Itsy Bitsy Spider

Ok, here's the picture I want you to create in your mind. I am sitting at my desk. I am looking up information on Oncology online. My stress level is about a 7 on a scale of 1-10. The questions we were given are not in our books. I bring this to the attention of my instructor. Her reply is "Use your resources." This does not help my stress level. So I am looking through countless websites trying to figure out what is factual information and what is crapual. I have been studying all day and have about a million pages of homework. Yall with me so far? Ok, now the good part. I'm hunched over my desk, the house is all quiet, and I'm concentrating. I feel something on my arm, I glance and see this HUGE spider crawling down my arm. I let out a huge girl scream and did the squish and swish method to get this awful thing off my arm. The quiet concentration is gone. I look for the spider and can't find it anywhere. I sit back down and try to resume studying but now I feel spiders all over me. I keep thinking it must have been crawling in my hair. I have the heebie jeebies now. I have finished the majority of my homework though. This is a good thing, now I can devote the remainder of my time to doing fun things like studying.

Hoodini Dog

I want to take a minute to tell you all about Dragon. He is a very cute, loveable, and playfull chocolate lab. He is a year old this month and is the best dog I've ever had around children. He is hilarious when he sits in his water trough. He also runs and jumps in the cows trough and splashes around. My mom told me the other day she caught him in her fish pond! I can just see the look on their faces as Dragon is living it up in the fish pond! He's even been known to run down and jump into some nasty sewage... eeewww! Why aren't I keeping Dragon from roaming all over the hill you ask? Well, it's not for lack of trying to keep him in one place. I started off with a chain. This worked ok until he started breaking his collar and twisting the chain up to a point where he was going to kill himself. I got a choke collar thinking this would do the trick. Nope, Dragon was the one doing the tricks because I would come home to find the "choke" collar attached to the chain and the dog no where in sight. I tried getting leather collars, only to find that he would work them until they got loose enough for him to slide his neck through. I swear the dog must have a retractable head. I went to nylon collars, I've gone through three of different varieties and widths. He breaks every single one of them. I am unsure of what to do next. I thought of putting him in stocks but I think he'd manage to chew through that too. Maybe an electral shock collar. LOL. I remember the story of Travis and the shock collar! That's probably what would happen here. Anyway, I just wanted to share a fact about our loveable, wonderful, slobbery, water-loving, clumsy dog.

Walk the Line

Mary and I just finished watching Walk the Line for the second time. She loves that movie. I must say that I love it as well. It is so much fun watching Mary swoon when John almost kisses June but she tells him no. I love Mary so much. She is such a charachter. She has our whole day planned tommorrow. It should be interesting. Brenden declined to watch the movie. He wanted to watch Indiana Jones and not John Cash. I just don't understand why Indiana Jones would rank higher than Johnny Cash on an eight year old boys cool scale. Anyway, I am pretty boring, so i guess that is all for now.

Spring Break

This has been the best Spring Break ever. The kids and I have enjoyed it so much. We did so much stuff that all I've done this afternoon is sleep. I loved it. I am dreading this week ending. I got to spend some time with my guy, which was great. He is great, I'm more and more convinced of that each day. I am not ready for school to be over so that I can get my license and get on with things. It seems I have a never ending road ahead of me. GRRR! Ok, time for us to make something for dinner. Mary wants jelly, Brenden wants spagettio's hmm, I wonder what I'll fix.
