Be Still...

"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"

PSALM 46:10

A Dog Day Afternoon

Finally warming back up and time to get back outside and work!

As I was taking a photo of this vignette, which I still need to work on, plant flowers inside my monkey grass and I'm going to paint my husband and my initials on the heart, I noticed Bucky in the background.

Here Bucky!  Come here boy!  He doesn't budge.

What are you looking at Bucky?

Poor lizard.....how would you like to see that face looking at you. 

I finally made him leave the lizard......but he didn't want to.

And then I went inside and found that true love still exists.

Sound asleep with her baby doll.

She doesn't care if her doll is old, and dirty and only has one leg and needs a hairdresser.

Breesy loves her doll.

So I would say we had a Dog Day Afternoon.....:)

How was your day?

The Worst 4 Letter Word

Do you know what the worst (boy that word doesn't look or sound right if you say it over and over while trying to figure out if it is right) (but it is) sorry side tracked...

Do you know what the worst 4 letter word there is for me?

R O L L

Yep.....it is not a misprint...the word is roll.

I just hope and pray

Have a great day and Roll Tide...:)

How Do You Do It?

How?

How do some of you do it?

How do you take care of kids, feed the animals, clean the house, plant the flowers, work, wash the clothes, give husband attention, cook supper, work out, get a tan, take a shower, paint your toenails, do your Bible study, sweep the floors, yada, yada, yada, all in one day?

So here is excuse 5,659 of why I can't exercise.

To quote a wise woman who has a way with words:

The Pedicure

My sister, nieces and I went to the nail salon to have a pedicure.

I don't do this very often....maybe twice a year.

I work in the yard.....a lot.....usually in flip flops.

So I noticed my lady was taking a whole lot longer on my feet than my sisters.

And she looked agitated.

She started using that cheese grater thingie and she scrubbed and she scrubbed and she grabbed the garbage can towards her and she took the cheese grater and beat all of my dead skin that covered it into the garbage can and she started scrubbing again.

I'm dying.

First of all I'm biting my lip so hard to keep from jerking my foot back because it tickles/hurts so bad.

She looks at me and says.."You wait too long for pedicure!"

I say yes I know.

She picks my foot up and says "You don't need wear flip flops....they make feet black!"

I say yes I know.

I look around and everyone is staring at my feet....:(.....at least I shaved my toes before I came in....:)

Then she is talking in a foreign language to the guy working next to her and I know I heard her say "I always get worst one"....or maybe I just imagined it.

My sister said that our nail polish described us both perfectly.

She got a French Pedicure...you know......classic, safe, traditional, always stylish.

What did I get?

Lime green baby!!!!

Wild, crazy, doesn't match anything!

Don't judge the wrinkles.....these feet work hard!

I would show you the smooth heels that the lady worked so hard on but.....I've been working in the yard in my flip flops and my feet are black....:)))))

You can't help some people..:)

Have a great day!

Come on Over!

Do you want to know how you can see half the people that live in your town in one day?

This is how you do it....

You wake up and decide today is the day that you will clean, clean, clean inside and out.

You decide to take your shower and wash your hair later because you will just get dirty cleaning.

You clean out the chicken coop, you hang clothes out on the line, you wash dishes, you feed all the animals,

you look at yourself in the mirror and grimace because your hair is so greasy but a shower later will feel great!

You have to run to the post office but that's o.k. because you don't have to see anyone....you can just drive through and drop your mail into the drop box.

You drive back in your driveway and see several police cars stopped between your house and your mother in laws'.

You call her and she doesn't know what is going on and when you walk back outside people that you know are stopping in your driveway to ask you what is going on?

All I could think was......"Oh no....I am dirty, greasy headed, no makeup, smelly..."

As I'm talking to one of our friends who had driven by......another one pulled up to see what was happening.

Then another........and another........and another.......we live in a small town people......it doesn't take long for news to spread.

My mother - in- law and my niece came to the house to see what I had found out.

Neighbors started coming over....

Apparently, right after I left, some hoodlums on an atv stopped and was snooping around the shed between our house and my brother - in - laws house.

Our good neighbor came over because he saw them and they tried to run....he caught one of them and they called the police.

Nothing was stolen (yet) but they were on a stolen atv.

They were arrested and taken to jail.

Very thankful for good neighbors to take action when something smells fishy, (besides me)

gotta go take a shower now.....:(

Yippee Monday (did you buy that?)

It's bad when you don't know if you have the stomach virus or the "I ate the whole box of Swiss Cake rolls virus".......:(

In other news.....

Even the chickens are pulling pranks today..

As I was deciding what to name this post:

April Fools + Monday = Blah

Monday Madness

Just a Typical Monday

I started feeling sorry for Monday.....who does that?

You know....everyone hates Mondays.

It pulled the short straw.

You have Cinderella Saturdays,

and Snow White Sundays,

and then there is the evil, step sister, witch Monday.

Poor Monday......

(don't judge me, I'm on virus medication)

So I hope everyone has a great, mood medicated Monday....:)
