Tooth fairy , six year olds and money

Six year olds..gotta love'em..dirty face and all....well...it started with the six year old losing a tooth,now this is the tooth fairy pillow...of course you have to have a tooth fairy pillow to put your tooth in...then he has to say "I know there really is'nt a tooth fairy " so I said ,Well,then why are we putting this tooth in the pillow?....Had to think about that one..if he was going to get some money..he better believe til at least in the morning that this flying fairy with wings was coming to get his tooth and leave him some money......

Next morning ,,,hes forgotten about his tooth fairy pillow...I reminded him of it,,he retreived it and there was a generous tooth fairy leaving him six dollars...The man in the house( not of the house) said,,gee i never got nothing but a quarter ,,maybe fifty cents when i was little....guess you would call it inflation...or the tooth fairy is not as smart these days....which would be me.

Boys.....This one managed to spend a dollar and never left the house...never made it to the store...here's how...My six year old gr-daughter came running into the kitchen and said .."look,,petey gave me a dollar...."I said "what for"....she said...

FOR ME WATCHING HIM PLAY HIS PLAY STATION 2 GAME..,,sooooooooo needless to say we had to tell him to put his money up before he gave it all away...

the question being.......can a girl talk a boy out of anything ?..or can a boy talk a girl into anything?..................all in all...i guess MONEY TALKS..........like they always said it does...so much for the perils of the six year olds...

Sneaking a post

Baby's in bed,,,for how long I don't know ..the little booger drank two bottles..ought to be bloated..still didn't want to go to sleep...I turned the light on ,,which is still on and bingo he went to sleep..Now ,if he thinks I'm sleeping with that overhead light on all night...nope..not happening..the 6 year old wandered downstairs and I've found a few lone moments to sneak on the puter..at any time my cover can be blown and it will be back to the kitchen..I have most of the dishes done..stopped to make spghetti (sp) which is nothing to say the least like my mother used to make it....cooking the sauce for at least 7-8 hours....mama mia ...that was true Italian cooking my mother did...Bless her heart..she loved to cook...never complained ..just didn't like the cleaning up...well...I don't like either one at this age..used too..not anymore..my likes have really changed ,,My mom would make a not one but two large lasanges or spaghetti and have someone drive her to the hospital...I bet the emergency room really liked her...She fed them those high in cholersterol rich Italian meals and never expected a dime,,It was just the joy in doing so for her friends...........Sometimes I wonder if they really enjoyed the food as much as she prided in making it...Every visit I made to her house it was to the local store for fixings for some Italian meal...I guess it was the only thing in her solitaire life that she could do,loved doing and stay at home doing and then fixing it much better then the Americans that lived here..Seems people from different cultures could prepare their own native food better then anyone and my mother could...I never could get into zuchinni and eggplant but I loved squash..I'm trying to think if there was any one thing my mom didnt like ...I think milk...ok..babys up ..im outta here...

Uh oh...I hear a few small moans from the baby coming from the monitor..I'd say my time is just about up...He is really a good baby...When he's up he just wants you to hold him...And if the lazy little shit would hold is back up to sit up he might be able to play with some toys..seems like he gets tired of laying down all the time..guess i would too..

Still raining in 100 -88 acre woods....Not all that cold...just wet and damp with all the rain..well,,we still have snow on and they say it is suppose to get wintry weather tonight..whether we do or not ,,i don't know..have to wait and see.......
The six year old wanted to go out but i went out and fed the animals and literally waded thru the mud.At one time I almost fell, so I threw down the bucket in my hands to get stabilized and caught myself before my tush ended up on the muddy ground...I've heard of people falling in big swine ranches and getting ate up and I can see that happening....These pigs pace and squeal all day long for something eat...Oh dear,,I have to get up and move around ..I feel a sleepy spell coming on..Maybe i Will go take a break on the couch and maybe drift for a few minutes..before time runs out and I am done in...I will try and get a better post and some pics on later tonight...toodle loo.

stupid post

just call me a dimmmmmmmmmmmm wittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
the lights not burning too bright today........................................

came in from a rain filled day of feeding my animals.....and got to thinking which some days can be dangerous coming from me..

As I went to turn off the light from the side of the wall that I normally used I realized that the switch was up which meant I had to flip it down to turn it off...Now everyone knows that to turn a light on you have to flip the switch which naturally means to flip it up...right..well ,,I had to run,,no hobble over to the opposite wall in the kitchen and flip the switch down in there to get the one in the living room to flip up the next time I wanted it on..

Now that got me to wondering why cant up be down and right be left and front be behind,under be over, and so on and so on....how did someone decide which way it is suppose to be and why it stayed that way.....hey what did I tell you ,,,I got to thinking...and came up with this

stupid post..................later

weather or whether

To be or not to be...weather or whether.....The reason being...

Today was forecast to be a very slippery commute in the early hours...so I along with all the rest of the world decided to purchase a few groceries to get me thru a couple days just in case that severe weather made it here.But you see I live in or rather out about 20 miles from town so I don't want to get caught with out ..especially TOILET PAPER.that would suck..

so I must admit I was out there too .I had toilet paper,,I had to pick up a few lunch things for the man in the house...but all in all..I thought I have been doing pretty good as far as buying groceries...Other then bread and milk...I usually have food of some kind to fix..I could survive but not the man in the house...He doesn't eat anything and everything like me..I wanted some soup beans to fix..Got the cornmeal but there wasn't a bag of beans in sight..Guess I know what everyone else is eating or maybe with the economy that's all they can afford ........Now whether the meteorologists know what they are talking about is questionable at times....The weather is not like they fore casted at all in our not so hundred acre woods..It started raining as I sat here posting which was suppose to start after midnight last night and continues to do so..I have yet to see the ice or freezing rain..They do say we are going to have some of that white stuff over the next two or three days...That doesn't bother me..I have nowhere to be at a given time so I can chose to stay in or wander out...Sometimes ,,especially in the winter time I could long to live in town or just on a flatter road closer to town...If my house was sitting about a mile from where it is now I would be in house heaven...referring to no steep winding road to have to traverse on to get to our four lane..I love it in the country and didn't use to lock my door..even with my St Bernard and Black Lab and mousy little Jack Russel I don't feel as safe as I did when I moved here almost fifteen years ago...My ,,how time flies....Just this week..local news reveals how people are coming to houses asking to use phone..out of gas etc..and wham bam thank you ma'am...they are attacking you....How's that for hospitality..Even with the canines its hard to feel safe...Especially mine...If they attacked you,,it would only be searching for a treat...I know if they bark..something or someone is outside...friend or foe..that is the question...sometimes they don't bark.....they are just too friendly for their size...guess I should have opted for a pit bull...

Boy,,I sure got off course from the weather.. Whether that's good or bad I don' know..Finally started the wood stove back up yesterday and banked it before I trotted off to town...I love the wood heat but hate the mess...and smell..I guess I never thought about smelling it but its what you get used to, until I went to a doctor when we first started burning wood and he said my hair smelled like wood smoke.Imagine that..I guess you never notice the day to day smells in your own home but someone not living

there would....Then again,,that's what air fresheners are for..huh...

The man in the house just called and said around the hill from us the salt trucks were out when he was going to work at 5a.m.,,so regardless of whether we get the weather they are predicting they are getting ready for it..

I strayed again..Back to shopping..You would have thought they had predicted a blizzard for a week..The local Walmart was out or low on fresh vegetables,meat and fruit...THAT'S THE WAY IT IS....Everyone runs out and buys up thinking they are going to be holed up for a week...Now ,,if you live in town....you can actually walk and get what you need...go figure..

I can't wait til this summer...We are getting a Walmart in our little country town..of maybe a thousand people.. give or take a few..Imagine that...Only thing is our Walmart is going to be in the form of a Family Dollar Store...I'LL TAKE IT....and only a mile or so from the house..The old people used to walk this route back and forth every day to school..Some were lucky and had a horse to ride...like the ones that used to live on this farm...I can just see the kids of today walking..Actually I do love to walk but I'm kinda hindered now with this knee that needs a replacement...that I don't what to have done...until I have too...It gets me where I'm going..Guess I would never to walk to the local dollar store as long as I can ride being is that you have to go over two hills which would be like mts..to some people....Straight up hills....too much for me at this age.......

Sitting here watching tv as I don't have to watch the keys while I am typing as I had typing in high school....many many moons ago..At the time I had no idea why I took typing.Now I am glad I did....Just like taking music lessons....Once you know where all the chords and keys are you can play...Its all in how you move your fingers...Oops..off track again..Just heard local weather and whether they know what they are talking about..who knows..but they say the icy roads from this rain is going to be here close to noon....we shall see..well not me,,I don't plan on being out in this weather ..My plans are going out and and feeding my animals here soon and throwing some more logs on the fire and doing nothing but enjoy the peace and quiet...Except for the phone commutes it should be pretty quiet around here as I took the 6 year old and the 5 month old home yesterday....The quiet actually scares me...I DON'T SEE TOO MUCH QUIET TIME AROUND HERE...but I love it..

I need to run or rather hobble down and put wood on the fire...call my La. sister ,,,hang some clothes up and do a little picking up...As I said this is the first hallelujah day I have had for some quiet since the week before Christmas..Long overdue........I'm going to enjoy it while I can because depending on whether this weather gets icy the man in the house will be home as he can' drive a dump truck on slippery wet roads...especially moving dirt...and my quiet time will be gone...On that note,,I'm gone

love or laughter

A picture can tell a lot about a person for sure but only the way the looker is perceiving it...For instance the humor in this picture would be when I would say this is me and Pigger and the comment would be."Well, which one is you"Funny ,,,Funny,,

On the other hand...this was my first pig...Not that I was in love with my Pigger but I loved him in a way that you could love a pet...I did'nt have to hold his pig foot ,,just a pat on the head or a rub on the ol belly would do.That might actually work with a lot of people too.in some relationships...hmm.hmm...And I never ever thought just because of prices going up that I would be having him on the table with a apple in his mouth..Now ,,my La. sister might have thought that,,Sometimes I think animals can read your mind..She would call him pork chop and this pig would absolutely at the sound of her voice run her down..Her only escape was to jump on a chair on run up stairs..He could'nt go either place...You just had to be here to see the humor in her and my pig...She did not think it was all that funny but I did...the remembering years.

Since Pigger I have had 5 pot belly pigs of which I still have two..One will be two years old and the other I just got in October of this year...The first four have been males and the latest one is a girl....More trouble then shes worth at times..Typical female ...screaming and hollering all the time....

Back to love and laughter...The above is love with laughter included...The couple here is as much as in love as they were 30 years ago...One would absolutely be lost without the other...No children but they are used to doing everything together ,,cruises ,a trip out of the country every year for a get away together ....I sometimes think it would be much harder on couples if something happened to the other especially if they didnt have children and all their lives were spent doing things together ...I, myself would be lost if that was the case..but guess I like knowing the idea that I have been thru times of being by myself and could do so again if I had too...

I guess looking at pictures would be perceived different by who is viewing it and the way their minds think....But I do know if I am with a two legged and it better be a male then I want that honey wallowing all over me at least for the first 24-48-72 hours then he better make it stretch for the remaining years we have together...enough said...I'm outta here....

Need to post a new profile

Its the dawning of another year which makes me wonder what this one has in store...I guess just surviving the previous one is an accomplishment in itself...So far i have almost made it thru the first day with no side effects from the night before of doing nothing..Can't recollect the last time I have ever went out and partied or lived it up..Was talking to my sister in N.C. and like she said ..."We must be getting old...when the thrill of New Year's is just wondering if you are going to make it to the next one...Oh well..Thank goodness for memories ...

To the left is an up to date pic of me,my son and the gr-babies..I guess I should change the one on my profile to look more like this ..the real me..The La. sister dabbles with photo workshop and gets a charge out of changing our appearances ..I must admit ,,I do like some of them...I don't think she did anything to me in this one...I am what I am...Some days you just look a little better then others...

I sure hope today is not a preview of the weather we are going to have til spring...You can't stand to be outside ...The temperature itself is not too bad...That doggone windchill will get you every time along with the wind...I love the wind on a hot humid day...but not this timeof year...

Must jump off of here and resume taking the rest of the tree down..I managed to make a mess out of three rooms from jumping back and forth and still havent gotten one completely done..I am usually not in a hurry to take the tree down..One year,,just one..I didnt take it down til St Patrick's day...Reason being,,,We were living down stairs with an unfinished upstairs and I put the tree upstairs that year so we only went up for Christmas and I waited til a little warmer weather before I took it down..

I will catch everyone a little later on in another blog..I have to go redo the electric blanket on the bed...Last night was a chilly 15 and tonight is going to be somewhere around the same..I am definitely ready for warmer weather....I sat down to eat a bowl of cereal and dozed off and on in the chair like I usually do so i jolted awake and decided to check out the old puter...

I did and I am outta here....Happy New Year's Day.....
