Silly Sayings

To All the Fat Cats out There

Don’t bug me until I get my wake up juice!
If my eyes are open I must be dead!
Smiles outlawed until 2pm violators will be prosecuted!
Every time my lids open it hurts my head!
Beauty sleep is important, now go away so I can become pretty!
One third of your life is spent sleeping; let me try for a half!
Popping out of bed sounds good if I wasn’t so toasted!

Raining Cats and Dogs

It’s Raining Cats and Dogs

By Janeal Mulaney

Look over there a paw I did see

Look over here one is stuck in a tree

Look up yonder one fell from that cloud

Look for another the storm’s getting loud

The cats go flying through the air

The dogs soon follow without a care

A cat snags a man hat as it leaps to the ground

A dog lands on his feet and is homeward bound

Dings on my car where they fall and lay

I for one will never forget this horrible day

Question for the Day

T.J. asked me this question: Why does the sun go around the earth? And if we are on the top of the earth why doesn't the people in China fall off. Do they not realize they are upside down?

Riddle Solved from Tueday

The cowboy had the hicups.

Riddle of the Day

Riddle of the day

A cowboy walks into the saloon

Looks at the barkeep and orders a tall glass of water

The barkeep pulls out his rifle and shot over the man’s head into the far wall
The cowboy tipped the man five dollar gold piece then leaves

Why did the cowboy tip the man?

How many of you can come up with the right answer?

Song from Air Supply always been one of my very favorites

I know you're leaving
I won't ask you to stay
I won't hold you back
I won't stand in your way
If that's what you've gotta do
I understand

It's not that easy setting you free
But that's how it's gotta be
And as you're walking away
As I'm watching you go
There's one thing I want you to know

[Chorus:]
Just remember my heart's with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no one's there to hold
And you're all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday I'm just a heartbeat away, wo

Saying goodbye isn't saying we're through
Just know through it all I'm still here for you
Light a light in the window
When your lost in the dark, ooh
These arms would be happy to hold you again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling you know I'll be there

[Repeat Chorus without last line]

You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
You're leaving me now, but darling I hope
Hope - that you'll look back someday

(and remember my heart's with you...)

Reconstruction of an Old House

Reconstructing an old House

My daughter and I have moved back into the house I grew up in. There is a lot of work to be done to the old place. My mother had been sick for several years before she past, but had not let any of her family know until the last few months, by then she couldn’t hide it with the clothes she wore anymore. For the most part she had come to my sister’s and my home so we never really realized how bad her house had become. We knew she was a pack rat, but according to my mother she was straightening it out a little at a time and no she did not want or would she appreciate our help. So we left her to do it on her own.

Our first mistake, we should have checked on her and the house more often. After her death it fell to me to clean up her home. I was the only one living in our hometown by that time. After much discussion with my father and sister we all decided someone should be living in the house. I was the only one that could pick up and move.

Now my daughter and I are three quarters of the way moved in, with a ton of work to do not only on the house but also sorting through the things my mother left behind. Trying to figure out what to keep what to toss out and what to sell has been to say the least a nightmare. In the middle of all of this we also have to repair a roof that leaks, a tub that is worn out and can’t hold water, because of a hole in the side. Numerous things need fixed or replaced inside as well as outside the house. So where do we start?

I decided to make a list of all the repairs that I am aware of at this point and time. As I did I decided what was the largest priority at the moment and then took the weather and time of year into consideration. Some things I cannot accomplish during the winter months, like the roof. It will have to leak until we get some warm weather for a couple of days. Hopefully it will warm up soon and the snow and rain will stay minimal until we can get up on the roof to fix the damage. So although it is the most important thing at this time it had to be put below something else. With three small children living in the home who do not like to take showers became the priority so my dad and I have started to work on the walls the ceiling, and buying a new tub for our bathroom.

So in the middle of moving out of a rental house and moving into a home that I grew up in we also have construction going on. I feel over whelmed, but I know it all has to get done. In a time limit I have given myself as well as my landlords for the other house. There are walls to be built while others need torn down and repaired. Sink faucets that need replaced and cabinets that need to be refurbished.
