My birthday dinner by request…..
I never blogged about my birthday dinner and a friend asked me to. Several friends took me out to dinner for my birthday. At the table across from us I promise the couple was getting ready to clear the table. It was like watching an x-rated movie. If my kids were with me I would of nicely asked the couple to get a room. Since I was with friends we just laughed loudly about it. One of the moms at our table kept pulling up her shirt flashing everyone. I can’t believe no one else noticed. Oh yeah she was nursing a baby. It just sounds funnier to say she was flashing everyone. When I was in high school I had a friend who flashed people her boobs all the time. One time I was driving and this guy was riding his bike down the road. My friend rolled down the window, leaned out and flashed the guy. He rode right off the road. It was so funny. I guess our days of flashing people and skinny dipping are over. Now we just laugh at the people around us and make up wild stories about them. I guess when I am closer to 5o than 40 my parties... oh yeah I am going to Australia then so I will have wild party. By then 50 will be the new 20.

Update to why I was blogging at...
I just wanted to update everyone to my early morning. DH was very wrong. I was up that early and felt like I had all the time in the world. I ended up being in a rush to get out the door. I was putting my make-up on in the car after we got to where we were going. So having an extra hour did not work in my favor. It just gave me time to blog and do a load of laundry.

Why am I blogging at 5:55am?
I have great advice I wish someone would of given me before last night. When you ask some one to wake you up when they leave, make sure you know what time they are leaving first.
99 percent of the time my dh leaves for work at 6:30am. 1 percent of the time he leaves earlier. This was one of those mornings. He gets up to get in the shower and wakes me up. I am extremely tired. I am wondering why I am so tired. I am stumbling through the kitchen to let the dog out. I am trying to make my coffee maker work. I have a Senseo Coffee Pod system. I have this so I do not have to measure coffee and put it in a filter while trying to wake up. This morning I am having problems getting the pod in the little basket thingy.
I am clearly not waking up. Many mornings I wake up on my own when dh gets up. Why am I so tired today? Finally dh tells me why. Here is our conversation
DH: It's only 5:15am.
Me: It is not! I can't focus on the clock to see if he is telling the truth. I walk in the kitchen where I can see the clock. It is 5:15 am. Why on earth did you wake me up this early?
Dh: YOU TOLD ME TO! (I can not believe he actually said this)
Me:But you didn't tell me you were getting up at 5:00am.
DH: You didn't ask.
Me: Geez thanks, maybe when I told you to wake me up you could of mentioned you were getting up at 5:00am.
Dh: At least now you won't be in a mad rush to get out of here this morning.
Me: I kind of like the mad rush, it gets me moving in the morning.
So now we are all ready to go and have an hour and half to burn. I am writing this when I could be in bed sleeping. Maybe I will go put on my make up instead of doing it in 5 minutes when we get to where we are going.

An old post I never posted from May
I almost died yesterday!!!….. Really……
Ok so I have not had one post in all of May. Let me explain. It seems May in the busiest month of the year. All this time I thought it was December.
We had 4H end of year party, Girl Scout Awards, Boy Scout Camp out, Presidential Fitness Awards. I am sure I am forgetting a few things. Add to that Baseball and you are booked.
We also had a couple of really bad storms. One of those storms knocked out the tower for the Internet. We were without the Internet for over a week. I have decided I am addicted. It was a rough week but I made it through.
We also have been working over time on the garden.
Now how I almost died yesterday.
My dd wanted to go check on the garden. So we went out and pulled weeds, checked what was growing and etc. We were ready to come in and were walking up the steps when dd screamed. She put her hand out to stop me. Like a mother would do to protect her children from danger. I should of turned and run then. But instead I stepped in front of my daughter to protect her from the danger.
Well standing in front of me was a cat with a mouse hanging out of his mouth. I screamed and ran. I don’t really remember running or screaming. Next thing I know my daughter is standing next to me in the driveway asking me what’s wrong. I am still screaming. She is telling me to calm down. Then she tells me the cat is gone now. It is ok. I am still screaming. She assures me the cat is gone and the mouse is gone. We slowly walk back to the house. I get in the house and I am still screaming. She keeps telling me to calm down. By now ds is wondering what’s wrong. DD tells him. He gets me a glass of water.
I finally calm down. See if there had been a snake on the porch I would of remained calm and handled the situation. But mice and rats I can’t handle it. I have this phobia it is real. I can’t help it.

Quote of the day.....
Dd was letting the dog in and said " You should not leave dogs outside all the time. They are really just like people only naughtier."
I thought this was so funny. What's even funnier we have a dog that lives outside all the time. we have two dogs in the house and one who lives outside full time. I guess since the outside dog has a job protecting the chickens it doesn't count????

What is THAT dog barking at........
This phrase has been said quite often lately. Over the last week or two the dog has been barking for no reason. This is the dog who usually never barks. Recently he has started barking at nothing. He will not stop he stands there and barks and barks. The other day I had enough and decided to go search for something he was barking at. I found it. A snake skin on the bookcase. Don't be alarmed this was found outside and brought it. Maybe that is alarming. The other night the dog was barking at a the container that has all the Nintendo DS games in it. Dh asked what is THAT dog barking at. Dd said the DS games. I thought it was a little strange he was barking at the DS games but THAT dog is a little strange. Then latter the dog who barks all the time was walking by the container that has the DS games and stopped several feet away. You could tell she was smelling something. She then made a huge detour around the container watching the container the entire time. Now I had to go check out the container. You guessed it the snake skin was in the container.
Now I have to call our dog trainer and make an appointment for THAT dog to get snake proofed. The dog who barks all the time but didn't bark at the snake skin was snaked proofed several years ago. She wanted nothing to do with it. THAT dog was interested in it. Now I have proof snake proofing really works. These are hunting dogs who spend time running in fields and have a good chance of encountering a snake. They have a rattlesnake vaccine but I would prefer not finding out how well that works.
Who knew dogs could smell a snake skin. I am wondering how they know what a snake skin smells like? Why if they can smell the snake skin do they not think they stink when they get sprayed by a skunk. I know they don't care if they have been sprayed by a skunk. How do I know this? Because they have been sprayed more than once. If I got sprayed by a skunk it would only take me one time to know to stay FAR away from skunks.

The Swiffer again.........
I should do an infomercial for Swiffer. This would air on the rural living channel. Really there is a channel on TV that is for people living in Rural America. I am not sure what it is called but scan your channels and you will find it.
We have found yet another use for our handy dandy Swiffer.
Getting praying mantises off the ceiling. Now you might be wondering why a Praying Mantis was on my ceiling. It all started when I asked ds to let the dog out. He let the dog out and told dd you should see this. It was a spider web right by the door, under the porch light. Several bugs were caught in the web. Dd said she needed help. A praying mantis was stuck in the web. Ds got a drumstick the kind for playing drums not eating. He was able to get the praying mantis out of the web. He was trying to put the praying mantis on the porch when some how it ended up in the house.
After much screaming it was on the ceiling. I got a paper towel to try to catch it while standing on the arm of the couch. More screaming and it is now in the kitchen on the ceiling. Dd is screaming get it, if it touches the light it will die. I am running around trying to find things to stand on to catch it.
Then the Swiffer came to the rescue again. I grabbed it and held the end to the ceiling. Almost as if he knew our plan the praying mantis walked right to the Swiffer and climbed on. I walked to the front door stuck the swiffer outside and praying mantis flew away.
