Guess

Alright now put on your thinking caps on.......Not the dirty minded type, please try to be serious for just a moment...

Okay now please comment on what you think it is......

He ( hubby ) has done or rather not done this at least 37 times......

Clues:
1) has nothing to do with a bedroom or clothing
2) It has nothing to do with food
3) it is an act and an object
4) it ( the object) can have many uses
5) a habit that aganoys some people (mostly girls)
6) children often waste it
7) cats and dogs have been known to play with it
8) if you run out or cannot reach it you may curse
9) men only use it half the time......

the balance

what really happened


Well we clearly did not start work at 5 am ...so we worked until past 7pm....yes in the damn heat......

Garden shed update

I will be going to hell I am rather certain.....Hubbies hideous alarm went off at 5 am and I being the GOOD WIFE had stayed up to watch t.v ( at hubbies request)......Never mind EVERYTHING we stayed up to watch was saved on TIVO...........NO WE HAD TO WATCH IT NOW!!!!!! Oh but since it was so hot yesterday he ( evil hubby) was going to be up and working on the shed ( at 5 AM).....And stopping when the mercury was nearing 70 degrees......Mind you we built a house in Eastern Washington when it was 104 degrees and the paint was drying in mid air from the paint sprayer.....70 degrees is JUST TOO HOT HERE.........Too muggy, blah,blah, blah... Anyway I am growling for him to make the *@#* stop...He semi sleeping past the noise......I finally get back to sleep and wake around 6 am.....I HAVE LEFT HIM SLEEPING..........Oh I am going to hell for this.....I assure you all I will blog my next post to let you know how it is there......Right after I fill the Alpaca wading pool and feed horses and the rest of the brood......At least the coffee is good and if I let him sleep for just a little longer I will have gotten the whole pot to myself....As if I need to be more wound up than I already am...A few days ago I being me set out to make Mr. Cranky Pants laugh, found said reindeer antler, which I put on, came around corner ( he did laugh ) but I just had to continue until he was wishing he was at work.....Instead of watching the juvenile antics of this ranch fairy.....I have to go now as it just hit me, I am outside, if he wakes up and I am out here he will lock door as punishment and I will have no place to pee when I start laughing at him...Will report the heat index from hell on the six o clock news.....

Ranch Hand

Well hubby & I had to get some help as hubbies LIST was long and we, the two of us would have to take several week's off to complete it all. We have fencing and gates to move a circular driveway to level out and a page of little things to do....I have yet to get my paws on the wood lathe that I bought of off craigslist over a month ago.....I am chomping to turn just one little bowl.....

Anyway about the ranch hand....His name is Steven and he is a 17 year old with great energy ( I am going to talk to God about this energy thing being given to one at the wrong time of life) anyway he is a fine young man polite always right on time.....And works very hard....Hubby treats all hands as if they are already trained....I spend a great deal of time explaining to him that they do not arrive this way and he can not expect people to be like him or work as hard....Anyone who tried would be dead in no time flat.....We stopped work fairly early on pour day and hubby fell to sleep watching TV, I left to go help friend and then came home at 7pm with Thai food.......Ranch hand informed hubby that he slept until 4pm the next day....I think john felt a twinge of fear wondering if his folks would let him come back to work for us.....He said it was okay and not to worry, hubby then asked if he was okay with all the hard work....Kid said " yes, no problem and besides, you two are funny"................

Well that is all for now, hubby decided he might go look for work and I am free to feed the brood and get those outside pillows done for friend.....But I really want to play on the lathe for a few hours.....No reward till the other stuff is done....Tootles...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Most people have well lets just say rather typical moms......Me on the other hand is another story......
My mom is VERY COOL !!!! I know you are all laughing because I being me saying the word "cool" just about puts most of you on the floor rolling.....But let me explain...........

I will try to tell you in a few short lines about my mom, ok stop laughing, I know it will be more than a few lines.........

My mom is little just over 5 feet tall,
she is as tough as they come....She grew up in Northern Canada without power or running water
she did and can out survive anyone out in the woods...Not that she would go back....She does not care to be that cold, infact given the chance she would live in Arizona....( my dad could not he likes the cold )

On more than one occasion my hubby and I have called her to use her as a dictionary...She often solves most of our scrabble arguments ( yes we have several dictionaries and the internet ) but she will give us a completed description as well as the Latin origins......

She reads at least 5 books a week during the winter, thus being the reason I am certain she knows all the Latin names of her plants in the amazing garden she has created....Her mind is so quick and she is so smart.... The smartest woman I have ever known...( I have in almost 43 years met plenty of folks...) She has lectured on Native American History and then taken a several month road trip with dad to SEE HISTORICAL SITES......

Mom is the best cook in the world I will put her up against anyone ( famous or not ) and I will assure you she will out chef anyone.....MY OWN HUBBY says to me "honey, your the second best cook" we then both laugh because we know mom is # 1......

Well mom

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.....You are amazing !!!!!!!
