Our instructions this week were to write our haikus as if we were the opposite sex. Okay. Will do.
Conversations Between Men & Women
Blah Blah meat Blah Blah
“Of course I was listening!”
Smile. And, nod my head.
“Yes, dear!” smile & nod
Crap! She asked if she looked fat.
Banished to the couch.
How Men View the World
Ahh. Remote control.
Scratch my balls & [...]
I last left you at my BIL & SIL’s house, where my nephew dog had just bit my finger. I got a band-aid and we started chatting. And, lest you think my family is the only group of oddities out there, here is part three of the trilogy of posts from this past Sunday.
My BIL told us a [...]
Did you think that was the whole day? You didn’t did you? Cause that only took us through lunch. After that whole debacle I begged Puppy, Mr Rocket Scientist, to find some Agent Orange at work (If anyone has some, it’s the defense contractors, right? And, he does have that Top Secret Clearance for something, I [...]
The Puppy, the kiddo, and I went home to Houston for the long weekend to celebrate the 40th anniversary with my parents. We had a jolly little holiday, but there were a few minor things that should not (but will because it’s me) be repeated. This will be a strange story, but stick with me [...]

The last family picture at Christmas

40 years ago
You agreed to forever
A life together
Two kids, their spouses
A grandson who adores you
Great friends & blessings
I love both of you
Your subtle way of teaching
I watched you and learned
Happy 40th
To the best parents I know
Awe inspiring
The first people to hold [...]
I mentioned a while back how after about 15+ years of doing my hair, I was going all brown. This was mostly because being a SAHM means I don’t have the money to go and be so frivolous any longer. I just couldn’t rationalize it, not to mention I was just tired of constantly going [...]
Here’s my Erik Estrada wanna be at the Dallas Arboretum today.

My son is obsessed with construction vehicles, farm equipment, and most things that go. Motorcycles are certainly no exception. Every time he sees one when we are going somewhere he has to point it out. As soon as he realized the policemen today were [...]
I hate the news. It is only on the rarest of occasions I actually tune in for anything. People say, “Did you see that hell in fact froze over yesterday?” To which I reply, “Really? Well damn skippy! I guess I missed that one.” Likewise when a tornado literally blew neighborhoods into bits about two [...]

A new profession?
Lawnmower Avionics
Ah, boys & their toys

I’ll set up the pool
We’ll swim in it tomorrow
It will be warm then
First he feels spray
Gosh! That’s pretty cold, momma…
Then, we dunk the hands
Next, let’s stick in feet
Mom’s busy with the camera
So, I’ll jump a bit
Well, I’m in here now
Might as well get sopping wet
I look innocent
Notice his tongue’s [...]
There is one thing I’ve been rather concerned about the past couple weeks. Sweetie Darling goes through these temporary phases where he OBSESSES over one movie we must watch every day for umpteen weeks. Lucky me! I can recite them by the time he (and long after I) is done with them. We went from Cars, to [...]
