Memorial Day

It was a long weekend for this girl . Took Friday off to run some errands so I could do nothing for the weekend. Henry was happy . He even attempted sitting in a chair. Saturday was grocery shopping and to American British Antiques then to lunch downtown and walking on the river and on to The Coop to see some art and judge it. Which led us to shops downtown. We had seen some old Pyrex bowls at ABA . And we both wanted them . So we looked at other places . But never found them. Saturday night was nothing really.

Sunday came and Breakfast pizza was made. Me thinking I was having another chill day . NOOOO it was in the car we went to travel to Del Rio . Where it appeared it might storm at any moment. But it never did. We could have gone almost anywhere in 2.5 hours. And that’s where he chose to go. Where everything is closed . Chinto’s – Closed , Hardware store – Closed. Rudy’s open … The springs – open so to springs we went . And Henry played in the water I think he was on the fence the whole way . But once he figured out it was a fun thing he got over it. He stomped in the water , he attacked the water. And then he slept all the way home . And that was the big adventure .

Memorial Day flags where placed outside and we were off to check the garden cause in 4 hours the Airbnb would be gone forever !!! I now have squash out my ears . Huge ones. Medium ones, little ones. Lettuce , broccoli , peas. Pumpkins and watermelons are coming . I mean the plant is there , there are blooms, it looks promising . Watermelons might be late in the season . I’m not really sure. Pumpkins should be on time though .

The rest of the day was spent wondering if it was going to rain or not , storm or not . And it rained a bit but nothing like the radar showed could happen, it was nothing to right home about . I’m guessing 3years ago it was 103 by noon and I was sitting a crystal clear pool . Not this year . It was overcast and 65 degrees. And the pool definitely isn’t crystal clear yet . It’s on it’s way there though. We sucked up all the stuff off the bottom. That was a chore . Make sure he doesn’t get sucked into the drain , Make sure the pump doesn’t fall into the pool. Hold the hose and playing with the dog . I did whoops once and sprayed water into the neighbors back yard . At least it was just water. Nobody complained.

And then it happened the Airbnb moved out while I was back at the antique store ! And in true Millennial fashion he put his trash in the kitchen . A large sack and he could of easily taken to the trash outside. But no stuck it in the kitchen floor. And left the key on the table. Which I go find he made the bed. I question why people do this . Want to help strip the bed ! So I walk into the room to find the bed made , the new carpet black and grey . Confused by this cause he never wore his shoes in the house. I go to strip the bed and find the linens which appear as if someone colored them with a charcoal pencil. They now have been washed twice and it’s still there. Looks like I have to buy new sheets. The carpets look better . I put some stuff on them. The Shower has enough hair in it to make a wig. The child should probably eat more than Taco Bell. and last he went through 5 rolls of tissue in 6 weeks. WHAT THE HECK ! Well thankfully I’m done with Airbnb for awhile .

A week of weird temperatures for June . And nobody better complain at it’s 70 . But I bet they will.

And I’m so not into Miss Sour face today I want to knocker her so hard google won’t be able to find her. But of course I will not. I don’t look good in orange. And I’m not a big fan of crocs . But I honestly have No Fucks to give today . stay tuned.

So my darlings

Until another day

Henry , Henry , Henry

Henry has a new obsession . Sitting in cars , not wanting to move. Not sure if he’s decided Opal is more his style or what ? However one evening when getting my purse and putting water in the car he got right in the back seat. I begged . I pleaded , I bribed. I opened doors so he could hear his daddy pulling up . And Daddy finally arrived and he still didn’t want to move. I told daddy don’t be mean. He had a hard day and I’m not sure what this is about . He was kind and finally he got out. I think he has discovered that cars take him places. Maybe . Like you’re not leaving me here. Not sure what’s going through that noggin of his .

He clearly is feeling better cause he destroyed a foot scrubber , and attempted to eat a light bulb out of the nightstand lamp . Thankfully it was plastic or we would have been back at the vet. I would say this time he was mad he was left and I didn’t take him to work . Which I would love to do . But you gotta be sneaky about those thing. Miss Sour face fed him popcorn last time .

The Airbnb resigned which I’m not real thrilled about. Her money was going into my stash . And she sent an email to everyone she could in that hospital. And then they called a meeting . Which she never really would say what happened and maybe she couldn’t . But it slipped out . “All I asked them to do was count .!” And then I texted my sister . And her response was Hell no I wouldn’t work there, at the end of every op report the surgeon says “ estimated blood loss and all counts correct “ If something is left in a patient . Yes, the Doctor will be sued . but the hospital will as well because its there O.R and bigger money . The nurse will lose her job because she didn’t provide standard care. And her license for negligence . So she packed up her life and left at 9pm. Now she text everyday .

Babies . There seems to be trend lot of baby business in my I have one person adopting and I have one person having a baby in October. So baby blankets are in order . I started crocheting one. I don’t feel it’s very gender neutral . But it does say Baby . I have made multiple burp cloths . All that’s left is to find material for receiving blankets . All gender neutral ! Which I suppose is exciting . But wouldn’t you rather know ?

Saturday was a night of Music and Dance . As usual some dances were great and others I shook my head at . My date leaned over and said “this is really hard for you to watch isn’t it ? “ You have no idea. When you do Ballet for 16 years it’s hard to watch such little things that shouldn’t happen at their age. I thinking these girls only take from the one teacher and no summer intensives in the state or the nation like I did and the girls that I danced with . To each their own. So for girls in a pre professional level group . I’m on the fence . But Jude who we went to watch was super excited and even hugged us. Maybe cause we had bundts for her. She did really well. Proud not aunt moment .

Sunday it was planting more squash . There are someone people who request the squash flowers for dishes. I honestly can imagine them tasting like much . One swears he will make squash blossom soup . He said that last year . All he made were tacos ! Never the less we planted more. And the rest of the day was very uneventful .

We shall see what next week brings. I’m hoping for rain .

Until next time .

He ate my Shoe!

The weekend was short . To short if you ask me . Friday, we went home early by an hour.

Derek got a little job . I think he took it to get out of the house . Cause it certainly doesn’t pay much.

And today was the first day . Should be interesting . I can’t wait to hear the stories when I get home.

The Pool has had a leak for ever and now was the time to fix it. It was drained , pressure washed , and we got the super-duper repair kit and Derek was stressed out !!! And hey I would be to. He had to cut into the pool and drill holes scary situation . But it got it all done. And Saturday evening it was on to the filling and it filled for the next 24 hours. Can’t wait to see the water bill . I will say the highlight of the week was me posting a picture to Instagram with me standing at the deep end and tagging The Bucket List Family . There daughter always touches the bottom of the pool the ocean . And I just cannot seem to do it . So I stood at the deep in and there you have it just like Dorothy ! And they commented back ” Nailed it ” All in good fun .

Saturday Yvette and I took and adventure to Midland/ Odessa to find the laundry room needs.

So I was told the traffic isn’t bad anymore . He lied. Getting on the interstate was the worst ! But we laughed about it. Odessa was for the At Home store there we located baskets . Then on to Midland. But we saw a Joann’s and stop in . No luck .

We both wanted to go to Home Goods/ TJ Max and the place was insane . So many women I swear. They had nothing for my laundry room. Stopped at Michaels and we hit the JACKPOT on galvanized buckets . They had 3 . I thought I wanted 4 . But she said lets just get these and we will find another one. Then onto Target cause well it’s Target. You always got to Target. Target was a win for Pellegrino . HEB no longer carries the flavors just the sparkling water. Not sure if our Target does.

All the Halloween candy , costumes , decorations are out. Wonder how this will work this year. Are we throwing candy ? We saw a candy slide . Do you put a bucket it out ? Since Jordan pointed out nobody can sit in Santa’s lap this year. Not Santa photos . I guess unless you know a Santa and then you might be alright . But no mall Santa I would think.

Grabbed some lunch and headed home.

It was a good day trip . Mission accomplished too ! We found just enough baskets and tins . Score Us !

Sunday was LAZY ! Okay in my defense I took Benadryl . So no I did not want to get up . I cleaned floors and helped Ivie fix her washer . Apparently, the boys put their sheet and laundry baskets of clothes in there. NOOO!!!! How did they even get cleaned !? Is the question I have . But it threw the sensor off . So trial and error it was and it was fixed. And Hey don’t do that ! Derek made soap. And while I ironed . it seems Henry decided to eat my Birkenstock ! I seriously had just slipped out of them and there has been a cheap pair of target shoes in the floor for months and hasn’t touch them ! He honestly has chewed up anything really an ear off of a toy or a stick . He runs off with a sock but I grab it. But now we have moved to shoes and NO this is not happening . His daddy told him . Oh man your going to get put in the blog now. You went and did it . And here we are.

He ate the shoe and thinks I’m going to share the Rice krispie treat !

I suppose we will shall see what the week brings us . You just never know around here these days .

Until next time
