Weekend

So how was your weekend? Did you do anything fun or exciting? I drank some homemade rootbeer(too yummy for words) and ate alligator on a stick. Let me just say..it does not taste like chicken.

A Serious Question

So I get this message on my phone to "go back where I fucking belong" and I wonder where do you think I belong? Do I need to be where my mom is? Where my dad is? I have one kid in California and one in North west Arkansas and one in Little Rock. Maybe I could jet around between the three of them. Maybe I could be with my sis in Austin or my favorite Aunt in Florida.Gee.. What do I do? Wait a minute the key word there was "I" -as in "I" will do what I want to do any damn time I please.I'm not breaking any laws and I don't need anyone's permission to live my life as I see fit. I will go any friggin place that I want to go.

Wooo Pig Soooeee

My son is a registered Razorback now. I've grown up calling the hogs at basketball, football, and various parties but nothing prepared me for calling the hogs in Fayetteville at the University. Its like nothing you've ever seen. No one does anything else. No one moves. If someone is praying, I bet that person stops mid-prayer to join in. God bless them hawgs and the boys in Humphrey Hall.

Warning to all Moms out there

Kids grow up.They leave home and just because you've let one leave doesn't mean the second won't rip your heart out just as much as the first one did.You'd think it would be easier the second time around. It isn't.Half of my tears are because I know I will miss them more than words can say and the other half is for pure joy because I know that they are following their own dreams. Do you remember the song by Jiminy Cricket? A dream is a wish that your heart makes...so I'll dry my tears and I promise not to squish any crickets.

Why I love Butterfly weed

I love butterfly weed because if you hang around it long enough you can take pictures like this.Lots of beautiful butterflies and lots to see.

Butterfly Weed

Butterfly weed is orange and is blooming in the woods now. Does anyone know how to transplant it?

Goggle-eye

The fish that seems to be the largest is a goggle-eye. I caught one of these too.

Trout

This is me with a trout-I caught one this year for the very first time.

Wednesday blues

Am I the only person that gets the blues on Wednesdays? Not as busy as Monday, Not as productive as Tuesday, and just not close enought to Friday.Thankfully Soldiergirl called and brightened my day-Thanks.

By the way

By the way, just want to welcome my first born into the world of blogging.

What I'm not doing this weekend

Can't really say what I have planned for this weekend but I will NOT be mowing grass or cleaning house. I will not watch anything educational. I will not pay any bills or read anything to improve myself financially. I won't be grocery shopping. I won't be going to the ball field or to the bank. I might paint my toenails or talk someone else into doing it for me.
