Dust Off The Cob Webs

It's time to dust off the cob webs off my blog page. Since Lou is playing softball and Bb playing baseball my time is very limited leaving a small window to begin with. And since I write BB every night I find my blog collecting as much dust as my living room and let me tell ya that is quite a bit. If I can't find time to blog do you honestly think I have time to dust? Hell no! Even if I had time to dust do you think I would? Hell no!

Here is a brief run down of the most current events. Ready - Set - Go!

WEIGH IN #4
It's official. I am now in to a double digit weight loss. Yes, another 2 pounds for a grand total of 11. Even though I'm proud of myself I was hoping for a grand total of 12 for an average of 3 per week. Guess I better find that extra pound, or not find it is a better way to say it, before next weeks weigh in.

WEIGH IN #3
Another 2 pounds bite the dust.

FIRST GAME
Lou had her first game. She is batting 2nd and played 3rd. 1st time up she hit the ball. I was jumping up and down like some crazy woman that finally fit in her skinny jeans. She got on first, stole 2nd and ended up scoring. 2nd time up she struck out. Boo Hiss Hiss. But at least she went down swingin'. 3rd time up she walked, ended up stealing 3rd and scoring again. I couldn't have been prouder. However, when Lou discovered I had a shirt that said "Lou's Mom" on the back you could see the shear terror come across her face. I was forbidden, I mean forbidden to let anyone see that shirt in any shape form or fashion. She was absolutely appalled and couldn't believe that I could even coniser the thought of purchasing such a reputation destroying item as a t-shirt that displays "Lou's Mom". "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? OH MY GOSH!!!" I thought it was a good idea. Guess not!

NOT THE SWINE FLU
About 2 weeks ago Lou & Bb were at the house when Bb suddenly became ill and progressively got worse and quick. Considering it was Sunday I had to take him to the UTC in Lexington. The throat swab for strep came back negative so the Dr. determined it was allergies. Allergies? Do allergies give you a fever of 100+? What do I know I'm not a Dr. but OK. Allergies it is. It's now Tuesday and he's still not better and his temp has now climbed to 104. He went to the family Dr. and long story short it's mono. Yep, mono. Good thing is he's not contagious unless his temp is over 104. 104? I think at that point you have more to worry about than being contagious.

NO GAME FOR YOU
With Bb having the kissing disease no baseball for him for at least 2 weeks. I was really kind of bumbed about that, even though it does keep me hopping with both of them playing, he has really dominated this season.

ALL I WANNA DO IS MOW
I am a strong independent woman. I can take care of myself while BB's gone. Right? Well maybe. Since he has been gone the water heater has gone on the fritz, the lawn mower battery is dead and the truck battery is also dead. So my first attempt at mowing the yard kind of went like this.

Throw up the garage door, jump on the mower and nothing. I mean nothing. I say to myself "Self, this isn't too bad, since I'm doing my weight loss challenge I'll just push mow." Cool, I'll push mow the 2 1/2+ acres of yard. Noooooo problem. I grab the keys jump in the truck to go to the storage building to get the push mower. Turn the key and "click, click, click". Ugh! Now what? Oh, I know, I'll weed eat. Looking, looking, looking. No weed eater. WHERE THE HELL IS THE WEED EATER?????????? To this day I still don't know where the weed eater is. So you know what I did? I bought Round Up. I'll show them. Whose them you ask? Them is they's cousin.

So, in a nut shell it has been main dish of crazy with a side of insanity. But I'm hangin' in there.
