Can bearly fit anything else in the garage!

I had a talk with Cain and all is well.  I understand now.  And yes....he is questioning all things.  And we are all praying that he becomes a believer....the tattoo will still be appropriate as he will always be stiving to learn.  Thank-you for all your comments.  This was a hard one for me and I was comforted my your words.

On to the weather.  Snow on April 19th in Northern Illinois?  Lots of rain and flooding.  We are by the Fox River but way up the hill and are in no danger.  My daughter lives a stone's throw away from the Rock River and I am concerned.  She is not.  I think she has had so much crap happen in her life that she just ducks and hope it goes right over.

Hunter leaves Monday to Hunt Turkey in Northern Wi. at his friends farm.  At first it was going to be for 11 days.  Now I heard 4.  Big difference!  I am hoping 11 days and here is why.  And this will probably sound really lame to you but I am honest enough to admit the truth - I get to watch TV!  I grew up on a tv watching family and my ex-husband and my late husband and well....Hunter used to comment about what he called my "constantly watching tv..".    Turns out that he is the one who watches it all the time.  As you know....we are down to one little tv in the kitchen.  And he is always in there and he watches everything I do not.  Ever the good wife....I try to get interested but here's the rub.  I CAN'T STAND CHANNEL FLIPPING!!!!!

So anyway.....let's hope he is gone for 11 days although....well, do turkeys like to play in snow?

This is one of two that we have in our garage.  Long story that pisses me off but I will keep it simple here.....who would want a stuffed bear if they didn't kill it?  Isn't that like buying a trophey that you didn't earn?

At least I took a shower.

I felt better yesterday having had no sleep the night before than I feel today.  My sleep last night was as fragmented as my dreams.  I have been watching TV all day.  Hmmm.  No.  I don't think you get it.  I have watched TV for 15 hours so far and I have 4.5 hours to go.

My candle sells more like root beer than root beer does!

Perhaps the fiction on TV has caused me to wonder if real love exists.  I am not talking not just about married love but all kinds of relationships whether it be with a friend, sister, parent or people in a group.  REAL love.  Not perfect but constant.  Someone who is always, always there for you.  Someone who gets you and knows your heart.  I sometimes wish I were an alcoholic so I could go to those meetings and the warmth and acceptance......Is it  Norman Rockwell thoughts I am having?  Or do people really have such relationships.

Tomorrow will be much warmer so I can open up the whole house and hopefully get the rest of those boards painted.

Yeah.  I know.  Can you spell loser?  Thaaaaaat's right - m-i-d-d-l-e-c-h-i-l-d.
