Say "Thank You!" ...to a husband that has no issues calling me out. :P

Today is GORGEOUS!!! I'm so happy to have such a beautiful day! We would SO be out in it right now.... except Goober came home with a fever from school today. :P

Missy had this same thing over the weekend. No other symptoms, just a fever. Kinda a high fever too. Count my blessings for no pukies. Count, count, count!

This is our new fence! YAY it's almost done! Then I can clean up the dog bombs in the backyard and probably tell them to "GO OUTSIDE" and play. Well..... except right now that would be a slightly hard thing to do.

You see, the only way to our backyard at the moment is through the garage. Can we say Dum, dum, DUMB! We are trying to remedy that at the moment too though.

We just had these wonderful stairs installed.

They work great..... one problem....

You can't get to them. And the kids DEFINITELY can't get to them.

.

Yeah, gonna have to wait for the fence to be finished then the fence guy will get back to putting a railing on the stairs and opening the railing TO said stairs!

This is the almost finished side gate. Soon, I keep thinking....sooooon. All that needs to be finished on the fence are the latches for the gates and a couple of boards (I think... maybe some adjusting so that everything fits snuggly).

As for the other things mentioned by DEAREST... he would have to bring up the fact that I mangled a tablecloth I was making. How? you may ask How do you mess up a TABLECLOTH!? I mean... all you do is serge and do the edges...right? Right. Well.... I managed to serge off the wrong side of the tablecloth... the side that wasn't too long.... actually, the side that was TOO SHORT. Ugh. Oh, well.... at least the fabric is on clearance! At least I hope it's still on clearance.....

.

As far as the car goes. You know, the car that is paid off? Well, if it's not payments it's fix its. Friday Jer came home from work and informed me that the window on the car is hosed. Yah. It doesn't go up anymore... in fact the darned thing FELL down and won't go up anymore. grrrr. So guess what that means my dears? It means that Jer and I get the try to CRAM the thing into our garage... which was at the time, jam CRAMMED, with STUFF. Luckily we were somehow able to manage it. Well, come Monday we take the car in to have it fixed, and apparently to find out (as always) that other things need to be done as well. Supposedly we are supposed to get the car back no later than tomorrow night... supposedly. That's if another part doesn't come in wrong :P

So, THAT my dears is what has been happening lately. :) Say "Thank You" to Jer

(luv you honey!)

Grandpa's Funky Sense of Humor

So today my grandpa was visiting my mom. So I took a trip up there to say hi, since I haven't seen him in a long time. Probably since my step grandma passed away.

He is now living with his sister and her son and a little while ago he needed a new car. He was trying to get a VW bug that was diesel. Unfortunately those are hard to come by... so he decided to buy a Hundai. But being kind of quirky and having extra time he decided to take his "piece of shit" car (sorry his words) and turn it into a beamer. LOL He even went to the effort to get a license plate holder that was from a BMW dealership.

When asked why he would do that he responded "about 50% of people won't know the difference and the other 50% will think it's humorous."

That's my grandpa... the guy who responds the LDS bishop when asked what religion grandpa is "Buddist" or maybe it's "Muslim" now.... just for the reaction.
