It’s time again for another edition of Wednesday Rambles, created by Crazy Texas Mommy. I think I may have missed one or two of these, and now is my chance to make it up to y’all. Ain’t y’all so proud?
- I thought I had already mentioned this, but since I can’t find it anywhere except on the Screwed Up Texan Facebook page, Jeebus and Beavis officially moved out two weeks ago.
- My husband and I sat them down mid-January and told them that we were going to charge them rent of a whopping $150 per month.
- That was apparently too much for them so they called the Mother Trucker and had her pick them up and them move.
- Guess who they’re living with now.
- Guess who’s happy to have her home back now.
- The only thing I really miss is that big ole fluffy kitty they took back to Utah with them. Imma gonna miss McGee.
- Fartface somehow ended up back in the house even though it’s been warm outside. Except that one morning he freaked when my husband was using his tablesaw to cut plywood for a freaking awesome clubhouse we are building for the boys and we didn’t see him until nighttime.
- As long as no one pushes anyone out of the clubhouse and breaks their jaw I think my boys are going to love it.
- Yes, the jaw-breaking thing is a real story. It happened to me.
- Also, in case you didn’t already see it on Facebook, my eight-year-old son has a kid named Jesus (Hey Zeus!) in his class at school. Apparently this kid is an angel and never has to move his clip in class. So my son says, “Mom, I know why Jesus never has to move his clip at school. Because he’s Jesus and Jesus is perfect. Which isn’t fair.”
- He then followed that up later with, “Mom, you should have named me Jesus.”
- It’s gardening time here in North Texas which means for the last several days I’ve been preparing beds and planting onions, lettuce, and other cooler weather loving plants. I’ve also started an array of summer vegetables including peppers, tomatoes, squash, and more at home. We’ve already begun picking carrots and radishes. I’ll have an update on all that soon.
Want to name your kid Jesus, advertise, guest posts or tell me I’m stupid? Email me!
It’s that time of the week again where I blog bullet-style because I’m too lazy life got too busy to write a sophisticated post. Oh who am I kidding anyway? I’m not sophisticated. I’m a different “s” word. And it doesn’t start with four letters…it starts with five thankyouverymuch. That’s right folks, it’s Wednesday Rambles time, the blogging meme accidentally created by the one and only Crazy Texas Mommy.
- I’ve been stuck at home with my three boys, because early Tuesday morning it began icing and freezing here in North Texas. Of course it had just been 80 degrees F two days before.
- I’ve been stuck at home with my mother-in-law, Jeebus, and Beavis since Sunday afternoon. At least the mother trucker asked us if she could stay with us just a few hours before she got here.
- It feels like I’ve been stuck in hell with proselyting hippies for eternity.
- My husband’s family isn’t the greatest with communication.
- Monday, I heard Jeebus and Beavis packing up their stuff and taking it out to the van the Mother Trucker brought with her from Utah. When I told my husband he confronted his brothers on it and they confirmed that they were thinking about moving out and leaving this week.
- We still have no idea when they are actually leaving.
- They now think San Diego is the prime location to live based on weather. The cold and blizzards we’ve been getting have made them rethink West Virginia as their eventual stopping point.
- I’d like to see them pay for living in San Diego. The whole incentive they for leaving here, I believe, is because I pushed for them to pay rent in the amount of $150 each to live here, plus $75 in utilities.
- I’m actually excited to get my home back. Eventually. If they can confirm they are actually leaving.
- Speaking of cold places, it is dang.cold.here.
- The reason I’ve been stuck with all my kids here at home with me is because our school district shut down early Tuesday morning. I have no idea when they’ll go back to school. Tomorrow is my wish.
- My friend, and contributor to this blog, TJ, took these awesome ice images over at Lewisville Lake near where we live:
- I’m happy he was able to get out and take those shots, because I tried to go for a donut run this morning after craving them at 3 am (I had to wait til 8 am), and ended up doing my own donuts on my neighborhood street. That was after I got the tires unstuck from the ice on the road.
- As my one Yankee friend said on Facebook: “Doesn’t help there’s basically one snow plow in the state and no one knows how to drive it.”
- In case you’re wondering, yes, I did let Fartface inside. Yes, he’s been using my potted plants again for a toilet. Yes, I want one of those cats that use real commodes to do their business in. Like on Meet the Fockers.
- And before we have a power outage like the rest of my small city is experiencing presently, I better cut this baby short. Dear Spring, please come earlier than usual. I know even if the groundhog sees his shadow today, it’s still six weeks til spring anyway.
- Also, we sneaked Dr Pepper in the Mother Trucker’s rice and when she raved about how delicious it was we told her what we did. Now that’s how you get a proselyting hippie back.
