Planes, Bangs?,and Mobile Posts

The following babble was typed into my iPhone Wednesday while on the plane:

I am on the plane and it is so loud
I look out my window and see why
I wondered why it took so long for someone to sit next to me
It is because I am sitting IN one of the propellers!
The lady next to me finally fell asleep
I don't see how
She didnt stop talking fora solid hour

Her name is Judy and she is on her way to San Antonio to see her daughter Beth and Beth's husband Mike
Gerry was going to come
But he doesn't like mike because mike has had some issues with holding a job
He just can't decide what it wants to do
So he goes from one dead on job to another

But he is the father of her granddaughter, Abby so he must be worth something . Gerry can't look past it though .

Oh! Your a teacher?
My brothers wife was a teacher for 27 years. Taught fifth grade at metro for most of them

She says it's the most rewarding job you can have
(Judy must have heard that on tv once)

Anyway
Abby is out of school ( she is going into the fourth grade)
Mike thinks she s old enough to stay by herself while they are both at work
Well not these days
Judy is going to have to share a room with Abby when she gets there
But she is going to stay and until mid August!b

( I think ole Gerry planned that one just right)
Poor mike and Beth

And poor Abby
Cause judy snores
Bad
And when she is sleeping deep like that
She "fluffs".
It's bad.

I was going to doze off myself when this lovely cacophony of sounds and smells fell asleep
But they passed out the pretzels
Why do you supposed they package them in the little foil packages?3

If teachers ran this plane
They would all have to have waited until everybody had theirs and then on the count of three open them together
Better yet, they would have served them in coffee filters

And don't the know to only offer two choices of drink?
That way it doesn't take as long and everyone is happy because they feel like they got what they wanted

We are beginning our descent into Sam Antonio
She says we have to turn off our stuff

So I am going to go and I guess I'll wake up judy so she'll be prepared to get out of the way when we land:)
It was quite the two hours.
But it could have been much worse.
It could of been some creepy guy who wouldn't stop talking about his blog !!
Today is going to be FREAKIN AWESOME !!!
We are going for our new dos
I hope the girl who reagan picked to do my hair has a degree in wizardy! Because there's a huge difference in where I'm starting and where I would like for to end up Hee Hee

Here goes nothing- I pressing send and it says it's going to magically appear on my blog... Cross your fingers!

WHAT THE HECK?!?!? Wednesday

I should be checking, rechecking and checking again to make sure I have everything-
but it's Wednesday !!!

I have so many What The Hecks this week- I just couldn't let Wednesday go by and not post it!!!

First off-

WHY THE HECK am I still awake?
My BFF Teacher Neighbor is going to be here at o'dark thirty to take
me to the airport- I should be sleeping-

But I can't
I have had too much coffee!

I spent half an hour looking for a pair of pants that were in the dryer
(I looked in the dryer 3 times)!

WHAT THE HECK is up with Swimwear Cover-ups in SMALL?
If you wear a small, you probably don't have ANYTHING TO COVER UP!!!
I purchased a very cute one today-

It is advertised as a 10 in 1 Convertible Cover up!
After I fished through all the SMALLS I found a large, bought it, took it home.

Guess what-
NONE of the 10 configurations you can make with this contraption worked!!!
At one point, the MR had to come in and rescue me from it-
I was trapped
it was awful
but no worries,
I am safe now and this ridiculous piece of cloth is in the bottom of the bag ready
to go back to the store!!!
I was so upset that I could only be consoled by a Reese's Blast from Sonic,
I am all better now.

Whew.

Remember a few weeks ago when our whole city was invaded by groundhogs?!?!?

Ok, it wasn't an invasion
but the fact that I saw 4 of them in one day was pretty cool

Well-
WHAT THE HECK are they doing- following me?
This was at the pool today.

They are soooo cute! I want to hug one- but I am sure that
would end in disaster.

Have I told you about my AWESOME garden?
Well I will,
but first I have to ask

WHO THE HECK's been eating my strawberries????

Aren't they cute?
They are the ones that made it!

There is also something "Wascally" attacking our carrots!
And the little stinker has been eating the tops of my sweet potato plants!

I found out where he is coming from!!

I found his little coat and slippers! (hee hee)
Just kidding- but I did leave him a little peace offering and a note:

We'll see how well that works:)

Moving on....

WHEN THE HECK is 'poop" going to stop being a funny word?
I was making the "sloppy copy" of the grocery list on the dry erase board.
I walked away for one second...

When I walked away later and came back
there was also "goat feed" and "a new son"
We don't own a goat.
And the boys were fighting.

(I told you I had a lot- but I might not post on Thursday if I can't figure out my phone)

WHY THE HECK do we tell kids not to play with their food?
It's fun.
This was our snack at the pool.

Gummy bears in life preservers:)

WHO THE HECK drinks this much coffee???

I filled my first order for my MIL and got it mailed off to her today with this cute little note!

She is having some sort of team building exercise in her office and she thought these would be nice to give to her staff.

I opened my Etsy account- but haven't listed anything yet- I'll do that when I get back:)

and last but not least

WHEN THE HECK did Daisy make INDOOR products????

I just thought that was funny-

OKay- my ride to the airport will be here in five hours!!!!

I will be stalking I am sure while I am gone-
Have a Wonderfully, Wacky Wednesday!!!!

Currently Anxious!

Shhh....quiet...

We don't want anyone to know I am in the office on the "puter-com" (that's what Chickadee used to call it)

If I get busted (by anyone) it could be ugly.

I have so much left to do-

I am almost done packing-
I can't zip it up for good because I know I will forget something.

I have already planned all of their meals for the time I will be gone.
I have finished most of their laundry.
I have made a list of a few things to pick up tomorrow.

With all that I have left to do- I couldn't stop thinking about the blank Currently template that was on
my desktop- so I had to come in here and fill it out.

(I am also loving that in a few days I get to meet our lovely Currently creator face to face) YEAH!!!!

But I am starting to get nervous.
Remember how freaked out I was about the TN meet up- and how I was going to get there and not have to drive it?
Well, I have no worries about driving to the airport- that's covered.
My transportation once I get there is covered.
And I don' t think I run much risk of them asking me to fly the plane....oh dear Lord, I hope not-
Great, now I've given myself SOMETHING ELSE to worry about!!!

It actually isn't the plane at all- it's the airport-
I have never flown alone before.

I'm a big girl.
I am in charge of up 24 separate people throughout my day-
but for some reason I am getting very anxious about taking care of myself at the airport.

The MR says I am too old to have one of those attendants accompany me.
And he thinks a note pinned to my shirt will make me look too vunerable.

Maybe I'll have to wake Reagan up early (she loves getting texts from me at 5:30am- even if I DIDN'T send it then- love ya!)
and I will make her Face Time with me the whole time and she can be my eyes and ears and direct me to the right place.

I have to skadaddle.....I hear footsteps......

now go link up with Farley

shhh...quietly:)

A Squirrelific Sunday

Happy Sunday!!!!
I am coming to you today from a very clean office and an almost very clean kitchen-
I will be taking a very well deserved break @ 1pm to go swimming with the Littles.

but first I must share some fantastic news!

Whilst I slept- I reached 300 +1 followers! Yeah me!

Very excited about that. Lots of support for my creative ideas and I think I am gaining a small fan base, based totally on the nuttiness of my life that has nothing to do with teaching- that's okay too though- they say it takes a village! hee hee

I do have more Fantab-ulou-isticful (new word) news

One year ago, this was me

I know, I look awful as a red head- but anyway- that was me.

When dinner was over, I went to the deck to have a smoke.
When I woke up I grabbed my coffee and went to the porch to have a smoke.
When I was on the phone (which was a lot) I went to the garage to have a smoke.
When I needed a break, I just went to smoke.

The Mr quit four years before I did- and the only thing worse than living with a non smoker when you are one- is a reformed smoker!
You stink. Oh, God, that smell is awful. That soap isn't covering it up. blah blah blah

It was so easy to say I AM NOT GOING TO SMOKE when the Littles were on the way. I had a reason (that was my mindset)
So when I wasn't preggers or nursing- it was a time when I was smoking,
So this is on and off (mostly on) for 23 years.

So I made a decision about several parts of my life
1) I was going to become more organizned.
2) I was going to surround myself with Positive Pollys.
3) I was going to work on my OLW- Priority.

With a lot of hard work- so many wonderful things have come to fruitition.

1, 2, and 3 all started with this:

I did this cold-turkey!
Like, threw the unfinished pack away in front of the family and made the promise, cold-turkey!
After the initlal :
LOOK OUT FAMILY I AM GOING TO CUT YOU UP INTO LITTLE PIECES AND HIDE YOU IN THE CRAWL SPACE IF YOU DON'T GET AWAY FROM ME stage,
I realzed that life as a non smoker was pretty nice.

I didn't have to worry about my breath.
I was able to get my nails "did" - smoke always turned my tips yellow. And they have been "did" since July of last year.
I have saved lots of money.
I don't hack anymore.

OH MY FAV- I got my "grill" redone-It was never an option unless it was a "for sure" thing that I was really quitting. So Lots of Drama (and P.A.I.N) and $10,000 later- I have my smile (actually a better than before smile) back!

(Check out the post this pic came from- here The Littlest Little and I were trying to take a pic together)

So life has given me lots of goodies since I made that choice to quit.

I keep my mind off of it by blogging and I keep my hands busy with typing, scrolling, stalking, and crocheting. Worked this one up last night- needs some tweaking- but I think all she needs is cute green bow and some lipstick and she'll be ready to go!
