Saturday...Self-reflection

 Good morning, it's currently Saturday.

Weather...63* and cloudy at nearly 8 am. We had pouring rain all afternoon yesterday and well into the night, we sure needed it. So, onward to the post, hang on...it might get bumpy.

~~Self-Reflection~~

The other day...as mentioned, I and the other Ms. C. were ordered down to another teacher's classroom. Now, let me say, when I was in the education program in college/univ. the idea of observation was just that, o-b-s-e-r-v-e and I even had that clarified before I/we went down there. According to the dictionary the word observe is a verb:

Observe- notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant. Watch carefully and attentively.

Well, it didn't go as plan. I/we were ordered there at 6:30, she strolled in closer to 7, I/we greeted her and asked some questions, she chose to ignore me/us. Fine. Then she started screeching at the students and remained that way--I had to leave at 9 due to the use of bleach--the portable was being cleaned inside and out. Ms. C. and I were called into the bosses' office yesterday...yeah, you can imagine how that went, right? Lo and behold, she-the other teacher did lie and tell tales, and she said I was very unprofessional and need not be teaching--mind you, we didn't say a word. ANYWAYS, Thursday is another departmental meeting and the "band aid" is going to be ripped off...who survives and who doesn't, who knows. The bossman said I better be prepared as this other teacher is gunning for me. This cancer is growing and growing...and where it ends, no one knows.

Putting myself in... timeout. Why? Because sometimes one just needs to be put in timeout. 

I somehow...have forgotten whose daughter I am and that hit me hard. Ouch, the good Lord hit me hard on that one. And I am full of shame...sitting there listening to that person screech and yell...it came roaring in loud and clear. Full of shame, because I realized I was that person. ☹️

The husband...bless his soul...fully understood what I said. 

NO adventures today...I am not pants less either, I do have sleep shorts on, TMI. We are staying in today, looks like rain all day. 

Wishing you all a beautiful day, and thanks for reading.

Sliding into the Hodgepodge on a Thursday...

 Good morning...another busy day...I have to be at work by 6:30. More on that (maybe not) on a later post-or not.

1. America celebrates turning 250 years old this year. Primary cities set to lead the celebrations on July 4th are Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington D.C. Other significant locations for celebrating will be Charleston SC and the 'historic triangle' which includes Jamestown-Williamsburg-Yorktown Virginia. 

Of the cities listed how many have you seen in person? All of them. Of the cities listed which would you most like to visit this year? Not going to visit any...although I would like to return to Boston. Any plans to do so? Nope. Finances. Just saying. What's one place in America you think everyone should, see? Gettysburg and Arlington.

2. Three sounds you love to hear? 

Children laughing and playing

The National Anthem

Amazing Grace

3. Three sounds you hate to hear? 

People who screech at me (been getting a lot of that this week)

Anger/bad words (been getting that a lot of that this week)

The security gates at work--SLAM, Buzz, slam

4. February 24th is/was National Tortilla Chip Day. Are you a fan? Yum With salsa, guacamole, queso, or just plain please? No guaco please, ick. Do you like nachos? Yep With what on top? Everything but guaco, ick. lol Is there anything (besides nachos) you make that calls for tortilla chips? hmm...an acholic beverage.

5. We March into March with next week's Hodgepodge...what's one thing on your March calendar that makes you smile?

Birthdays (Hubbys, mine and our late sons)

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I have to run but let me just say...I am just plain tired of dealing with politics at work. Way too much to complain talk about...and not enough time. I was ordered down to see another teacher this morning and the comment was made, "Since she is from the public school system, perhaps you could learn a thing or two." Hmm...well, glory me. I swear to you, he has me mixed up with my coworker who was also ordered down there. He did mention something about a goose and gander. Whatever.

Have a great day all.

Tuesday Meme...

 Good morning from a very cold Florida (30*).  After having near 90's last week, today is just plain cold--well yesterday was too.

It's time for the Tuesday Meme.

1. Where do you like to buy your groceries Publix, Aldi, Walmart, wherever hubby pulls in, LOL. and do you buy by the day, week or month? Usually, weekly...sometimes biweekly. It just depends.

2. What foods would we always find in your kitchen? Pasta, variety of hamburger, chicken, sometimes steak. Snack items like chips and cookies. 

3.Do you buy anything online and if so what kinds of things are you most likely to buy there? Just his mushroom coffee, because it's cheaper. No other food items.

4. Do you shop with a list on paper, on your phone or do you just shop without a list and maybe come home with things you never planned to buy? Always a handwritten list, hubby keeps a list going throughout the week. Of course, items just happen to jump in the cart. 😉

barely...sigh. Our weekly Wednesday teacher meeting was moved to Monday(s) now. And that caused some issues and not to mention my classes run from 7-10 am and then again 11-2. The latter was changed from 12-3 due to the overabundance of other classes--and no space for those classes...and it has caused some issues, such as I no longer get a break or lesson planning--because that hour in between is used for consulting with inmates. Whoever thought that was a good idea, never really thought it through. plus, we had 16 weeks to get through 10 months of teaching, now it has been changed to 8 weeks for the GED requirement. Ok, that's all I have for this morning. Wishing you all a beautiful day.

Sunday...the Money Pit

 Good morning...can you believe it's Sunday, already?

Weather...69* and cloudy. Under several warnings and warnings: Red Flag, Fire Weather, and Freeze Warning. Only in Florida where you get three warnings/watches. From heavy winds to a fire watch and freeze, all in one day. 

The Money Pit...continues. Long story short, a critter ate some piping from the water tank that was NOT PVC, so another trip to Home Depot and $200 later--$200 for PVC, yep...thank you tariffs because it's a product from China. Ridiculous. But you didn't ask, so I'll refrain further. The issue will be fixed tomorrow--and it has to be fixed because there is a leak, under the house. Yeah, never mind. OH, did I mention, that will be another $300 for labor?

which means hubby was spitting mad all day long. How much for PVC? Crazy.

Which means...the paint job will have to wait. Because I/we simply can't afford two things at once. Have you seen the price of paint? One has to wonder about depending on another country so much. Wait, you didn't ask for my opinion. 🙄

Listening to...the birds outside and Ms. LilyBelle whining. She's mad because it has been raining AND both back / side gates are shut due to having the pipe/water issues. She can only stay in the front yard and that has made her mad because she can't run the whole yard.

Need to do today...

Regardless of the issues going on, I need to get some semblance of organization back in the kitchen and cook a decent meal today. I hate doing double the work, but this is crazy --I simply cannot live out of boxes...yes, I know it's only been 4 days.

I also need to do laundry and iron. 

I also need to color my hair.

I also need to lesson plan.

Thinking...with the rising cost of items, wouldn't it just be better to rent and not have to worry about home ownership and all the things that entails. On that note, we were watching something yesterday on Key West aka the Conch Republic. You want to talk about rising cost...sigh. I also hate to see hurricane season this year...our home insurance has gone up...yeah, never mind, another you really don't want my opinion of the cost of everything. I know, the cost of owning a home in hurricane / paradise land.

Watched...from You Tube:

Inside the Real Key West

Ruth Aisling: 48 Hours Inside Scotland's Smallest City

Kirsten and Joerg

$80 million dollar house in Delray Beach, FL

Gosh, I need to get a life. LOL

Word Games: from Sunday Stealing

Biscuit-warm, fluffy buttermilk biscuits with butter or honey that melt in your mouth.

Crayon-Crayola's

Warmth-on a sunny warm day at the beach or under a duvet.

Flip-Flops

Slush-fund Lolo 😂 

Wing-Buffalo LOL--Do buffalos have wings? LOLOLOL

Candle- Yankee Candle-Beach Walk

Cinnamon-toast

P.S. If you get around to watching the video from Key West, just my opinion, if you ever get to Key West-stay out of the tourist traps---well, even anywhere in Florida, stay out of the tourist traps, go see the real Florida, drive the backroads, talk to people etc. That video is the real Key West, one that I long for...simple living, making ends meet, not having a care in the world. How those folks do it, is beyond me...the cost of rent and taxes down there, crazy. But who doesn't want the island life and live like a pirate? Just saying...if I could figure out a way to do that and or have some talent, I would quit the rat race and live simple. Just prop me up on the beach, I'll be ok.🌴🤣😉🏄

Yep...even in Central Florida.

Wishing you all a beautiful day.

Currently...Progress

 Good morning. I hope this post finds each of you in great spirits.

Weather-64* and very foggy. Expecting a 50% of rain and temps near 90 today. Yes, its humid...no worries, Monday and Tuesdays high will only be like 50*. Yep, read that right. Rollercoaster ride, tis is spring.

Apologies- for not posting yesterday and / or getting caught up on blogs. Honestly, between having to work a 40 hr. a week job and this remodel, I am tired. NOT that I am actually doing any work for the remodel, just living in a construction zone...lol.

Progress-Before and after...much progress has been made after my last post.

before

So, many decisions have been made...return of cupboards/cabinets, using old ones/retro fitting, paint, flooring etc.

Still have to paint the whole kitchen, cabinets, move lights, organize, take the window film off the window, doorknobs, pulls etc. Paint selection was picked, a soft gray for the walls and white for the cabinets. I might have snapped at hubby--because honestly, I haven't even thought of knobs/pulls...sigh.

Because of-the electrical issue and having to knock down that whole kitchen wall and the very fact the humidity in the house is so high, even with the central ac on, the drywall is still wet, and so paint will have to wait until next week or so, to let it all dry. We are looking to invest in a whole house humidifier. Why?

so says my clock.

the humidity...yep, living in Florida even indoors the humidity is something else. 66* in the house and 60% humidity.

So-we continue to live in chaos for a bit longer.

The dining room--where we need to take the items on the right that are piled high to the thrift store. The other day, I couldn't even get in there--progress has been made to clean up--we still have boxes and boxes of stuff that need to be put away. Of course, we will have to wait because the cabinets and the kitchen needed to be painted.

All in all--we are happy with the progress. Since hubby has been helping, it knocked the cost way down. I haven't showed the pile that needs to be taken to the dump. We are under a no burn ban here.

One last thing--and I am so guilty of this...distracted driving. I realized this yesterday...unfortunately I came upon an accident on the way home.

a pick-up truck was pulling a trailer, and it overcorrected. Twisted metal and the fire crews working frantically to get the driver/ passengers(?) out. And while sitting there waiting for them to allow us drivers to pass, I got to thinking, how many times do I drive home and not really thinking? Seriously, how many times do I drive home and not realize how I got home. It was sort of surreal. 

I'll leave you with that thought...scary as it is. 

 Wishing you a lovely day.

Thankful Thursday

 Good morning, another warm day on tap...according to the Weather Channel, it won't be warm next week, lol

So... this is what happens when you are remodeling a 20-year-old kitchen and when you're knocking down a 1/2 wall, it turns into a much bigger project and lives wires that were touching. My husband, "Linda, remember you kept saying you smelled something burning?" Yeah....well...yeah. Shoddy work by the previous owner(s).

That was a $250 fix. Bit into the contingency. Thankful the house didn't burn down. That's all I have on this Thursday. No classes today as its teacher workday/meetings. JMO, but it is a waste of time for that. 😉

Have a great day all.

P.S. Myra, the header I used PicMonkey and various photos from around the web. I can't rightly remember what font it is and yes, that includes lunch. Which, btw, what is that? sigh

Hodgepodging into Wednesday

 Good morning, I hope this post finds each of you in wonderful spirits.

1. The Hodgepodge lands on Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Do you mark this season in some way? Will you be giving something up or adding something to your life in this Lenten season? 

Ok, truthfully, I had not realized it was Mardi Gras or even the Lenten Season. Shameful on my part. Giving up the old kitchen and the design/color scheme is all in my head, and that has hubby worried. LOL

2. Pancakes...are you a fan?Yep. Syrup or no syrup? Syrup, please. Plain, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or some other add in? Usually plain, but I do like blueberries and chocolate chips. Are pancakes on your menu this week? Hmm...I usually microwave a couple frozen pancakes in the morning before leaving for work. However, since I am living in a construction zone, right now, it's Asiago Bagels this week.

got the sink moved and pantry put in. Still a lot of work to be done, 2 more cabinets, and the flooring needs to be fixed, paint, microwave installed, electric etc..

 

3. Tell us about a time recently when you felt 'spread too thin'. Every.single.day...well...since being in this other position for 3 weeks now, not so much anymore. However, I only get 2 hours between classes to do paperwork and lesson plans, consult with students etc...so, yes, spread thin that way. 

4. What's your favorite jewel or gemstone? Aquamarine, which is my birthstone and the majority of my jewelry is of that stone. 

In terms of your wardrobe would we find more gem stones, pastels, black and white, or primary colors? Gem and unfortunately, black pants/slacks (usually because technically it's still winter, come summer it will be colorful slacks and white blouses or matching colors to the slacks).

5. What responsibility do you think is hardest about being in charge? Just being responsible and making hard choices and finding that balance.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Monday we picked up the cabinets and the one had to be delivered.

The pantry barely fit in his truck.

mine fit 2 cabinets

So, the remodel has begun. Yes, I know, I posted out of order. lol

Tuesday Meme-Sports

 Welcome to Tuesday 4 friends!  I am always so happy to have people come and take part.

The Olympics are taking place, and we just had the Super Bowl for American football so perhaps we can talk about sports a bit.  Thank you to Diana of Doodles and Daydreams for suggesting sports as a subject for this week! So, let's think about sports this week...

1. Do you enjoy any of the sports from the Olympics either Summer or Winter? Would you tell us about it? I like figure skating and bobsledding but have not watched any of it. None, zip, zero and have no interest in it. All this political nonsense is a turn off for me personally. I have no idea how many medals the USA has or nothing. 

2. What sports have you taken part in and what good did you get out of participating? Believe it or not, I played Basketball, tennis, track/cross country and powderpuff football in high school. Did sports help you in life? No, not really.

3. Is there a sport you still engage in Nope or one you enjoy watching a lot? college football

4. Have you any favorite teams you cheer on? Or perhaps a favorite sports figure? How about both??

I engage with college football...

and

Here is a bonus question for this week:

What's the most memorable comeback or turnaround you've ever seen in a sports game, and what made it so special? I am sure there are many...just can't think of it right now. We love college football and those fall months on Saturdays are pretty full of watching tv.

P.S.

delivered.

...and the remodel begins today. We picked up the cabinets yesterday and had one delivered. It just wouldn't fit any either of our trucks. Do you know how many shades of white there are? I think I will let the "guy" figure it out. LOL

Monday...

 Good morning 

Exactly. Hmm...what to say?

Weather? 61* and a sloppy mess outside. It rained poured stormed last night for like 3 hours straight. Not complaining, as we sure needed it. It was nice to hear thunder and the lightening, of course was also something else.

Doing...drinking my first cup of coffee and waiting for the contractor. He will be around sometime this morning to take the final measurements so we can go to Home Depot to get the last of the lower cabinets for the kitchen. Work will begin tomorrow and hopefully we can get all this stuff out of the dining room

Preparing myself for a week or longer of living in a construction zone.

Around the house...cleaned up the dining table.

And changed out the wreath on the front door...yes, I know it needs to go up higher.

Thinking...I probably should get dressed---not that the contractor will be here this early. 

Enjoying...having today off. Although something tells me it will be a busy day.

Making me smile...

a new tea towel my husband bought. Cute.

Wishing you all a beautiful day. Hopefully I can get caught up with your blogs.

Currently Sunday...

 Just because, truly, I have nothing Earth shattering to say...

Weather...60* and mostly cloudy and under a weather advisory for wind and severe weather. Tis the season, my friends...or the start of the season, I suppose. It's pretty humid out. And thankfully we did not venture over to the beach as State Road 40 (the main thoroughfare) is closed in some areas due to a forest fire, again, tis the season. Traffic was being rerouted and still is.

Drinking...my first cup of Lavazza coffee. Walmart had this brand on sale and I absolutely adore it. Thankfully, it's not acidity like some coffee is.

Yesterday...we left the house at 9 and didn't return until after 4. We started here in Ocala and ended up in the Villages. It was a full day of "junking"--just looking. Every place we went too was packed with people. We both were just so happy to get home and become couch potatoes. LOL--It was nice to see our favorite places that some had restocked or moved things around etc. 

Metro Diner...it was an off day for them yesterday. The service sucked, one of our meals was overdone, and we waited nearly an hour for dessert. We did speak to the manager, again, it was an off day. I told hubby it will be a long time before I return there, he agreed. I also contacted corporate...yes, it was that bad. It's a shame because usually it's the opposite. 

Things that begin with the letter "S" that I love...ok, I'll join in with the meme for the day

Seashells. Because we all know I can't resist taking some a lot home.

Seashore-LOLOLOL---maybe that should go with seashells? LOL

S-Spaghetti. Who doesn't love spaghetti? Just saying.

Sunshine-just not humidity. I know two different things. But the Florida sunshine is absolutely awesome.

Sweater weather-which we have had a bit of here in Florida. Not often, but usually 2-4 weeks out of the year we do have sweater weather.

Sandals--wait, flip flops. Because I live in Florida and with the exception of those 2-4 weeks of sweater weather, we can wear 'flips' year around. To which, I have to get my feet ready for 'flips'. LOL

Gotta go...to the dreaded store today. Hubby was going to grill out, but it looks like the weather will be uncooperative today. I / we also have to get gas in my truck for the reminder of the work week.

Needing to...I realized the Christmas outdoor garden flag was still up...so, yeah...I probably should trade it out. LOL

Yeah...and I probably should get around...I will try to catch up with your blogs later. Have a beautiful day all.

Currently Valentines Day

 Good morning, I have to say the weather has been very pleasant and warm and a tad bit humid for the middle of February.

Currently...

Weather-50* and expected back into the 80's here inland. Hubby suggested the beach today, but the NASCAR race is at Daytona this weekend and plus, the beach coastal weather is only supposed to be in the 60's. No thanks, wait for less traffic and warmer weather.

Thinking

--We did not find out some disturbing news about the mother in-laws furnace going out until 2 days later and without heat for that long. My husband did jump all over his sister and his mother...excuses after excuses and lies after lies. For Pete's sake, its only 11* up there. Anyways, paid the electrician/ wired the money to the company. Ridiculous.

Celebrating

It's Valentines Day and hubby got me silk flowers, yes, fake...as I prefer them.

and Harriet the Hippo. He said Harriet has to go in the backseat of my truck. LOL

Feeling--tired. However, it is a 3-day weekend. I did tell hubby we would go Antiquing aka junking today.

Answering...

because I forgot, once again, the Tuesday Meme.

1. Do you own a TV or do you have more than one? We have 4 flat screens/wide big tv's. They are pretty cheap now.  1 in each bedroom and a 60 inch in the living room.

2. Which programs do you like to watch? I like HGTV, You Tube, Tubi and On Demand.

3. Were you ever a soap opera or serial fan and if so what series or soaps were your favorite? One Life to Live, All My Children and General Hospital. I rushed home from school just to watch them. LOL

4. Is there a TV character that stands out in your mind and if so, what makes them special or noteworthy? Not just a character, but a show. I loved the tv shows Ozzie and Harriet, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best. Just wholesome shows, no cursing, no sex etc. Just wholesome shows.

Making me smile...

Wishing each of you a lovely day filled with love and laughter.

Hodgepodge on a Thursday

 Hodgepodge on a Thursday, wait, it's Thursday? Already? 

1. What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'?

Hey, the kitchen redo/remodel is going to start Monday. And don't tell anyone, but I have a favorite inmate aide, and it was announced she was going to teach my Math and Science class. Hallelujah. So, yeah, I was tickled pink.

2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has its thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way? All the above...and to be honest just stop and smell the roses. 

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated? 

Just coming home to a warm (ok, cool house now) to a husband, dog and cat who love me unconditionally.

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Both? Any special plans for Valentine's Day? Nope. The husband is talking about going out to eat, so who knows. lol

P.S. Thank you Robin for the lovely Valentines Day card. Sure, made me smile.

5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love.

Time, it needs time

To win back your love again

I will be there

I will be there

Love, only love

Can bring back your love someday

I will be there

I will be there...

Still Loving You by the Scorpions. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I really don't have any thoughts...we're going to meet friends for dinner tonight at Longhorn. That is about it...work, work, work is all I do. Have a great day.

Currently Superbowl-less Sunday...

Good morning. A chilly start to this Sunday Morning at 33*. No worries, it will warm to the 80's this week and I will gladly say Happy Happy. yes, friends, I am fully aware of the very fact I will be complaining about the summer humidity soon enough.😉

So...

Currently Superbowl-less Sunday...

Hubby is going to put on some homemade meatball soup for dinner-he has actually kicked me out of the kitchen stating, "What does a woman know about making meatball soup? He means no harm; he just is being funny. He has no plans to watch it really, and I will be in bed by the time it does come on at what 6:30-7:00. I will further refrain from the other comments he has made about the Super Bowl and the Olympics. With that, he did say he would watch the alternative 1/2-time show.

Around the house...

the kitchen remodel items still sit in the dining room. Eagerly awaiting the remodel to happen. Hopefully it will be soon. We have had to wait due to unforeseen issues such as health and weather. One clearly cannot tear up a floor to reroute the plumbing when its 14* to 35*.

Projects...

See above and plus, I really need to clean out my closet...it's sad truly how much clothing I have collected since moving here. Time to purge and get rid of the old clothing that I no longer will wear due to losing weight. This first summer being back here, 4 years ago, wow...was it hard.

Visitation...

stopped over and visited with the folks yesterday after our haircuts. Boy, they were lively / overly talkative-which is very unusual. My mom said it was time to start purging and we had a discussion about this and that. I will refrain from that--as that will become blog fodder about ones prized possessions. However, with that said, when two grown men one nearly 81 and the other nearly 60 come out of the garage grinning like cheshire cats, both of us (mother and I) knew something is up. Yeah, more blog fodder. I am also fully aware of why...more walk down memory lanes and talk of prized possessions which my brothers want no part of. 

Prized Possessions...

which brings me to the thought, what is a prized possession? What would you consider a prized possession? Is it emotional? financial? sentimental? I will let you ponder on that.

Survival Mode...

my friend, Debbie over at Millie's Cozy Life had a wonderful post and it has touched that proverbial nerve, something we have been discussing here in our home. I wanted to write a post about this topic. But I find myself just exhausted thinking about it. So, I will just say, I think I will just link it and say, I believe the majority of us are just in Survival Mode. Christians have become persecuted for our beliefs and in constant spiritual warfare for centuries and it still continues today. The Bible does talk about that; 2 Timothy 3:12 is just one verse. I am constantly reminded about putting on that full armor and reminding myself whose daughter I truly am, no matter how much this life interferes with it. Because in the end, I will stand before that throne and answer for my life. Period. No one will escape that. NO ONE. Heed my warning and thought that NO ONE is true. 

Amen...

wishing you all a beautiful day and I will try to get caught up on the blogs today.

Currently...not Team USA

 Good morning. At least it's not overly cold here, as its 50*. 

So...

Reading...the news and how suddenly Team USA Olympic Skiers are not Team USA anymore... It is shameful that the Olympics has turned into a propaganda of hate and such even from our own Team USA. No thanks, you can stuff it where the sun don't sign. Your there to show your talents and support the USA, not spout "You don't support wearing the American flag due to ICE." Disgusting. I personally do not want to know your political viewpoints.

Watching...Geesh, I do believe I fell asleep last night and vaguely remember Lottery Dream Home. Sadly, I was mentally down and out.

Feeling...

Weather...50* and the sun is coming up. Supposed to be near 70* today.

Listening...the husband is in the kitchen--putting the dishes away, wiping down the countertop etc.

Last night...we headed towards our favorite pizza place on State Road 200 (Hospitality Row as it used to be called) and for whatever reason, the roads were at a standstill, so we backtracked and made it to Piesano's. It still took nearly 45 min. to get anywhere. It must have been an accident--we did see the firetrucks, ambulances etc. roll by.

Yep...it was one of those days...anyways, pizza, chicken wings and hubby ordered a meatball sub, and we ended up bringing most of it home.

Thankful...for a coworker who was in the vicinity of a chewing out who texted me last night to check on me. Yeah, the bossman was not happy yesterday...and he called me on the way home from work (he felt the need to express how sorrowful he was I got caught up in it, once again--the chewing out wasn't directed at me, but at the coworker whom, once again, we had to come to the rescue for.) BTW, when you are getting chewed out, keep your big mouth shut, unfortunately she has not learned that yet. Hence why it was so brutal. She just wouldn't shut up. He was not looking for explanations or "I don't know", not at all. Just.be.quiet.

P.S. "Survival Mode" seems to be the thing right now...I would like to discuss this later...in a later post.

Thinking...

--haircut day

--run to Wally world (egads, ugh, sigh)

--something weird is going on in the neighborhood...there has been a car and or truck canvassing around...the other morning, I walked out to get to my truck at 5:45 am and there was a pickup truck sitting off to the side taking photos. Of what? I don't know. I yelled for my husband and the truck sped off. The other neighbors have seen it too.

--hubby wants a Twistee ice-cream today.

Celebrating...nothing really. Hubby claims he will not watch the Superbowl, I really don't care, because it starts around the time I have to go to bed.

Laughing over...

LOLOLOL. I do believe my husband probably said something similar.

Wishing you all a beautiful day.
