RV's

Josh has been earning a little extra money doing chores his lazy mother can't quite get to.  He has recently earned $6.25 and upon being paid he took the money straight to Brian and told him it was for the RV.  Brian asked what RV and Josh explained the one we are going to buy. WHO NEW!  The Cochran buying a RV.... not sure where that came from.  I suggest its time Grandpa gets an RV and we head to the Unitahs....  just like good old Frank and Vera used to do!!! come on grandma you know you want to do this!

We hate flys!

Sometimes I feel like the universe is against me.  My house is full of flys. They are driving me crazy. I hate that they poop on my windows and blinds.  Mostly, because I hate cleaning my windows and blinds.   And they attack my piano students.  I think they are attracted to the vibrations from the piano.  Somehow, they know that thanks to our little house pet our back door is open 100 times a day and my kids love to invite them in by standing with the door open or just plain old leaving it open.  I guess we do live in a barn.  I have tried everything to repell them.  Bags of pennies.  They didn't care.  Bags of water with pennies. They laughed. Raid. They scoffed.  So, I  was so fed up Saturday I ran to Dallas Green's and bought those disgusting fly strips.  I thought that within an hour I would have a fly strip covered in flys and the pests would spred the word to their little friends to stay away.  It was horrible getting them hung up.  I had to use Goo-Be-Gone to get the sticky crap off my hands.  The strips have now made a mess on my door frame and dripped on my porch.  The flys are still everywhere around the door EXCEPT the fly strips.  I did catch one mosquito and a spider.  You can see at least 3 of the devils in the picture just by the bag of water.  Arrgh!

Zucchini....

I might have gone a bit overboard.  If anyone is ever in need of an good quick breakfast, stop by my freezer. 

uhhhh,

So, this morning Sam was leaving for the bus and I said, "Hey get back here."  He said, "What?"  I said, "You forgot something very important.  Every morning before you leave you have to tell me something."  He said, "What?"  I said, "Well, it's just three special words and it starts with an I."  He said, "Uhhhh, Igloo?"  I said, "Go to the Bus!"

It's a beautiful day.

Locker drama.

Apparently, now all female Jr high kids decorate their lockers on the scale of interior decoration.  There might be a business opportunity here Matt and Ash.  You could market locker wallpaper or something.    Anyways, after much stress, work, blood sweat and tears, and Mom tapping the dang thing shut and having to go back the next morning.....she now has an acceptable place to check her lip gloss.
