This is has been quite a strange year. And it isn't over yet! And I'm only talking about the weather. We won't even get into everything else that has happened. We had a rather big storm on April 1st. Our April Fool's storm. Now, we have a Halloween weekend storm to go with it. This is my backyard this morning. A bit blurry as it was still snowing a little and windy. We have about 5 inches out there. Since they were predicting 5-10 inches and, being in the mountains, we always get the … [Read more...]
Top 6 Things Not to Tell a Pregnant Lady Or…Things to Say That Will Get You Kicked
Disclaimer: Please pardon the grumpy/sarcastic tone of this post. I am home sick for the second time this pregnancy and am feeling pretty miserable. What is it about pregnancy that brings out the crazy in people? And I'm talking about the pregnant lady herself. I'm talking about all those around her. Its like as soon as someone gets pregnant, it is automatically acceptable to suddenly tell her how to live her life, what to do, how to handle her labor, and remind her how much everything is … [Read more...]
One Plus One
So it has been a crazy couple of months. We have had so many lumberjack competitions. We have had a hurricane. We have increased our chicken flock from six to eleven. We've done a little more renovating on the house. We have had a lot of house guests this past month. A truck with a dead clutch and the need for four new tires. A fender bender for the van. Crazy cats with fleas that were very difficult to get rid of. The fleas, not the cats I mean.And the biggest thing of all.Yup. We're … [Read more...]
Survived the Storm…Mostly
Well, Irene hit here yesterday after she turned from a hurricane to a tropical storm. My area of the state usually doesn't get hurricanes since we are no where near the coast. Well, this one was different. We got hit pretty hard. The highest count of those without power ended up over 210,000 throughout the state. For a state with our population, that is a very high number. I lost power here but only for about 5 hours. We live on a main circuit with a nursing home down the road. So we tend to get … [Read more...]
One for Tuesday…But It’s a Biggie!
Well, I can tell you that is was quite the weekend. We had a competition on Martha's Vineyard. That was an adventure in itself. Driving through the new, huge tunnel in Boston, trying to make the ferry on time, getting a little bit lost. The big adventure came Saturday at the competition. The day wasn't going great for Matt. Just not preforming the way he knows he can. Then came this crazy event called obstacle pole. I do have video but YouTube and I are having words at the moment. So bear … [Read more...]
Ran Out of Air
Summer school may be over and the regular school hasn't started yet but I just feel so busy. We have competitions every weekend. Four in a row of having to stay at of town for them. I'm so glad we are finally coming into shows that are close enough to drive there and back in the same day. I don't think I would mind if there hadn't been an air mattress fiasco this weekend. Our air mattress is about 4 years old and has always been wonderful. It never loses air. Or I should say, it never used to … [Read more...]
