Well my dears it has been a week here at the Hollibaugh Horror House! Let me tell you a thing or two....first off the Chosen One showed up at the house with a DOG and a pretty little girl. She says he polite and she likes that sort of thing. Well he better be! His mama is a self respecting southern bred woman who wouldn't be caught dead going to town without every hair in place and her face on too! Much less even think of breeding a boy who was rude. Why those are cussing words in this neck of the woods! I remember a time when a boy being rude to a girl would earn him a black eye to say the least. So to hear those words almost sent to me saute again! But I stopped myself, didn't need to do all that when we had company, I could wait til later to bask in the memory, swirl it around like wine before you taste it!
And would you know in come bounding that DOG of the Chosen One's! So that pretty much ended my conversation with the pretty little girl. So she will be leaving tomorrow, headed back to Mass. Sure hope she comes back to see me. I say me because they are young and I try not to expect much these days. So maybe just maybe we will get to finish our conversation someday.
My free spirited child has alighted upon the branch outside out window and declared to all within hearing that her love has return from deployment today. We are all excited for her, actually we are thrilled beyond reason. So glad to finally see her smile for a change instead of snapping at us whenever we ask her a question. I'm sure her love will keep her busy for the next few days settling back into the routine of everyday things. Won't be long and she will be back and fluttering around spreading Joy everywhere she goes.
Not sure if I ever told you how I conceived my kids but here goes! If someone had a birthday party that I happened to attend be it my child or someone elses child and I held a newborn? I was sure to turn up pregnant by the end of the month. Now with that concept in mind I set the stage for my attack on the Angel Child and her hubs! Yep you guessed it! I staged a baby making party! I made sure the Angel Child held a baby at my great niece's 4th birthday party last Saturday! Yep sure did! And with a little luck I might get to be a grandma soon! Who knows! I figure if it don't work I'll have to get her hubs involved and you know whenever we get the hubs involved it never works out like we planned! Oh well we will just have to wait and see won't we?
Speaking of hubs.....Hubs #3 is recuperating from his ordeal this past weekend. I am sure by now you have heard about him running about the yard beating himself about the head and shoulders? You haven't? Well believe me it wasn't pretty....It was freaking hilarious! Yellow jackets were out in full force and man were they mad as hell too! Apparently the Hubs parked his lawn mover over the nest and well...you get the picture. So once the Hubs became aware of the intent of the yellow jackets he made a bee line (pun intended lol) for the pool, my beautiful crystal clear pool......
Yep you guessed it! Turned that B#&!% pea green in a matter of hours! It seems our wonderful hot humid southern dog days of summer has zapped my pool of chlorine. Add one city Hubs covered in fresh cut grass (including his green grass shoes) stir with the pool vacuum and you have algae! You also have me flopping around the pool tossing anything and everything chemical wise I have at it! Nothing I have here seems to work so finally I admit defeat and take my little water sample down to Wanda our local pool specialist.
With whimpering and sniffling noises threatening to break out at any second I hand her my sample. She runs the test, the whole time telling me how important it is to do this and do that and soon she is speaking Klingon to me or maybe Greek? So I end up buying 60 bucks of stuff and stumble on back to the house.
It's a 4 step process to get rid of crud. You first have to had 2lbs of this stuff and then zap it and then in a big bucket predissolve this other stuff and then squirt 14 ozs of this other stuff and then wait 4 hours and add another 2 lbs of this stuff. Oh yeah and stir in between each ingredient. Did I mention I'm tired now? Funny how that works out isn't it?
Well lo and behold, the dang thing turned crystal clear blue again and there was rejoicing in the land, the birds came out and sang! All the little animals came out to greet me! I swear I heard them say "Woman, you've been in the dang sun too long! Of course it was going to turn back to clear, that is why you spent 60 bucks right?"
And with that being said I really must let you know that's the way I see it! God Bless and take care til we meet again.
