while bub is out i told him i'd mow the lawn. well, it's been icky and rainy for days now and i haven't had a chance to do it yet and it doesn't look like i will anytime soon since it's rainy again today. the grass is starting to look like a jungle! gramps is coming to hang out with us till bub gets back, so maybe i can get him to help? even just to watch nuggie so i can do it? we also really need to weed-eat around the flower beds and such. i haven't ever used that particular lawn tool yet, anyone have advice??
so it's no secret that our house is infested with poison deadly scary bad brown recluse spiders. we've gotten them under control and thankfully don't often see them anymore. but when it's boiling hot outside, like it has been, they rush into the house again because - well, i don't know why - they just do it. i was getting ready to hop in the shower this morning and i lifted nuggie's bath seat up out of the tub and there hiding under it was a huge one! it was about the size of a silver dollar. eeeecccckkkkkk!!! and since i'm playing house all alone this week, i had to hike up my big girl panties and kill the darn thing myself. the old me would have put a cup over it and waited for bub to come home and kill it. i am so so so so SO scared of spiders! but, i had no choice, i had to kill it. so i squashed that bad boy and flicked him outside off the end of the fly swatter. ick, ick, ick!
shannon blogged the other day about 16 and pregnant. last night i totally got sucked in by it! everything she said in her blog was so true. but it's so like a train wreck - i can't NOT watch. it totally broke my heart. seeing a 16 or 17 year old girl handling such a huge responsibility is tough. the episode i watched last night was involving a girl who's dad had kicked her out when he found out she was pregnant and her mom lived in new jersey, so she had to move in with her boyfriend's family. the boy's mom was a spazz addicted to drugs and was just hateful to the poor girl. when the girl's mom showed up to see the new baby it was like looking at another teen mom - she was a wreck herself. this poor girl had no one. in the end she and boy of course broke up and she went to live with a friend. i'm so thankful every single day that bub and i waited to have our little family.
i also totally got sucked into 19 kids and counting last night. i know they're sort of different and old fashioned, but i LOVE them. they just seem so loving and sweet and all those kids seem so well behaved and mature. i want to be friends with them. then mrs duggar can teach me to make my own soap and how to actually get little kids to do chores around the house.
