Maybe later

 It's been a month of Sundays since I posted a blog.  I always have shit to say, but never sit down at my computer when it is going through my head.  Now as I sit here I got nothing.... 

The valid points I argue in my head will never see the light of day or a white screen or even a writing utensil.  I swear I can't get my ducks in a row right now.

Maybe later.

Put the tools down and move away!!!

 Dennis had his surgery and he is not a happy camper.  He can't do alot on his own yet, but he keeps trying!  I have had to take lots of tools out of his hands.  Leaf blower, weed eater... the lawn mower!!  He is not use to sitting idol.  He can shower himself... but the good arm has to be washed by me.  Hopefully he will use the pool for some good therapy!  

The Day he got home... he was a little loopy!  But glad it was over.  He was brave.  I would have been a basket case!

This is him just a few days later... on a ladder, trying to work around the house.  I made him get down, but he  just went and got the leaf blower!

What's in a name?

The word ”daddy” has been used in my vocabulary my entire life. When my daddy passed away I still called Dennis daddy because we had kids in the home.  Slowly, as the kids get older and have kids of their own, I have realized there isn’t the need for that word in my live like there once was, and that makes me sad.  I miss having a daddy in this world.  I miss having little kids in my home and I miss the simplicity of the family unit when both were in use often.

Wishful thinking... But you can't have it all

I could create the perfect worker for the kitchen if I could put three of my cooks into one:

Bailey’s math skills

Terri Lee’s speed and determination to get out of there as soon as possible (or when her ride showed up.)

and Devin’s cooking.

That would be the cook to have!

Dennisisms

I am not sure if I can handle Dennis when he retires. He is already doing stupid shit and this is just day 3 of his vacation.

Dennis: Come here raven! There is a lot of water coming out of your bathroom!

Me: OMG! Like through the roof? (It has rained for the past 40 days!!!)

Dennis: I don't know!

Me: Why do I have to come look? What am I suppose to do?

Dennis: I don't know come look!

So I stop what I am doing and follow him into the bathroom where he has several water bottles lined up and coming out of the bathroom.

*Sigh* This is going to be a long ass 6 - 8 weeks!
