a hero for father's day

so i really wanted to write a post on my father...and i will, but in light of our morning here i wanted to share about how my husband is quite the hero in our little world.

i was taking my shower this morning. all was uneventful. i was pondering a few recent happenings and just enjoying the morning quiet. i grabbed my towel and started to dry off. i felt a poke on my elbow and thought that was odd. for some reason it was odd enough that i turned to look down. what i saw FREAKED ME OUT!!! i screamed - well i think it was one of those almost silent inhale type screams. it was a giant, black, hairy spider. no kidding...atleast 3 inches!! and very hairy. i threw the towel around me and jumped out of the shower. i ran into our dining room, still draped in my towel and rather wet, and yelled for hubby. he was upstairs and asked what i needed. i think he did sense the tension or fear in my voice and came quickly down followed closely by mapboy.

he looked at me a bit odd and then asked what i wanted. i led him to the tub and pointed. i told him it fell out of my towel and he laughed. seeing my great fear he smiled and said, "where's the camera?" to which i replied, "are you going to blog about this?" to which he replied, "oh yes i am!" when he got the camera he told mapboy to bring him a shoe, a big one. mapboy ran off to get the shoe, hubby took a picture, i still stood there in shock. hubby played the hero and killed the spider.

i am totally creeped out. in one week i nearly stepped on a snake in our back yard and was attacked by the big giant spider in the shower. i don't think i care to move to the country anymore!!!

i do think hubby regrets having killed the spider. but i don't....i want it out of here!!!!

I'm so proud of Kurt. Not because he killed the spider and saved the his damsel in distress, but b/c he's thinking like a true blogger! A blogger always is thinking about what his life in terms of bloggable events---and to get a picture, too--first-class. I look forward to seeing the post and picture.

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 ...
