a hot summer day...

Well, the kids and I just spent 2 hours cleaning, hosing, washing, bleaching, squeegeeing, and flibberhanging the front porch! What a mess... But then I cleaned out their blow-up pool and let them play for awhile.







Watching them scream and jump and spray brought back some humorous rememberances of being 6 or 7 and filling the big outside garbage cans with water on a hot summer day! Did anyone else do this? :)
Just found out Tim has to work tomorrow, for the 3rd Saturday in a row! This is good because the money is really helpful, but golly we sure do miss him around here.
Please pray that he would be physically and emotionally strengthened through all this!
Also, I went yesterday to pick up our van (1&!/2 hour drive) and halfway home it started having trouble again! I had to drive all the way back and leave it again!! I just thank God for the warranty that we still have on the transmission!
Anyway, in the meantime they gave my another loaner (a car this time, for better gas mileage).
Well, kids are hungry for lunch and so am I, so I better get back to being mommy...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! If not, well, go jump in a kiddie pool...or better yet, fill up a trash can with water and take a dip!!!! :)

When flibberhanging one's front poach (let's get it right, we're in the south), one must always be careful to chaclang the chimichangas tightly around the falmations, lest they become loose and retornate, which will render them obliquate. Once they become obliquate, you would have to take them to a Darnegle shop to have them recominskated, a procedure more commonly known as plffdh. If you have a lisp, please use the word recominskated. It's more amusing to the retht of uth, and frankly, thtill cautheth leth thpray than plffdh.
Once you've succesfully flibberhung your front poach, beware of poachers (no relation to the garden poachers) attempting to fling poached eggs at aforementioned location, especially if your shalalaclimclangs are hanging their.
Either I really just wrote the word shalalaclimclangs, or the acid just kicked in. Wow!
You guarantee me no one else can read these things, right?

Lord, I miss Vietnam. Of course, we were spraying gunfire - but still fun, huh? Did anyone else do this too? :)

You know, the expression "find it or grind it" is just that: an expression. You're not really supposed to drive like that.

As of now your warranty is null and void, after checking the black box in the cockpit only to hear you say right before the problems started: "Let's see what happens when I do this".
