So I usually don't walk outside in the winter time if I don't have to. I usually only go out to get wood or feed the chickens. I don't like cold. This afternoon, I heard my cat scratching at my back door so I opened it to let her in. I reached my hand out to see what it felt like out there and it was SO NICE! Its like 70 something! Wonderful weather! I even opened a few windows to air my house out! I love spring time when I open my windows and let all the beautiful fresh air into my house. If I lived in a tropical setting, I would only have shutters, I wouldn't even have real windows. A good breeze is my favorite thing ever. EVER.
 
Oh, how I laughed at that last bit about the name of this town...yes, it must be somebody who´s not quite there that named that place.

You´d love living over here then Morgan. And here was I moaning about how hot it was today when I was sitting outside my local cafe having a beer at lunchtime. I had a long sleeved t-shirt on and a long sleeved thin jumper. I was just sweating so much but couldn´t take my jumper off as my t-shirt was one of my older ones and don´t want to be seen out in just that so, there I was sweating buckets. Problem is early morning, it´s quite cool so you never quite know what to wear. I didn´t want to go inside as it´s such a shame to miss the sunshine so if you were here, you´d have all the windows open and the doors. I do in the summer but not in the winter.

Don´t envy you going to the bridal expo when it lasts that long. The only problem with all that drink and no food is that ýou´ll be well gone before you´re half way through the day. You´ll have to take some snacks with you to pick on with the wine.

Jenny, I must find an old photo of when I used to compete all dressed up...that will give you a laugh :wink
 
Yes, I would love it over there! I would love having one season, BEAUTIFUL! I do like the mixture of seasons, but I'm all for sunshine and heat. I love it. My hair on the other hand, does not like humidity, and the sunblock companies love me. Since I am mostly Irish and English, with a little Belgian and 1/8 Cherokee Indian; I'm about as white as they come, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I like to get sun but I get "safe sun" with sunscreen! hahaha.
I would love to be able to have my windows and doors open year around, that would be amazing!

I just sent my kaytee alfalfa back, I got the envelop today. So it will go out in the mail tomorrow. Hopefully they send my a coupon for something, so I can send it to someone else!
 
Yes, you´d have to be really careful over here as it´s sunny, they say, for 320 days a year....when it´s absolutely pouring with rain, it doesn´t feel like that grrrrrrr.

I´ve just googled Bunny Foo Foo, what a strange little tale...and guess what, Morgan, I scrolled through the google pages until I found your Bunny Foo Foo on page 7 but it´s the one where you posted on the bridge...brought it all back it did. But she is still there.
 
I knew it would be there if I went through the google pages. And yes the nursery rhyme is odd. haha.

I just had to do elephant surgery on Ellie's little elephant's foot. My dog chewed its foot up a while ago and thats why I gave it to Foo, then I gave it to Ellie because she was so tiny. I pick it up every time I clean her cage, but today was the first time I've really looked at it. The little bag of beans was coming out of the foot! I couldn't believe I've let it stay like that for so long. I pulled the bag out and sewed its foot up. Not my best work, but it'll do. haha. Its definitely not as pretty as when I sewed the lamb blanket's face up. hahahaha. You can just call me Doc McStuffins! :wink

I just switched Ellie's big litter box into the corner and her little box back into her cage. The big one fits there pretty good, and she's already pottied in it. She's so good. Hopefully that will stop her from pooping on the floor over there and it keeps me from having to put two smaller boxes there. And she gets to go between the cage and box on one side and the box and dryer on the other. She likes to tunnel into things. I need to go to Lowes and get her one of the concrete tunnels, she would LOVE it!

I have some ribs in the oven and they smell delicious! Yummmmm!
 
Lisa, I LOVE Parenthood! I started watching season 2 last year and was HOOKED! So my husband and I started watching season 1 to catch up to where we started last year. Its one of my favorite shows for sure!

The staining on Ellie's feet has lessen in the last few weeks. I looked at her today and she looked less stained. I think I will look into something to clean them though, but she would definitely hate me for cleaning her feet!

She is doing well with the pellets, she's still getting like 10 kaytee pellets per feeding. I just need to switch her completely, but I just don't want to see her search for the kaytee and its not there! hahaa.
She is a GREAT hay eater. She eats coastal now and she loves it! I just mixed like 3 bags of hay together so I might give her handfuls of that too, as like a treat. Its the botanical, oat and timothy that was left over from Foo. She's used to grass hay so she should be fine. She'll like it as a treat.

The expo WILL be fun because we're going to have to make it fun! Its going to horrible, but we're going to keep it light!

I have not cooked from my french cook book yet! I need to, but I think I'm going to wait for my MIL to take my son on a Saturday night or something and make myself and my husband a nice "special" dinner from a great book! Like a stay at home date night, which is the best date night! ;) I hate going to restaurants, so over priced for something I could make myself, at home!
 
I've watched all seasons of Parenthood but I love it so much I want to get the DVds and watch them again.

Wait til you get to this season. I think I've cried in every episode!

Oh and sorry about all my typos. I'm on the iPad and I'm typing so fast and I can't go back and edit lol....
 
I've seen a few of the ones from this season, every time I watch it, I cry like baby. Its so hard to see her going through all the cancer stuff. Its really heartbreaking. But I will say that I can not stand Max. I hate the the way they skate around parenting him because he's "different", it makes me nuts. Thats one of the only problems that I have with the show. Other than that, I totally love it.
 
Just had to go and google Parenthood to see if I´d seen it as they give it some weird names in Spanish that have nothing to do with the original title. That happens with films as well where they call it something completely different when it´s really straightforward in English....does my head in :nasty: Anyway, Parenthood hasn´t arrived over here yet so I´ll have to search it out on the internet to see if I can catch it.

I beat you Lisa, I´ve been a bridesmaid 7 times and don´t think anyone will ask me again at my age. It is fun but I don´t think I had one dress I could really say I liked or which suited me....well, the bride hardly wants the bridesmaids to look better than her.

Can´t wait to see you cook your first French recipe, bet your husband will be impressed although you sound as though you´re a really good cook so it should be no problem....mmm talk of food always makes me hungry.

For all you sun lovers, here´s pic of from my balcony last week. House sitters requests are welcome...

Chris, I'll trade places with you! You come here to America, stay in my house with Ellie and I'll stay in your flat with your boys! I need to brush up on my Spanish!
 
You´re welcome anytime Morgan and I don´t have a bunny sitter yet. My friend who has the dog said that if I wanted to go back to the UK for a long weekend,she´d go in and feed the boys...they just don´t get it, you can´t just pop in twice a day to feed them and that´s it. They love company even when they´re in their enclosure and they love to be out and about in the house. I try and give them as much time as I´m in there which is always much more in the winter as I work less out of the house. That´s why I love RO as you all feel the same about buns and understand them in the same way. I laughed with her and said that it´s more work than having a dog... in a nice way I mean. So, as you can see, I´m desperate for bunny friendly house sitters who´ll love my little rascals just as much as I do :woohoo
 
That's your balcony view!?!?!!?! Good gracious that's like a permanent vacation! Like a resort......wait til you see my "balcony" view lol. I should post it on my blog for kicks and giggles......you'd really appreciate your view then ;)
 
I'm sure its very difficult. But I don't like they way the parents parent. My dads girlfriends son is mentally disabled but really high functioning. She does the same thing as the parents on Parenthood, she lets him get away with everything and coddles him. It makes me nuts. Because he knows right from wrong and he does wrong things and gets away with them because she allows it. And much like Max on the show, he's a jerk because he's a teenage boy. I'm not just saying that because he's handicapped, but most teenage boys are jerks.
I don't know though. I don't live in their shoes, so who am I to judge them as parents when I don't live that way. It would be so hard, but I feel like personally, I would do things differently.
 
Oh I know, I agree coddling them is the worst thing!! Come to think of it, my sis/bro in law do that a bit with their son and it has even caused problems between us...(whole nother topic, lol) but yes Max can be a bit of a pain in that show.
The last episode he had the birds and the bees talk with his dad and his dad had to tell him where to wash so he wouldn't be stinky....it was too funny ;) my friends with older boys always joke with me that my son will someday be a grown and stinky boy....hAhahah...hard to imagine my sweet boy will ever be anything like that!! ;)
 
Oh ok yeah I was thinking about it and Victor doesn't have brown rice. I looked on ancestry.com and found out wayyyy back when I had a lot of family from Nacogdoches. There is also another similar in La called Nacogdotches I believe. They're too similar and not that far from each other. Hey hey hey though, Texas isn't crazy. Just us people who live here hehe. Yee-haw! :party:

I know Texas isn't crazy! hahaa. I've never been to Texas, but my MIL spends a lot of time there for work and she likes it. She said she stays in a Double Tree hotel in Houston and it has the nicest people who work there. They give her an extra cookie! haha. She just doesn't like the heat in the summer time.

Oh but some people in Texas are crazy!! My father in law lives there... :stikpoke

LOL..

Okay, now I will backtrack through your blog and check out posts on Ellie :)
 
Okay y'all, its rant time. Its been a really rough morning!
I would like to start out by saying that I just gave my son a few bites of brownie and I'm probably going to regret that later.

So I wake up this morning to all the alarms screaming at me and my head is POUNDING! My husband gets up and goes downstairs, I stayed in bed because my son was still sleeping. My husband walks back up and say the power is out. I was like 'uhhh, no? The alarm is still on.' So it was the power in the living room and bathroom. (our house is a weird design and its old. We have a breaker box AND a glass fuse box. Makes no sense.) The power goes off because there is screw loose on the case of the glass fuses.
We have antique french doors that go from our living room to the front room/entry way. They have 15 panes of glass in each door and glass door knobs. I love them. But my husband doesn't know how to walk through the door like a human being without slamming the crap out of the doors. Only one of them opens, the other one is locked shut all the time, because we don't need them both to open to get out, ya know?! haha. So he slams the opening one to the non-functioning door and it rattles and shakes the house. And NOW it shakes the fuse box screw loose and turns the power off.
So thats what happened. He slammed the door last night with the light off and the tv off and it cut the power off without him realizing it. So no power this morning.

So I have to come down to solve the mystery of the lack of electricity in half my house. I walk into my kitchen and one of my cats had peed in my floor, under the island. Then someone else pooped in front of Ellie's cage and then IN Ellie's big litter box in the corner. WTF? I just stood there, I was in shock that they all did something bad! I hate them all. So my son wakes up and I go change him. After I changed him, I asked my husband why I have to deal with so much piss and sh*t before I even have a cup of coffee, and he said 'because you're a mom.' Then he walked out to start his car and SLAMMED the french doors the power went out again! I damn near screamed. I got the power back on, then started to clean the floor. My husband came in after tightening the screw on the fuse box and told me bye, he said he hoped I had a better day, as I'm cleaning up cat piss. I told him if he didn't leave the house I was going to kill him, as he walked out of the kitchen, I yelled at him NOT to slam the door! He didn't.
So I'm not usually one to nag at him, thats why I have my friend and my mom and you guys, but I told him like last week that he HAD to stop slamming the door. It makes me nuts, like its grading on my nerves. I can't take another door slam, its slowing taking moments off my life. I know that sounds a little dramatic, but I can't take anymore! I tried to tell him as nicely as I could to stop slamming it and he didn't listen, because he doesn't think that he slams the door at all! He doesn't hear the loud BANG, RATTLE, SHAKE THE HOUSE that it makes. AAAAHHHHHHHHH! :pullhair:

The whole time I'm cleaning my floor, Ellie was pulling on the bars of her cage because she wanted out. I told her to stop and I would let her out in a few, when I was done and when the floor was dry. So I gave her some pellets, that shut her up! hahah.
Last night I fell asleep on the couch at like 9:40 and my husband woke me up at like 10 to go to bed. So I went into the kitchen and sat in the floor with Ellie to get her in her cage. I sat there and stared of into space because I was in a sort of coma. She jumped in her cage and started to eat, so I closed the door on her. She wasn't too happy. I got up and I was thinking that I wasn't sure if I had fed her her second feeding of the day. So I fed her again. hahaha. Thank god she's a baby, because she either got 1/2 or 3/4 cup of pellets. I think that maybe I need to feed her more pellets anyway, so its okay. She was almost out of pellets this morning too, so she's a hungry baby!

Last thing, I put in a load of wash. I was trying to turn a sock right side out and I got my wedding ring stuck on the sock and it pulled it off INTO the washer! Thankfully my ring landed on a pair of shorts that weren't near the water. Its a little big on me. My fingers go between sizes based on what I eat, so my fingers go between a size 6.5-7. My ring is a 7. My fingers this morning are a 6.5, lol. I was so scared I was going to loose my ring!

I'm done now and I feel better. Thanks for listening! Happy Friday!

Men. Sigh :)

I don't think you would have a normal marriage per SE if your hubby didn't do SOMETHING that made you insane :) sometimes I think that is what my husband is here to do. And let me tell you, we've been together 18 years and I'm still training him. Then, I love my son more than life itself, but I chuckle thinking that I'm raising another little man who will someday annoy his wife, haha.

That definitely is alot of poop and pee before coffee! But on a positive note your son will be potty trained someday :) I'm so glad to be done changing diapers. Your cats doing that, hmmm, didn't you mention they had started going in your house? My sisters cat did that and she now has to lock them in one room and they stopped. If they have free run of thenwhole house they pee and poop outside the litterbox.

Well speaking of coffee I'm going to make a pot and get my son off tompreschoool. I sure hope your day gets better and your hubby stops slamming that darn door! Lol
 
My cats are insane. They stopped using the litter box a year ago, so I took the litter box away. I put them outside now, they go out like dogs. They stay out for like 20 minutes when its cold, do their business and then scratch the door to come back in. Usually, they wake me up to tell me they have to go out, but I guess I was in a coma last night and no one could wake me up. I don't have a CAT litter box in the house, so I get why they used the floor, but even if I did have a cat box, they wouldn't use it. I would still be in the same place with a litter box for them.
They all just suck. One of them is 13 the other is about to be 12 in April and the other is like...4? I think, I'm not totally sure about her, she's a rescue. I think the two older ones(mother-daughter) have just lost their cat minds and they don't care any more. They're the two that REFUSE to use a box. The other one, will use the box.
Sometimes I really dislike cats.

Thankfully my son doesn't poop often at night! haha. Only pee diapers in the morning, but he leaks through diapers like every night and wakes up wet. He was only a little damp this morning, but that still means a change of clothes! I don't know when to start potty training or even how to go about it. I need to look it up or get a book or something, but I think he's showing me signs of being ready! I can't wait, I HATE changing diapers. He'll be two on June 5, so we're still a few months off, but still pretty close.
