Just when it was gettin good...

Out come the fucking blackflies!! WHY MUST THEY EXIST!?? There is no way they serve any purpose in the food chain!! There are plenty of other bugs for birds to eat!! Mosquitoes...I can deal with...I mean they suck too (hee hee...I am soooo punny)...but they don't bother me nearly as much and those bloodthirsty ...buzz in my ears ..bite me and make my neck swell up and allergic reaction... sons of whores. Yeah...I said it! So....for the next month or so I can say goodbye to by beloved porch unless I decide I enjoy being swollen and covered with crustified sores. EVIL...PURE EVIL I TELL YA!

On the bright side, Rick thinks it will be a short season for them since it's such a dry spring. Although...this is Rick we are talking about....they guy who will never just "not know" the answer to a question. You'd never know he didnt tho...cuz the shit his makes up is so creative and believable sounding. Then 7 years later he tells you "there probably aren't really 5 foot fish in that lake we were camping at....I was just messin' with ya" That's my man ;)

I did a scrapbook page about my current state of baby fever! Here is the journaling....

"I have baby fever...BAD! I know that I don't want any more children and our family is complete, BUT... I miss...that week...naptime snuggles...nursing, bathtime and of course those adorable baby clothes!! Since I can't even fathom or daydream about being pregnant or going thru labor again, I daydream about REALLY STUPID STUFF that would never happen in a zillion years....such as Driving along the highway and spotting a young desperate mother about to abandon her baby, so I pull over and instead she gives the baby to me OR somewhere out of the blue a girl shows up at my brothers with a baby she claims is his...he is unable to raise a baby at this time in his life, so it's BABYTIME for ME!! (Which would soooooo never happen) Hopefully soon SOMEONE close to me will have a baby so I can get a baby bix...or maybe a puppy would do the trick wink... Wink!!"



I almost didn't post it on scrapbook.com because I know that I sound like a complete looney with the daydreams I have...lol...the funny thing is those are NOTHING compared to some of the other whacked out shit that runs thru my head sometimes! Of course...that is all just fantasy and none of my crazy ass shit never makes it out of my head like it does others.... I guess that's the difference between a crazy person and a 'normal' person.

Anyway.... I am puppy 'shopping'...sort of. I say sort of because I know I don't want one until at least June because I have a bunch of trips planned in May. I also want to wait a bit to make sure that we can still afford to EAT now that we have a mortgage. (OK...a little drama there...but our mortgage is double our rent ...so the fun 'spend all I want on whatever I want' stuff is going to need to cease) I don't even care about shopping as much anymore. I just love being HOME...in my HOUSE.

On my Porch....

On my porch right now....

-2 white rocking chairs
-2 blue adirondack chairs
-our grill
-lots of shoes taken off to save our house from becoming as muddy as our driveway, little girl shoes, even littler boy shoes and mommy and daddy shoes
-A toy dumptruck full of dead worms, a toy tractor and a pile of rocks
-A dogless dog chain




Our porch says so much about us as a family. We love the outdoors (well...most of us do....I am a girl who prefers a 'bug-free-zone'). We are not the neatest bunch ....but we try. We love to grill and eat dinner together as a family every night! We have a little girl with a passion for fashion, a little boy with a duty to get dirty, and 1 happy collie couch potato.

I love my porch and I love all it says about us!
