Because I’m long-winded, even in Haiku. Geez.
[Written Thursday night.]
Ugh, I am so beat.
It was a very long day.
So ready to crash.
[Please ignore my zit.
Stop looking at it, I said!
My skin is 'teh suck.']
This afternoon, John
left for the road once again.
Only home two days. 
But, you know, at least
he was home for those two days,
and we had some time. 
On Tuesday we went
to this really cool lake beach
and we had a blast!
Recommended by
Meredith, and we owe her
big thanks – we loved it!
But today, John left.
Then Braden took a twenty
minute nap going home.
Car naps suck so big.
Someone should tell these dumb kids -
THAT DOES NOT SUFFICE!
He also gave me
another Scatastrophe.
I’m used to it now.
Lawn mower would not
cooperate with me, argh!
I kicked its ass, though.
Mowed most of the lawn.
Do not mow lawn in flip flops.
I know this… but, duh.
This one was not bad
once it was cleaned up, but first
there was so much blood!
I’m often reckless.
It’s probably the reason
I get hurt so much.
Anyway, to make
a long-winded ‘Ku series
a lil’ bit shorter…
Ugh, I am so beat.
It was a very long day.
So ready to crash.
Oh! Almost forgot!
Project Support Beauty in
Nature post up soon!
Next one will publish
Monday, April 14th, so
get your posts ready!
Mr. Linky will
be waiting for you to put
your U-R-L in.
Now, I crawl away…
time to sleep and prepare for
yet another day.

That was a lovely post. And I can’t say that I have ever mowed the lawn in flip flops. I’d probably cut off my leg, with the luck I have.

Clicked on the “scatastrophe” link and I just have to tell you, the third picture? Looks like the little artist drew you a poopy monkey with black bean eyes…….

Mowing the lawn in flip flops is like unprotected sex in a whorehouse. Sooner or later something nasty is bound to happen.

I’m feeling ya. Michael leaves on Monday, but has some work related plans this weekend. Sucks.
I’m hoping that soon there will be an end to these schedules but I know that it won’t be for another 9-12 months.
Regardless, love the beach. Wanna take me there when I visit?
Oh and….I will be posting for PSBN this month!

I’ll ignore your zit if you get M to ignore mine!! She keeps pointing to it and saying “Mommy HURT!” Yeah, great way to point out my flaws kid.
On the flip side I’ll be taking part in my first beauty in nature on monday! So excited!!

Sorry to hear that the time with hubby was so short. Hopefully he’ll be home again soon.
Mowing with flip flops? You are a brave soul. Glad it was just a minor scrape and no digits were lost!
Amen about the car rides and OMG about the Scatastrophe! I wonder if that’s a “boy thing” as none of my girls had ever given me too much trouble poop-wise (besides it overflowing the diapers) but I can totally see my son causing the same fiasco when he gets a little older.
Patty
I plan my outings around nap time (noon). I have to make sure he isn’t asleep in the car for more than 10 minutes or that’s the nap of the day. And I need my quiet time.
Just found your blog, I’ll check in again. Loved the “get along” post too.

Why do we grown women still suffer from zits?? I have one on my chin right now and it is so embarrasing.

Your right….car naps do suck…and then they won’t take their proper nap when you need them too……
Sue
Oooh, be very careful with lawnmowers! My best friend in childhood has nine toes now. Like I said, be VERY careful.

I guess I should mention that the lawnmower thing on my foot happened b/c I backed up into a hole in the ground that was lined with sharp rocks. So, OUCH but the blade did NOT touch me. That would have been GROSS.
SAM – of course, I’ll take you anywhere!
Sadie & SAM – I’m stoked that you guys are going to do PSBN posts! YAY!!!
clickmom & Jacki – I really do think it’s evil that grown women have zits. Wait… it’s evil that ANYONE has zits!
Junebug – Yes, it is very near us.

No flip-flops while mowing grass! Ask Mr. Hot – he without the finger.

I used to hate my dad’s stupid rule about not mowing lawn in flip-flops. Why would you need such a stupid rule anyway? It is hot outside when you mow the lawn! You wouldn’t want your feet to get too hot!

Kim
I hate car naps too! If I notice my little guy nodding off I try to sing and talk to him really loudly to keep him awake until we get home. I have even let out a sudden, loud “yoohoo” to startle the little guy to keep him from dozing. That is wrong isn’t it?

That’s awesome – I used to live right over in that area (Donelson) – walked by the dam every day for exercise. My brother still lives in Old Hickory. Other brother docks his sailboat over at Old Hickory Lake.
Percy Priest Lake – out on the lake in canoes, fishing for catfish. Or boats tied together in a circle, hanging out in tubes and skiing. Legend used to be there was an 8-foot catfish at the bottom of Percy Priest dam that waited for the idiots cliff-diving.
(Sorry – just reliving my days in NashVegas.)
