I may have flashed the roofers

Yesterday I got my new roof. While taking a bath during the process, my doorbell kept ringing and someone was pounding on my door. I get out because I figure the roofers set my house on fire or something similar. I then can't find my bathrobe. After searching and searching, I finally find it in the girl's room. The doorbell is still going, so I don't even try to look for the tie. I answer, and the guy tells me I need to get my car out of the garage, because they need to put the dumpster in. So I go and get the car out, I can't see at all (I didn't have contacts in, and didn't even think to get my glasses), there is wet hair matted all over my head and in my face. I see that I am blocking traffic, with the dumpster truck and my neighbors. I park the car on the street, and try to get out. The wind is blowing, and I am trying to keep my modesty, and shut the door, and scamper back in the house unnoticed. That didn't happen. I was keeping my head down, but glanced up once to see all the roofers on edge of the roof looking at the mess I was, and neighbors driving by gawking. All I can say is at least the kids were in school, and the roof was done by 1pm!

allergies

So I'm having allergy issues... I can't breathe!!! In the mornings I sound like a Disney villian. I am hacking like a carton-a-day smoker as well. And the cottonwood fuzz hasn't even begun to blow through the air.

Oh, baseball league that I don't want my son involved with. I emailed you with that information, and you didn't even seem to find a concern with it. If my son sets foot on your fields for a "practice" again, especially without proper protection, you will find yourselves defending your stupidity!

conversations with the girl

when you read the title, say it in your head like "deep thoughts, by jack handy"

me: (checking out my planet status) "why don't any of the guys I send messages to write me back?"

girl: "probably because they think you are too hot for them!"


I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!! SHE IS WONDERFUL!!!

serious weather damage

Last night we had a major hail storm... 2 inches on the ground when it was over! It clogged the gutters, and kinda messed up my house. The metal exhaust vents on the roof are dented, as are the gutters and AC. My deck lights are toast, just like my topsy-turvy, and my screens all have holes in them. So, I may be getting a new roof! We will see next Thursday... And my laziness paid off! I hadn't put out the deck chairs or grills yet, so they are undamaged! My neighbors lost shingles, their shutters are shot, as are those with vinyl siding. It was hail like I'd never seen! I saw a few tennis/baseballs in the consistent golf balls! Amazing! Unfortunately there is no zing to your fillings like I thought when you eat the hail, but it's worth it to try!

One day with temps over 80, 2 days near, a damaging storm.... I am DONE cooking! Summer meal schedule is here! Sandwiches or cereal, you decide! Darn, I was just reminded about the chore chart dinner... I guess I will be cooking at least one meal a week.

worst/best april fool

So the girl gets in the car from school and says, "the nurse checked our heads and said I have lice." I try and catch my breath, say, "REALLY?" and start searching through her bag for the note. Then she starts laughing, says April fool, and tells how her teacher said it was the best one ever, and how she was right. Her teacher was right! I was ready to call my mom and tell her I was going to be at the hoohaa hotel and she was going to have to come take care of it. A mother's worst fear. Man the girl's teacher is good...
