I know this is a strange title for a blog but it will make sense later on.
Have you ever gotten a strange and "obnoxious" scent in the house? You looked and looked and couldn't figure out where it came from. You even scolded the furry boys several times thinking they had made deposits in obscure places.
You burned candles, sprayed febreeze and did everything but power wash the room and to no avail. Just as you thought about putting the house on the market to get away from this "smell" you happened to notice a large white bag full of SOMETHING that the Alien had brought in and forgot to take to the storage shed. Are you one step ahead of me? Yep, that was the culprit. He had bought a bag or organic manure to use on the outside plants. Oh well, one thing about it, we do have variety at this place whether good or bad it is mostly funny.

New Day - Every Day
This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. What I do today is important because I'm exchanging a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; leaving something I have traded for it. I want it to be gain, not loss; good, not evil; success not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it.

Boring Subject
Well, I will give all of you an update on my endeavor today with a brand new physician. Mine that I had for 16 years is leaving private practice and she assured me it was not because of me, lol
Anyway, Dr. O reviewed my records and it was amusing that she could not hide her amazement at all that they included. She said, "Well at least you have a "good" attitude. Now I don't know how to take that, it sounded like that was about the only good part of me, lol
The Sleep Apnea test results were quite interesting. As is usual for me, I had a weird cycle. I do not have sleep apnea but do have trouble with my oxygen dropping below an acceptable level. In fact once it did it 13 times in one hour. The most interesting part of it to me though is the fact that I never went into the REM stage of sleep. Told you it was weird. Anyway, she has ordered oxygen for nightime and is sending me to a pulmonary specialist, yuk, more poking and probing.
Oh well, as someone near and dear to me used to say, "such is life".
Gerbeans' little blonde is here with us today. She is going to spend the night. She is really a trip. Very intelligent and perceptive.
Well, the playhouse is now history and will serve a much more useful purpose. We are moving it to the RV campground right across the street from gerbeans for ztuffy to live in. We plan to move it over Saturday and have a space reserved.
Sonic has had an awesome trip, oh to be young again. Now that I think of it, I was never that young!! The pictures are awesome.
That is all from the house of chaos for today.

News or Maybe Not
Good Morning!! And it is a beautiful day, well maybe a little warm but last winter I was anxiously awaiting these days. No, I am not anxiously awaiting winter.
This is going to be a good month. Lots of new activities to look forward to. Our cub is about to start to school (although I am not quite ready for that as she is a "no problems" person to have around). We enroll this week and school starts the next week. Today is a trip to the optometrist as I have noticed she can't read road signs until we get close to them. Her wardrobe is complete for the time being so that is a plus. After her tutoring at Sylvan this summer, she feels pretty good about algebra.
The Cub had a wonderful time on the mission trip to Missouri. She even sent me a text and said, "Thanks for making me come Mom, I am having a ball". She is a little timid and needs some outside stimulation.
Got to hold the great grandson a few days ago. He is so tiny but so perfect! I think God made babies so absolutely adorable because he knew the time and effort it would take to raise them, you think?
I got an application for one of the cubs sent in last Friday to try to get this "grossly" unfair mess with child support straightened out. He has actually paid over 50% of his gross income for four years and I have worked on this for six months. That old saying, "You can't fight city hall" should be changed to "county attorney" who I will gladly nominate for the jerk of the year.
The Alien and I went garage sale hopping this past Saturday and found out that everyone else's junk was just like ours so didn't buy a thing. Well, during this trip we met a friend who told us about an estate auction going on at the agriplex at noon. On a whim we went and boy now I wish we hadn't, lol. Usually two fairly intelligent people became utter nuts and came home with everything but money. The Alien finally got his (Remington replica) life long wish for a statue. His statue is named "The Cheyenne" and is an Indian riding a horse. He is so proud of it and actually it was a pretty good investment since he paid $400 and can sell it right now for $700. My purchases were probably not so wise. I got this medium size rocking chair (that supposedly was made in late 1890's, yeah right). It is such a weird shape and design and I love it. It is oak with a black leather cushion seat with a black tufted leather insert on the back. When we walked into that big building with tons of stuff, this chair just called out to me, lol. For my birthday, the Alien is going to have Papa D's rocking chair that I have, lacquered in black, for me to go with this rocker.
I will find out today if I have to go on oxygen at night. Boy won't that be a sight, the alien in his apnea mask and me with oxygen tubing running to a big machine, lol. I bet if a burglar came in they would take one look and run, lol.
Well enough for today - Be back soon
