Bitten

       I was just bitten by a bug. Here I am, sitting on my couch, minding my business, listening to an online class, when.... "Youch!" 

       I reach to the back of my thigh and feel a tiny little beetle like bug. It instantly squashed. No bigger than the head of a pin and completely foreign to me. Now my leg itches and my mind itches right along with it. "What kind of freakin' bug is THAT? Gross! I've never seen one of those."

       Gross. I don't like being bitten by a foreign bug I know nothing about. I would rather be bit by a mosquito. At least I am familiar with them. It's like the difference between taking a lick of your kid's ice cream cone and that of a complete stranger kid's cone. Don't know who they are, don't want a lick!

       Yeah. My mind works like that. Strange? Perhaps. But don't judge unless you're willing to dump some of the crazy that runs through your mind! ha ha ha ha

Stepped in Something

Woke in the middle of the night in a total panic. I heard a door rattling and my daughter sobbing.

Went to her room to check on her and she was not there.

Followed the sobs and rattling to find her half asleep and fear stricken.

She had locked herself in the bathroom in the dark.

Hugged the badness away and had her tucked safely in

when I noticed the sky lighting up repeatedly. 

Turned on the t.v. to check the weather.

Major line of storms moving our way.

Went through the house to shut all the windows

and slid, barefooted, in a pile of cat vomit

on the kitchen linoleum floor.

Aaaack!

Cleaned foot and floor, 

prepared for storm

and tried to sleep.

Woke at 6am groggy from lack of sleep.

Found gazebo toppled and broke from wind,

pool cover had blown and spun and sunk in pool.

Woke teen for his summer job and headed out the door to take him to work

only to

Step On and Slide on A BIG SLUG!!!!!
again with bare feet...

Eeewww!!!

Wondering what this day is preparing me for.

Hmmmm.......

Since "things" happen in threes,

I'm thinking I should go walk around my neighbor's yard (he has a dog)

and get it over with!
