. Anyone else have this problem?
I came outside tonight on the laptop to get some work done. And I’ll be damned if not one but two of the 4 in the house came outside. Hubby wanted to turn the radio on in the truck and asked me if it would bother me. Duh. I told him, it might and then he proceeded to ask me if I came outside to get away from the noise. Nah, I thought I would come outside to see how many mosquito born disease I could pick up to set a new world record. DUH.
Then as my fingers typed vigorously, Jelly Bean comes to the door hunting a battery for her MP3 player. I told her I was busy and to shut the door. But she still inquired about the battery. I chose to ignore her. She finally closed the front door with a huff. I’m sure it’s not the first nor the last huff I have heard from that mouth.
Ya know, sometimes I just want to be by myself. That way if I am outside alone and decide to fart, hey it’s only me and the dogs and they aren’t as talented as Duke on the Bushes baked beans commercials, they aren’t talking.
Oh I hear a plane. Wonder if I can hitch a ride to Oz. Oh I forgot I’m already in the land of munchkin land here. And I can only take so much of the freakin’ Dukes of Hazzard for the umpteenth time. It was good the first time back in the day. And maybe kinda good when reruns first starting airing. But my god, watching the 32 car jump for the 100th time is a little obsessive, don’t cha think?
Yeah buddy, I’m just a barrel of fun aren’t I? If this crazy dog of mine doesn’t stop growling at her own shadow, I’m gonna jerk her tongue out and slap her a couple of times with it. (Don’t get all PETA on me now, I’m joking).
Well shit, there goes my night life, there’s a bug using my coffee for a jacuzzi. Little bugger.
Display it in style
There are times in our lives when we capture someone on camera that we would like to be able to show off. Some times it’s a photo of our kids. Or it could be a picture of a beautiful flower that grows in our gardens. My youngest daughter would love to have a picture of her favorite Alabama football player. I’m not talking about a regular 8×10 hanging on the wall. I’m talking big. Lifesize big.
You can now show off your prize photographs with that extra pizazz. The process is so easy. You take the photo and submit it to Wallhogs and chose the style that you want. Reusable vinyl is just as it says, it’s reusable. You can use it any time, anywhere. So if you have that special Christmas photo that want to hang during the holdiays then this choice would be perfect for you.
Or how about a life size poster? You can have that one of a kind poster of anyone your hearts desire. Go to a concert, take a picture of your favorite star on stage, then use Wallhogs and voila, you have your one of a kind poster. Cool huh. I wished I had known this when I seen Kenny Chesney in concert. I would have his sexy tail by my bedside every day. LOL
With Wallhogs the possibilites are endless. Father’s Day is coming up and this would make the perfect gift for that perfect dad in your life. A life size picture of his children would certainly cheer him up and I can bet there wouldn’t be another out there like it.
These are the days of my life
Right before I dozed off into my naptime slumber, I was thinking back on when I was growing up and how much things had changed. When I was little I had parents that done the parenting. Not kids doing the parenting. I see it so much today, kids telling the parents what to do. My kids however are in the minority. Several of their friends get to do as they please. Come and go to and from wherever they chose. Not my kids. They are not allowed to leave me unless they clear it first. They are not even allowed to cross the road to play with the neighbors unless I know first.
We worked for our privileges. If we wanted to go to the store for candy, we had to earn it. It was never handed out to us. I raise my kids with the same intentions that my parents had. To teach us money doesn’t grow on trees and also the value of a dollar. I am the same way. I am a cheapskate and my kids do chores around the house daily. They don’t complain, they get it done and they will appreciate the values I am instilling in them now, later in life.
We were dirt poor. I know that that sounds like a cliche, but we really were. Our Aunt worked for a thrift store. That’s where my school clothes came from. Hand me downs were a treat when having older cousins. My kids aren’t too proud or too snobby to wear shit from the thrift store. We have found some great deals. But I do splurge every now and then and buy them something hip and expensive.
We had to entertain ourselves. No electronic gadgets to work with. Our imagination. My kids told me the other day that they hated to read. I asked them why. Reading opens the mind to new adventures. It’s not like it was when I was growing up. 4 channels on the tv. Movies were a luxury and the only theater I had ever been too was a drive thru and that was one time. Now tvs have 5,000 channels and yet they still can’t find anything to watch. Amazing.
I could go on and on. I know to some its boring, but it’s just the days of my life.
We are back and I’m pooped
We are back, I ate me a quick bite of lunch and just sat down. I finally started my new anxiety medicine yesterday and I took it this morning and now I’m sleepy. Think I am going to grab Shorty and see if I can coax her into a nice little afternoon nap. I may have to bribe her with Strawberry Cheesecake (from the box, I rarely do homemade).
I got the older kids report cards today. Jelly Bean didn’t do so hot on hers, but it could have been worse. She did miss a lot of days this semester due to her kidneys and knees. Wild Child was on the A-B honor roll again and I got the results from her State Writing Assessment test. She done very well. Out of 8 she scored a high 6. So I’m proud of them both.
You know, when you go to buy a few groceries, you sure as hell don’t get much with $50.00. Feeding a family of 5 is hard. I will be glad when my veggies get to baring so I can eat out of the garden and save some bucks each week. Well I’m off to nap. I shall return!!
Off we go
Busy morning ’round here. I am fixing to go pick up report cards and attempt not to strangle any small child while attempting to drive because of her grades (Jelly Bean). Then we are off to PT again. Then I gotta run to Walmart for some water and something for supper. I shall return, with or without child. LOL.
So we took the kids to the mall for lunch and to get out of the house for a while. We was in there for about 2 hours or so. We get back to the truck and the kids noticed we had an intruder hanging on for dear life trying to get somewhere.
It’s feet or whatever they are called were stuck in the carpet of the door. Hubby freed the little birdie and tried to set it free. It flapped it’s little wings and didn’t get too far. So he went over and picked it up. We brought it home. It’s real tiny so I’m guessing it’s not very old and is very gentle. I believe there is something wrong with it’s right leg as it holds it kinda funny.
So I put it in a little cage we had out back and I’m hoping to mend it back to health. Then we will set our little feathered friend loose and hope it comes back to visit. I still am not for sure how that bird got in my truck. My windows were down last night, but if it rode to town and back it was in for one hell of a ride. Hopefully it’s a city bird that got rescued to the country. I was so afraid it would have been ran over if we left it. We done our good deed for the day. Time for bed now…LOL
Ok, now I have seen this around the net and had a lot of fun kicking Lisa. Sorry Lisa!! Hope you all have fun. Post your high scores in the comment section please!!
There’s nothing quite like living in the south. The air is the kind you can wear and it’s only going to get worse. The temp today is forecasted to be around 90. It would be a nice day to go fishing, but all the fish would be at the bottom of the river. And the snakes are so bad around here. It’s been so dry that they are looking for water. I hope it rains soon. I will stand out in the middle of it if it does.
Look Whose Talkin’
