how sad...

Laura, my heart goes out to you and your family at this very sad and unexpected time. That's all I'm going to say.......take care sweetie.....

Moster trucks.....I don't get it!!

I think my other half was baiting me a bit tonight. Mike sat down with his dinner in front of the TV......very strange as he's normally checking out the news on the net. Oh, I look over and see that the twins are playing games on Noggin....ahh, that's why he was here!!

Anyway, he sits down and true to male form...starts clicking away with the remote. Aaaaaannnnnooooyyying!!!!

He finally settles on Monster Truck....something. They were racing apparently but it just seems bloody pointless. It's a relatively small place to race and they're very large trucks with incredibly large tires...

Ummm....forgive me.....does that not make the small arena appear even smaller??!!

But, it seems to bring in a large group of people quite happy to do the wave while waiting for Monster truck #1 to arrive. And I even rate this on the ludicrous kind of sport front(eh, contradiction is terms???!) to be even more so than Nascar....how many laps do they go round before someone wins? No wonder they tail gate and drink!!

A man's love for his cat....

Awwww.....our damn cat still seems to be flea ridden. I couldn't figure out why until I read the flea shampoo bottle.....leave on for 5 minutes.... The last time Mike de-flead (or whatever the hell you call it) he only left it on for 2 minutes.... So he must have just taken them to a near death experience... Sort of the same as fleas being on magic mushrooms or something....who knows? I've never had those sorts of mushrooms.....just the sort that make you sick, ie off mushrooms.

So, Pogo had another flea bath tonight and Mike is actually in the tub with the cat (both naked) and he's divesting the cat of his little friends. (no, I'm not worried....Pogo's not his type. :)..... )

But much yowling and howling is coming from the bathroom as we, hopefully, send the fleas to flea heaven.

I have mentioned various flea remedies mentioned in todays tv ads but no, I don't know anything and we're using flea shampoo, dammit. Ahh the joys of a pig headed man.

More kids....tempting fate?!!

I just heard this evening of a little girl who lost her life.....

Scarey bloody thing life.....in some ways I wish I didn't have as many kids...does that make it mean you have more to lose?

Sigh...I can't get onto the womens site that lost the child and that may be a good thing as I just cannot imagine what I'd say to her.......

It sounds such a selfish thing to say but I want to die before my kids....

How very sad.....

Ladybums are haunting me!!

We were at the store today and in the aisle to get some shampoo.

Just passed the feminine products and Charlotte pipes up in her most shrill and voice throwing way....'Mommy, ladybums!! There's your ladybums mummy...do you see them.....do you?!!'

I had to agree that yes, I did in fact, see the ladybums but I didn't need them this trip....

How sad.....38 years old and still embarassed about feminine products!! Next time I'll just send Charlotte to the store!! :)
