Oh Lord no, I'm not going to quit blogging....but I must admit the comments were delightful! Where else on earth would I get this much therapy for $15 a month?
Exactly!
I'm grateful for the lovely comments because otherwise this day appears to be starting out to be....well, one of those days. I went to take a shower and was accosted by a HUGE (even Ernie admitted it was huge) jumping spider/cricket thing. I did the logical thing---screamed and leapt into the dining room half naked while Ernie, Bob and Hattie went after it as it hopped around the bathroom.
Ernie said we have a lot of them in the basement. LAST time I ever go to the basement to get laundry. HA!
Ernie managed to wound it and then Bob took over, capturing it and enthusiastically eating it. I stood in the dining room hoping the boys wouldn't come in while I was half naked. Normally if this happens as I've really lost all modesty I just casually yell, "hey guys, don't look, I'm naked" which results in Owen running over and staring hard at me between the fingers of his hand over his face while saying consolingly, "Mom, it's OKAY....I mean you've seen ME naked, right?" and Leo dropping to the floor and practically blinding himself in an attempt to keep anything like that from ever being burned into his brain. God I love those boys.
So the bug was eaten, I showered and then listened to Ernie and Owen drive each other crazy. Could the two of them BE more alike? Geesh.
Some more pictures of the Peter Case show. Thanks Richard!!!
