Plumbing problem

The problem presented itself as an odd moment. I heard the dog drinking and knew that there’s not SUPPOSED to be water where she was. 1 However…it did not immediately click that I should go up the hill and check on it. I assumed she’d found one of Mama’s many plant pots full of [...]

Wordy Wednesday: I just realized edition

I just realized I didn’t take a picture of the boys on the first day of school.

I just realized 99% of the people who read my blog but don’t follow me on Facebook won’t get the adamant refusal to get rid of the mower of doom.1 2

I just realized it’s noon [...]

The Sound of Silence

The first day of school.

I pulled into the parking lot.

You may have heard me say the words “n00b” and “helicopter”.

Daniel just wanted me to slow down while he rolled out of the truck and into his classroom, but Joe wanted that personal touch.

the hideout of SWEET JESUS!!!!! the Mousekiller. (Approximately 18-24″ long blacksnake)

Oooookay. So I’ll weedeat instead. Only…

This is my [...]

Wordless Wednesday: dry clothes edition

You’ll never believe what I just ate…

I read about it in the Winston-Salem Journal first.

A chocolate covered kreme-filled doughnut? Nah. I’m good, thanks.

A chocolate covered Cheerwine kreme-filled doughnut? SIGN ME UP.

You know I bought them. I *had* to. You can only buy them by the half-dozen (which doesn’t sound nearly as cool as six-pack LOL) in [...]

Requiem for a sofa

It was ugly. Not butt-ugly, but…didn’t go with anything else ugly. A dual-reclining heavy monstrosity that was a pain in the behind to clean under. Blue, with peach plaid striping and a pineapple in each square.

The sofa was in the livingroom when I moved back home from Little Rock. Like everything else that [...]
