Well, it has been a long time since I have taken the time to blog something. I guess because maybe not much has been going on. The boys continue to be busy. Shortey went to Boy Scout camp. He had a good time. The A-Man has finished his first session of summer school for the high school. He know has a full credit of high school credit out of the way. Scooter has just been hanging out with me, unless he goes to school for a few hours. We did break away for some time at a local amusement park. It was a lot of fun. I have been finishing up my graduate program. It is nice to be almost done. The T-Man is still doing well. He has been "promoted" in duty, not rank. OH WELL! He is busier than ever, but enjoying it somewhat. He is just ready to be back home. I got a note from him today. He said he couldn't wait to get back to his regular job; more physical activity, which he likes, and obviously closer to home.
Okay, for the highlights of our last 24 hours. I was working on my projects, putting finishing touches on them, and I went upstairs. Scooter came up with me. When we came back down the stairs, there was a baby snake at the bottom of the stairs. I screamed; it went behind the curtain. Needless to say, we slept upstairs. I did try to get our cat to meow at it and catch it. That didn't work so well. I even ran the vacuum by the curtain and door, hoping this would scare it away. SO, I called a "critter catcher" today. It was going to be $200+ to have them look around my house for this snake, catch it, and set traps for others. I decided to go buy a weed eater and my own traps; $40. I got home and got out the mower. As I was mowing the backyard, I ran over a piece of ski rope, which is now completely tangled around the blade of my mower. I turned the mower over to untangle it, but the mower bagan smoking so bad and making a noise, I was sure it would blow up or catch on fire. Then it began to rain hard. I think the snake went back home because I have seen it all day. I tell you what, now I need to get a new mower, a varment catcher, and a new door without cracks. I don't want to know what other adventures I will get to deal with while it is just me and the boys. Hopefully, tomorrow will be dry so I can lay out the sticky traps along my back door. OH I can't wait to see what gets stuck on those. FABULOUS!
Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Talk with you later.

Wow! Can't believe you even stayed in the same house. I'm impressed. If it had been me and my (future..ha) child, I think Grandma and Grandpa would've had overnight guests that night. I don't do snakes!
One other quick comment... I like your playlist (especially "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing")! :)
Best of luck with your household tasks. Just remember if you're ever in desperate need of help with snakes... I am NOT your girl. However, any other help... give me a call. :) Luv ya!
