90 with heat and humidity...

Whee doggies..where did this week go.....One day i can blog at least once a day...then its a week before i get on here again....not that it matters...

We are in the dog days of summer for right now....I sure hope the dogs like it cause I dont...except ticks are usually gone by now...I can do without the nuisances anyway..and the spiders and the sweat bees and the bees, wasps and any other bug flying or crawling around..In reality ,,I HATE BUGS OF ANY KIND....well..thats not right either...I dont mind crickets,,grasshoppers..butterflies ,lady bugs,,you know the nice bugs...but then again ,,how do you justify what bugs are good and what are bad..someone else might think just the opposite....

Oh these silly weather forecasters...what the hell they talking about...they make the comment ,,it will be nice to see the temperatures in the 90's...

you see,,,it is suppose to hit 90 sunday and believe this if you can...we have not had any hot temps this summer...89 is the highest it has gotten.. ..they say we havent had any 90 temps this summer especially with the humidity which is suppose to be here witht the temps..this will be the first of both together......thats why we had to put over 100 bucks of chemicals in our pool to get the water from green to blue because we have had a record amount of rain and cold temps in July...well,,,i sure can do without the heat and humidity......going to be a good pool day ,i can see.....no bike riding and sweating in the park this weekend...swimming will definitely make up for it.And speaking of the park...I wondered why there wasnt hardly any one swimming sunday at the park...thats why the pools are empty too...the water has been too cold..with all these wet and rainy days the water cant stay warm...

well.i was wondering about my hummingbirds that i dont see too much of because there is lots of rose of sharon trees in my yard right now and my petunias so they must be getting juice from somewhere else...the saying goes that the same ones come back each year...I wish they would bring their buddies for a vacation..cause i only have 2- 3 that i see at the most.

I love the teeny tiny hummingbirds ...they say by the time they fly to the tropical country or where ever they go for the winter they lose one half to three thirds of their body weight...whewwww..if they get any smaller ill have to wear magnifying glasses to see them...the guy talking on the news said they leave around the 20th of september....i made this post say hummingbird so i can look back next year and see the few facts about them..they say to wash the feeders with water and vinegar..sorta like a douche bath..huh.....so much for the hummingbirds..

We wanted to take the boys to the fair one night this week but they have football practice every night so they always have to be there...so taking them somewhere at night is out and weekends are jam packed everywhere...and this weekend is definitely going to be out..

I thought it was hot yesterday ..but what do i know..all i know is ,,,,my shirt was wringing wet when i came in from working on fixing the fence where the little she-devil pig got out...first girl pig i have had and she has been the worst..the boys never tried to get out of my fence unless the gate was open or they found a hole..this little girl makes a hole..shes a rootin tootin pig....ive had to patch fence more with her then any of the others..if my lamp or rather big sheep would use the little lamb brain he has ,,he could just get out from laying down on the metal fence and mashing it down..i have to make sure i throw him some bread or he would run to the fence and he thinks hes a dog at times..he gets on hind legs and raises up on my fence and my fence cant take that kind of weight...so i have to take a stick and make him get down...

I am going to go out today and mow..trim trees,, and basically work in the yard ...so much to do and so little time ,,,,cause i know i wont want to be out there this weekend....

well..my gr=babies will be back from the beach today...they only went for a three day stay..but with water ...heat and sand combination that is probably enough time to be there anyway...the little one hates to get the itchy sand in her suit.....im sure they enjoyed it anyway though...

Now i know why i had to turn the ac off every night because the weather would always get back down in the 60's ..sometimes 50's at night and you didnt need it on at night..probably be running steady the next week when this 90 degree weather hits...

I just looked on my blog and noticed that i havent been on here since our trip to the park last sunday.I went along with the man in the house and the 7 year old while they went to ride bikes....I found a bench to sit on ..and my eyes kept wondering around the park wondering if there was some crazed sociopath out there pissed off at someone and going to take it out on some innocent people out for a fun day at the park...like so many other incidents that happen...the one lately..of the shooting at the fitness center...just cause this guy was pissed at one woman ,,he goes in and shoots up an aerobic fitness class...sicko....just isnt safe anywhere if someone is targeting that particular place..

I did like the one where the four woman superglued the guys pecker to his leg....oh that is too funny...they need to do more perverted men like that..

It reminded me of the loretta bobbit case.....glue it ..or bob it...im sure both would hurt immensely......i hope the s.o.b. lost all the skin trying to get the super glue off.....still laughing at that one...I think it would be terrible to do that to an innocent man but in these womans case i could justify the reason they did it....the pecker was used too much for the wrong reason at the same time...They were all charged ...now isnt that some crap.....ok...im outta here again..

.the temps and humidity wasnt too bad at all..I thought i would take my puter ,,find a bench to sit on and blog...til i got there and realized they didnt have wireless anything in the park.Our city park is a oh so small park for the kids and the elderly(((((which would now be me)))).so i talked on the cell phone while they made trips around the park and watched the water fountain,..probably a two hour stay at the most...i sat and watched the little ducks swimming and watching people fish and walking and biking and reunions going on at every shelter.....i thought about picking one out..walking up with a bag of chips and saying i was kin to whoever way back in the family and having a free meal....i can see that happening sometime at one of them.

The guys got done with biking...took a break and we came home..

o.k.it is going on 8 am.im thru posting for right now...catch everyone one on the hot and humid side...

One more thing....they are going to wear michael jackson out with doing the autopsy's on him...let him be dead in peace...

and im outta here again on that one..

busy weekend

Saturday was a full day of fun for the kids cause i sure didnt get a thing done to my house..oh well.house will be here..kids wont.

The preachers wife((Romaine)) is her name..yep...like the lettuce...and thats how i remember it...she brought her 5 boys up ranging in age from 4 to 11 and they went swimming with Petey...After swimming got tiring,,they jumped on the trampoline..after that they rode the yerf dog,4 wheeler,go cart and motorcycles. the yard looked like a race track..of course i had to get in on this one and ride the little ones on the 4-wheeler. after riding the mother spied the big drain tubes that bob brought in from work and had the idea to let the kids roll down the hill in them...she singled hers out to start...petey did it once and never tried again..hers went several times..then it was time to get cooled off again ..so back to the pool...the whole 4-5 hours was spent watching the kids play....was such a beautiful day ,,,

Sunday morning ,we awoke to it raining...rained til noon..humidity got a little high but a wind blew every now and then so it was bearable,,Bob took his bike and the little ones bike and packed them in the van then we headed to town so they could ride in the park for a while...I sat on a bench in front of the pond and watched the ducks and the people fishing,walking,biking and the water fountain spraying water,,the wind was blowing a little so it didnt really get scorching hot..I just heard the weather man say that we are in the dog days of summer and we really havent had any hot hot days since the last of June...more rain then anything..and they say we are going to have a cool front coming thru..I talked to my girlfriend in texas and she said it was scorching hot down there.they havent had any rain at all,,She lives in the valley ,about 20 miles from the border .

the park shelters had the most people as most of them were having reunions..I saw a smith..snyder,cunningham and several other reunions...I think it would be hilarious to meander into one of these reunions and act like you are a distant cousin on one side or the other and pig out ,then leave.If i could find a partner in crime when ones going on I'd love to try it...maybe at a later date in the future...

we came back from the park around 4 oclock and i did not do a ding dong thing except watch a couple movies...elvis and annabell ..that was a pretty good movie...the undertakers name was elvis ,,,the beauty pageant winner died upon receiving her crown and when he went to embalm her she wasnt dead..so the movie went from there...

ok..its getting late..i want a glass of milk..so i am off to the kitchen.....catch you guys later....

FOR THE CAJUN SIS

QUESTION,,,,,hows come i have a dicitonary and some other stupid thing on my blog page...down the left side.yours dont...i want them off there..they can find some other blog site to hang around on...so how do i get rid of them....laterrrrrrrrrrrrrr
NEVER MIND,,,NEVER MIND,,,,I KEPT HITTING THINGS AND THEY DISAPPEARED..its a wonder i didnt delete my whole blog site...Id been one ticked off mother.....so if you have already read this,,i fixed it..i think,,going to go check again,,,,,and this computer must have a cajun brain cause it jumps back to la. time..it wants to go home..

YOU CANT HAVE THEM

heyyyyyyyyy,,look what i have and you cant have them....at least til i get thru this knee surgery and then again a spring chicken I'm not so id say these are keepers for me...I know in these golden years i will probably need them more and they are like my third leg...........already...ok..i have to stop and go put those fugleeeeee shoes on....to jumpstart my day...because the way i look at it my feet are too far away from my head to control the way my brain (((((what little bit i can account for))))feels ,,,especially when my feet hurt i hurt all over...

It is raining and has been all night..so the man in the house will be home shortly...too much water for those big trucks to be sliding around in the mudd...so i can imagine what kind of fun day i am going to have...(((not))))),,,one of these days he will hunker down and find these blogs and read them..(((((I only hope its after I'm dead and gone or if he reads them sooner my dead and gone days might be sooner..)))))whichever............but it doesn't make any difference because if and when he does,,,he will be p'd off cause MY MAN DON'T AND CANT TAKE A JOKE,POKE..OR ANYTHING TO THAT NATURE...I kinda got screwed in this relationship cause we are total opposites...

I laugh a lot..he doesn't

Ive never met a stranger,,every ones a stranger to him.

I'm a homebody at times...hes a permanent homebody..

I love fruits and veggies,,he detests them.

I'm cold natured,,hes hot natured

I loved to dance when i had two good feet,,he hated to.

I wont sit still for a silly fish to get on my hook,,he will all day

I don't like space or spy movies..he does

I like to read,,,he'd rather sleep

I'm on the phone way too much according to him..when hes on the phone,,,its important stuff.......yeah right,

And speaking of being on the phone ,,I deserve that,,I was out in the country ,,the only means of communicating with my friends and relatives was by email without having a humongous phone bill...so when i got free long distance ..that was like hitting the lottery to me...so i take full advantage of it.....I wish i could be around to see what modern inventions and techniques they are going to have for our gr-kids...maybe we can call down from the other side and see what its like..yeah,,forget about that ...we wont have long distance no more...

I don't like hunting or guns,,he does....

I like cold coffee..yum yum and tea..he doesn't.

I like having family around..hes not a family man

I like my cat..he does not

I'm wide eyed and bushy tailed when i get up..hes half asleep .

I'm a light sleeper...he doesn't hear anything when hes asleep,please burglar don't find my house...or I'm dead meat..

I would never tinker with fixing go carts,cycles or bikes up,,,he loves to.....

I can sleep with the tv on..low...He sleeps with his on..LOUD

enough to rock the house..

I don't snore that i can hear...He can make rock music with his snoring...

Now ,,how i got on this subject on our differences i don't know..but trust me there are lots more..but I'm not writing a book right now..i was just blogging..

so back to the future ,,I'm getting off here cause as soon as that Cajun sister sees that i have been on here,,my phone will be ringing and i think Mrs K went to the beach and left the country after that cause i haven't seen hide nor hair out of her....she very well could have floated off to china by now if that big wave caught her...but wait ,,,her and the Cajun nurse were together and the nurse is back..

ok,,I'm outta here to get me to take my old age pills and get a cup of coffee and wait on my phone call...and i see the time is off on this puter again,,its back to Cajun time...so everything is going to be an hour off......later guys..

one more thing.....

the one and only thing we have in common is we are both PACK RATS but according to him,,,of course i am and he isn't..

that figures ,,,its always i do and he doesn't...or i is and he isn't.

whatever turns his crank.......after 17 years,,,we have become permanent fixtures...bonded by age now..I'm just glad we are not Siamese twins....id kill him.......

Im off to wait on my phone call...counting counting counting

SHOESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

These are the shoes I was wearing....no arch..no sole...no nothing...and part of the reason or maybe a lot of the reason why my feet were burning and hurt like hell..

Well.....out with the old and in with the new..o.k. since finding the reason (I think) of why my foot from toe to heel hurt so bad,,,I have started wearing shoes...not just now and then but from the time I get out of bed til I decide to go to bed at night,.which at this point I might as well keep them on cause I sure as shit dont know what time I am going to bed.I'm a hoot tooting night owl..of course my mom was too....no time to sleep..and you can do more awake then sleep..

Back to the shoes....look at these finds....fugleeeeeee I reckon..but in this case looks don't matter when it comes to comfort....I bought these shoes 5-6 years ago on a Walmart special at $2.00 a pair...Now,,mind you they are boys shoes but I have a wide foot and at the finding of a good deal I bought 6 pair...actually I thought I might give some to my son..not knowing that at the time my son didnt even wear sandals.so at this point I ended up with ALL of them,,wanting them or not.

Now, on the other hand,,,flip flops are bad for your feet. we have finally figured that one out.At least they are if you have worked on concrete for a living and get to our over the 50 age.and have bad knees from cartilages been taken out 30 years ago...Well,,back three or so years ago I purchased these flip flops and a green pair to take to the beach to wear with my dresses ...which I never wore....so after deciding to ditch my skinny thin ones..I got these out and they are so comfortable with the THICK soles,,,and my youngest 4 year old gr-baby loved the pink ones,,,"Grandma,,she says...will you get me a pair of shoes like yours.." she loved the flowers on them..I said I would but I havent found a pair like them .so I got her a Barbie pair with flowers that are more to her liking...

Ok. so much for shoes..which are going to be on my feet now...oh yeah....bury me in a pair...later

peace and quiet

Tuesday,,A..........I dont know what I am going to do today...Maybe , just do nothing...but enjoy the peace and quiet....Meaning that ,,,,I took the baby home,,,the seven year old is back home and the man in the house is working...yahooo...the house is quiet as a mouse...except for my sister talking on the phone as I am trying to type so I shall quit for now..

ok...off the phone...am waiting now for the drs. office to answer the phone...I'm waiting as a next in line and that could be the rest of the day..I went out and fed the animals...plugged the pool in and as soon as I get a person on the phone I am going outside and work on trying to get my green pool back to blue.....the green is pretty but blue was much prettier..then after i put the chemicals in the pool ..I have to work on my animals pen...The little black pig rooted up under the fence the past two days in the weak spots and finally figured out after almost a year that she has a snout for rooting ..so root she does.and I'm about to desnout her after having to put her in the pen 3 times yesterday and 4-5 the day before so I have to go build fence before it gets too hot and before the rain starts..the rain is suppose to start after 5 ...and it is suppose to be a hot humid day before it does....I went to town yesterday and thank goodness I had the original little 10 by 10 pen still standing that I made for her when i first got her so she wouldnt wander off til she got used to her new home..well..evidently she must be tired of her new home and wants to wander......anyhow ,,i stuck her little butt in there and left her there all night....shes closer to the house but doesnt have her dog box to sleep in...but shame on her for trying to pull one over on me.As Gomer Pyle would say....SHAME,,,SHAME ..SHAME.....

o.k ...its now after 2 a.m.I just came in from the outside...hotter then a pepper out there and looking like rain more as the day goes on..It is suppose to start raining and rain for the next 3 days..but not until after 5 or later on tonight..I believe that it is going to hit earlier then that...still hot and muggy but getting overcast.....I fixed the fence and made a gate opening nearer the house...to get in their pen..After that I tried to degreen our pool but it is still the same....Now,,I need to go hang clothes out and get the dry ones off the line as soon as I get my handy dandy sandals on..Then I could do for a nap but doubt if i work that one in..I can only sleep when I get sleepy and thats bad especially if you are in the car and that feeling hits you...bet that Louisiana woman is getting her nap in...older people need them more...(tee hee)...
ok..short post ..half my day is gone...and i havent even touched my house... later guys,

p.s,,my first day of peace and quiet....I dont know if i like all this quiet or not...that seven year old can be a pain at times but I miss him..

questions without answers

Don't know why you get to thinking certain things but today was one of those days...thinking of my grandbabies and being a gr-ma...
my thinking;;;;;;
I couldnt wait to be a grandma...I always thought that having a son the day after my 18th birthday that I would be a young gr-mother but that was not to be...When I was 36 my son entered his first year of service..
After four years--give or take a few months he was discharged.now I'm 40..After army discharge he ran with old friends,started dating a young girl which soon became his wife and soulmate...They married 14 years or so ago and at the age of 32 (for him) my first gr-daughter was born..at which time I am 49 so now I'm a old gr-ma..
Four years ago..another baby girl was born so now I have the only two gr-children I will ever see because no more children will be born in this marriage,,
I visioned being a gr-ma and being able to take gr-children with you..on trips ..to the park,,overnite stays,,like all the other families I knew could do with their own....This is not the case...Why,,, 7 years later I'm still trying to figure it out...I say nothing so as not to cause a rival in the family .Maybe because on the mothers side of the family this was not done in their young days either.."Why ',I asked.Because all the immediate family lived in the same town so they didnt get to stay with gr-parents because they visited them on a daily or semi-daily basis.Well,,,that must have been nice but didnt these kids ever want to stay with their gr-ma..and did they get too....I can't answer that,,,I only know my son stayed with his gr-ma several times off and on thru the summer months when school was out and my mother loved it...My sister took him on camping trips.one in particular to Spruce Knob or Pendelton rock in wva. or somewhere about that area...He still talks about the cans of beans her now husband put over the camp fire without opening and how the cans exploded.He loved it....I never held him back from not staying with family as I had nothing to worry about...so it makes me wonder ..why the mother wont let the girls out of her sight...Is there some deep dark secret that is held back and noone knows that happened sometime in her younger days....I know my son was sheltered but nothing like these girls...He was allowed to go overnight with family and had no horrid tales to tell.
I can only hope that one day when my girls are big,,,that they will wonder why they were never allowed to go anywhere with gr=parents..or perhaps the parents dont think I can take care of them...I did enough times when I was going out to their house to visit while the mother run.And not that I have not babysitted for any other kids and took them with me...I've watched lawyers,,doctors ,teachers and nurses children..I used to babysit for a living for over 5 years..some of these children stayed overnite or maybe two..
So for now....My Sundays are spent trying to let them know how much I love them and how they are the most precious girls I could ever have.I dont want anyone telling them that I WOULDNT take them anywhere or I didnt want them to stay overnight ,,If they ever ask these questions I want them to know that I wasnt allowed to take them anywhere or keep them overnite...I would have loved to at any time...
That I have no control over taking them anywhere as I am not allowed to take them out alone...why...again ,,I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER...I cant take them out and be the proud gr-mother like all the other ones i know do. Are these girls going to be sheltered all there lives only to rebel when they get older..I hope I am around to see how their lives turn out.But another question....Why can the 7 year old stay overnight and go with her little friends at school and cant go with her real gr=ma...?
So many questions and so little answers..We couldnt wait to stay with our nana when school was out when we were young,,,I stayed with an aunt in Ohio most of the summer....I think our mother enjoyed the break.I would have if i would have had seven kids....although the boys never went anywhere ..just the girls..there went her cleaners...and her playful pup but she let us go..
I guess that is why I pick up my gr-nephews and keep them with me.I've taken them to the beach a couple years,,zoo..excursions,actually anywhere I want to take them...I hear the now seven year old telling people I am his gr-ma..after all hes been around me more then my own gr-babies..so i let him..And I suppose if these post is read by the wrong person I could be in jeopardy of seeing them on Sundays..and i guess I better keep other hidden secrets off this blog and to myself....
later..........today was a thinking day..
