Papaw had a nurse today.. one comes out on Tuesday's and Thursday's, so I don't worry too much about going because Mom has help with him then. Lisa helps her in the early mornings, then at bedtime, but it's the daytime between when Mom needs help. She's ok but for the B.M's. And that doesn't stand for Big Macs either, let me tell ya. Today, I got double lucky because Brenda and Shelly are over there, so if it happens, they get booty duty! *laughs* Evil.. yes, why yes I am.. I hate that part of it... just hate it.. yuck, ick, ugh!
Poor Mom, she'll say, ok now leave that phone by your bed.. he's not had a BM yet, so just in case.. or.. you be on stand by, because BM's happen.. *coughs*
I just get so very enthusiastic about that.. yeah Mom, ok Mom, anything you need Mom...all the while trying to devise a plug that won't let BM's happen until Lisa's over there, or a legitimate excuse that sadly, keeps me busy with my affairs in England, or Iceland...or anywhere but there at BM time! *grins* Don't let Lisa know I said that though.. that would be bad.
I was there all day yesterday.. all day, and he didn't do it! I was so proud of him! Then... when it was time to leave.. I serreptitiously took my plug and got the hell out of dodge! (teasing, teasing, I haven't invented the plug as yet, honest!)
I miss my camera so much! Kodak has it now though, they say it's still under warrantee and are repairing it, or will send me another one. How cool is that? I can't wait to get it back.. I've missed a whole week of school spirit with the girls.. ie/crazy hat day, whacky clothes day.. school colors. I hate missing those things. Jana sent me the prettiest little afghan for Maegan and I've not been able to get a shot of it yet for here, I keep forgetting to take it to Mom's, and when she's here she doesn't have her camera.. but wait till you see it, it's cute as can be. :)
When I get it back, I'm going to go stay the night at Mom's and see if I get any anomolies in papaw's room.. I have a hunch Mamaw's hanging around in there. I know this sounds odd but I've smelled her twice there right beside me in Mom's kitchen. Odd after all these years of nothing from her at all. I heard her call for me twice the past few weeks, once in my backyard, and once here in my own house the other day. I guess maybe she's near where he is.. or .. my skeptical mind says maybe it's just that I look for it harder now and maybe my mind is just hearing what I'd like to hear.
A little about my dog.. He thinks he's human. I know it's a 'one of the pack' thing, but that little fella just fascinates me to no end. He sulks if he gets in trouble. He likes to torment Maegan, I guess since she's the smallest next to him he thinks she's the one he needs to best so he isn't the total 'least' of the pack, I don't know, but she holds her own and it makes him so mad! He sounds like he's sneezing when he barks, he thinks he should have a bath when it's bath time around here, that's the funniest thing, he leaps trying to get into the tub, and I won't let him, he gets mad again and sulks. At mealtimes here he just stares and glares, thinking he should be at the table too, I'm sure.. I've not had time to teach him to fetch a ball, he does but it's not anything I taught him, he won't let go of it so I can throw it again, he's more.. AHA, I got it and you can't have it back.. He does help me get my clothes out of the drier.. again not a thing I taught him, he just likes to pull the clothes out and he stands there holding them in his teeth until I take them from him and get them folded.. that is downright wierd!
Mikyla, Mallory and Nick got their report cards this week and they all 3 did just GREAT!! Good job kids!!!!! I'm so proud of you I could bust! (I know that word's burst but it sounds so stupid to me that way)
Maegan is beginining to talk up a storm now, that youngin is adorable. She's been calling me "Mumsy" today. Strange, she's been calling me Mammy for weeks. Mumsy.. why would she decide to call me that?
Joel.. bless his soul he's been potty trained, doing so well, but the past couple of weeks he's backslid. Ol' poopy pants, ick, yuck, ugh, he's too big for that. And my stomach's too weak for it. Wasteful, and sinful, I know, I know, but I can't help it, I refuse to wash those big old smushed in turds out of his undershorts, so I just sneak and throw them away. Putting him in the tub and washing him off is bad enough, but having to deal with the undershorts is the next thing to being in hell to me.. but...Bonnie caught me and said "Mom, they're too expensive, please don't throw them away!" Okay, okay, properly chastised, I promised to stop throwing them away.. so now... I just pick them up with 2 finger tips, arm extended as far from me as I can get it.. and I drop them into a walmart bag, tie it in about 4 knots and then I hang it on my doorknob for her to rescue when she gets in from work. *laughs* She hates that.. said there's nothing like coming home to frozen turds after work.. but.. it's either that or the trash barrel.. I .. Can.. NOT... cope.. with poop. God, Bonnie, Papaw, Mom, the whole world.. forgive me. I can't do it. Yuck. Ick.. UGH! Joel! Get with the program... you're almost 4 now.. STOP THAT! Hell, even the dog uses puppy pads.. Hey.. do you think I could get Joel to use puppy pads too? *laughs* Wouldn't Bonnie just love that? I'd be inviting the lot of you to my funeral, I think.
Okay enough of this crappy post.. I have to go do laundry. Scrub the toilet, mow the lawn, wash the windows... absolutely must restack the firewood, till the garden for next year.. so much to do.. go to the doctor.. get Stan's eyes examined.. his head examined.. etc, and so forth.. so many ways to avoid.. I mean just so much to do it's hard to find time for much else..
NO REALLY!!
