Boys and things that eat other things.

Posted by: Cindy on: August 31, 2006

I think God knew what he was doing when he blessed me with boys. I am constantly being grossed out and amazed at their decisions. Today at Wal Mart, I bought each of the boys a Venus Fly Trap. [ Think Little Shop of Horrors] We got home, took them out of the containers and [...]

Well, not exactly a perfect start to the week. I wasn’t feeling to well yesterday and was just sure it was stress or something similar. Boy was I wrong. I woke up a little after 2 with the worst stomach ache, and before I knew it, was running for the bathroom. This is not easy [...]

I have never felt so stupid. While outside this morning looking at the weeds with Kevin, I said “wow, this looks like Chili!” and then I saw the ristra. Man am I dumb.

10% chance of rain in the desert means that somewhere within a 50 mile radius it is going to rain like hell. Today the very center of that 50 mile radius was right over our house.
I will never again laugh at someone who attempts to go 50 miles an hour (but makes it to 20) [...]

This kid looks like something out of an Oliver twist book. Poor and hungry with weird clothes. Sometimes it’s downright funny what he feels comfortable in, but then again, it’s his skin!

 What a week.
With all of the crud that has gone on no wonder i’m dumpy.
The boys hamster died on Sunday. Fortunately we ruled it as ‘age’ and the boys weren’t that torn up about it, especially after they realized that their sorrowfull expressions weren’t going to get them a replacement. I’m done with rodents. I don’t care [...]

This little guy lives in the flower box by the mail box. They eat ants, and the kids love to play with them. I don’t dare tell them this one is still around. Did I mention they spit blood?
