My new name.
Today was a nice day. I did not clean the house, even though its Sunday (the day I clean house) The kids got along, fairly well, for my kids. We had a birthday party go to and Tim worked nights, so a bit of a change in pace.
My Aunt decided we should HIKE during the party. I was wearing flip-flops. This marks the second time I have been "hiking" and the second time I have worn the wrong footwear to do so. Fun. I fell on the way out, luckily NOT down the steep hollers we were nearby. I had Bailey on my back, and slammed down on my knee. I look like a 5 year old with the skinned up knee. Luckily though, I am counting the hike as my workout for the day. Especially since I lugged around an 80 pound 8 year old for 7 min. of the hike. It counts!
When I went to leave the birthday party, like mother hen I was gathering up my "chicks" one, two, three..... Where is four? Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaailey!!!! No answer. Bathrooms, no bailey. Creek, no bailey. WHERE is my SON??? Where was my son, well about a MILE away at the POND "fishing" He took a string, tied it to a stick and tied a feather on to one end. When we found him and I was wanting to get mad, his Uncle Joel just kept commenting on what an "Awesome job" he'd done making the pole... O M G.
So to the van, ready to leave, ready to go home and dye my hair, because another 45 greys have popped out for sure after that one. Son, who should be in trouble is having a fit, because he's never been fishing "his entire life". Well son, your LIFE almost ended without ever having fished. He says he asked, I said did I SAY YES? He says he did not hear me... Um then you DON'T GO!
Boys will be boys. My Aunt just kept saying "at least he's safe" and I said, yeah, until I get his butt HOME!
I made tuna mac. The kids begged for me to buy McDonald's on the way home instead. Upon serving the tuna mac, the kids nearly licked plates clean and had seconds, I had to grab a plate to make up for Tim to make sure there was some left! WTH? I do not get children. At all.
Oh I also sliced up a nice ripe tomato from the garden with dinner. YUM!
So why am I the crazy lady today again? Well I am in this challenge group on Flickr it is called Active Assignment Weekly This weeks assignment (and my first I might add) is machines in your daily life. For some reason this stumped me and I finally thought I would take a picture of my water spout outside in the front.
It is very possible this is not really qualified as a "machine" but darn it, its a cool picture anyway right??? LOL. And I am sure a crazy loon for being outside, snapping way pictures of a waterspout when the neighbors come home!!!
It started quite the conversation I can tell you that. HA! Kind of like the conversation around the water cooler. So now not only the lady at the gas station, but my own neighbors, think I am probably nuts. Its okay. I think I probably am as well.
On a higher note, I got all the kids to bed myself this evening. Tim worked until 10, so I had to do it alone. It was not too hard. I broke out a new game of "table tennis" I bought at Walgreen's for .69 and we played that a while to get worn out. It was a nice night. I got some "me" time after they were asleep and now I am ready to go to bed, after once again telling the world, or well "my blog" which is not really the world, more like what 7 people? LOL. Anyway telling 7 people, that I am nuts. Although they already knew too, I am sure. Its pretty obvious.
