LOL So I’ll play catch up. Let’s see…….
Saturday, Do got up and said how about we go out to eat tonight and to the movies? By ourselves, Mel can babysit. Ok, sounds good. Melissa agreed quickly, as she’s been trying to kick me out of the house to babysit anyway. She wants the money! lol We went out to eat at Shiloh’s. It was the 1st time I’d been there. D’s been there for lunch before. So I sit down at the table and start looking around. I start on the left. Oh nice wood on the walls. Nice big windows, and more big windows on the next wall. Oh, more nice wood on the wall behind me. OH, what’s that? A large display case about as long as my couch! OH MY!! There’s a FREAKING big SNAKE in that display case 2 feet from my head! AHHHHHHH!!!! *turns head QUICKLY with horrified look on face!* I told D if I ever went back there again, I’d be sure to ask for a table NOT next to the freaking big snake! We had a nice dinner, and went to the theatre and bought our tickets, then went to Walmart (of course, where else would we go?! lol)Then back to the movies. We saw National Treasure. I let D pick the movie. I never would have picked this one. But I did like it. I don’t like action/adventure movies, but this one actually had a story line. lol On the way home, we passed out volunteer fire station, and the trucks were out. UH OH I hope it’s not our house, quick step on it! lol No I didn’t actually say all that out loud. Just thought it. lol So we were scanning the sky, and saw a red glow and lots of smoke. So we rode down the road to see what it was. It was a BIG factory on fire, Mid-South. This was at about 11:30. I don’t think the fire had been burning too long, as my mother and mil came home about 10, and Mom said she didn’t see any smoke then. The factory burned to the ground. Those of you who live in my state probably heard this on the news. The factory was about 3 miles from my house, and the biggest private employer in our county. Over 700 people (although the 3 channels that I watched are all reporting different numbers) This is MAJOR for our county. The factory did have 2 buildings, and only one burned, so they will be able to bring some people back. But only a small fraction. So many people out of work, in a county that doesn’t have that much work to start with. So sad…
On Saturday morning, D was getting out of the shower and kicked the tub (on accident lol) and broke his toe! The one next to the little toe. He broke his toe in the shower! Well, not all the kids knew about it, and on Sunday morning Abigail stepped on his foot. So he recovered from that painful experience, well, as much as one can recover with a broken toe. He went out in the afternoon to feed the animals, we were all standing in the barn, and the big doe, CeCe, stepped right on his broken toe! The poor guy! Nothing you can do for a broken toe, except convince your family and animals NOT to step on it! lol So now everyone’s trying to stay away from Dad’s toe! lol
Yesterday, Monday, we didn’t do much. Just the usual housework, schoolwork, barn chores. brrrrrr, it sure was cold out there! We didn’t stay out any longer than necessary. The kids (human) wanted to stay out, but I wouldn’t let them.
Today were supposed to have piano. First lesson back after vacation. Their teacher always tells them that it’s her vacation, not theirs, they still have to practice. lol I’m thinking about canceling, though. So cold. Mel’s had a headache for a couple of days. If she still has it, I’m going to cancel. D and his mother and my mother are all at jury duty this morning. The first time they have to report for the year. Sounds like fun. NOT! lol I asked him last night if he had any money in case he had to stay and was there for lunch. He said I have $2. lol not enough to get him lunch. I told him since our mothers were there, between the two of them, they’d take care of him. lol So that’s all that’s going on today. I do need to make banana bread though. I’ll do that this morning. So that’s it…..How bored are you now?……Hey, wake up!!!……Stop yawning and leave a comment! LOL
