night time guest

over the 8 years of living in our old house we have had our share of nightly visitors. you know...the ones that invite themselves inside, munch on your food, and leave a trail behind them! well, we had survived most of the summer until this last weekend. a new friend has come to visit. i'm not sure why he has chosen our humble abode. i mean the neighbors cat pretty much lives around our house, we have acquired a snake in our back yard, and our dog definitely keeps some rodents away. maybe this is all the cause of him taking up residence in our house. all i know is i can't stand to have critters sharing my space!!!!

usually we find him enjoying something leftover from dinner on our stove and then a trail over to visit our toaster and back....i got smart and moved our toaster up a level so he can't find it. and he hasn't. although he still must feast away on my stove top. i have scoured that top, bleached the top, and used lysol...but the little guy just won't go away. i have a weird issue with traps, but it looks like i will have to resort to ending the poor little guys life!!!

if only he'd just go away!!! doesn't he know he isn't welcome here anymore - or really never was???

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
