Sit, Stand or Lay?

That is the question!! In case that doesn't make sense to any of you that is okay. It sure makes sense to me. Without going into the gory details, I will just share with you that I had a certain procedure Wednesday that makes any one of these three options a challenge. I had jokingly boasted that I had no spare parts left but the colonoscopy found a couple that I didn't know about so onto the surgeon for more whacking. All will be great (in a few days) and in the mean time believe it or not I am popping pain pills. Too heck with the bravado act of being tough. Anyway, I have a good book to read. It was referred to my by #2 Cub and is entitled "Manhunt" about the 12 day hunt for John Wilkes Boothe after Lincoln's assassination. Now if I can just decide whether to SS or L.

I took the Cub to get her hair streaked yesterday. Her school starts next week. It is sure an interesting experience to shop for clothes with a teenage girl. I have mellowed considerably. As long as it meets the dress code at school, I can stand to look at it I guess!! Speaking of this Cub, she just cracked her Dad and I up the other day. We got a bushel of fresh corn and was cleaning it for the freezer and she helped. Corn on the cob has always been one of her favorite veggies. So a few days later, I took some of the corn out and cooked it and when I offered her a piece she stated, "No thank you, I never eat corn that has touched the stalk". Dad and I were both rolling in the floor laughing.

This is a very interesting group that I live with. The other day I started to town to get dog food. The Alien said, "I will drive you, where do you want to go?" I stated, "Orschleins" they carry Science Diet. He said okay so off we went. When we started down main street I kind of wondered why we were taking this route but didn't say anything. Then he turned to me and said, "Oh, you wanted to go to Orschleins". Again, I said yes. This time we headed a different direction. I figured he had a new route to try so I kept quiet. We drove up in front of Tractor Supply, he parked the truck and we got out. (Again, I am quiet). Just as we got to the door, he turned to me and said, "Oh no, I am at the wrong store aren't I?" I grinned and said yeah but they probably have the right kind here. Sure enough they did.

Life is always an adventure around here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until next time.

Like I keep trying to convence Ayla, It's not the end product that is the most important, it's the journey there that is the most interesting. Well at least with my driving lately. There is a lot to be said about short term memory loss. I can read the same book again and think it is the first time. ALIEN

Too funny but I can uderstand your cubs position, who wants to eat veggies that came from the dirt. Those cans or freezer bags are much cleaner :-P

Wow, been there so many times I'll no doubt go back. Got kids in trouble that way trying to get them to school on time but alas, they still didn't go to school anywhere near I was headed.

I know Mrs. Beans and I have always found a trip much more interesting and enjoyable than scheduled by simply taking a wrong turn.
