Mom Jeans

My mom's facebook status for the day:  

"Ok everyone....LAUGH OF THE DAY...at my expense. I wanted a trendy pair of jeans with the holes in them, so decided to do it myself. My son said just leave them on and be real careful. He said that way I can get them exactly where I want them. Well I now have 3 modest holey places and each has blood coming through where I cut myself on ALL 3 HOLES. My blonde hair is from a bottle, but those roots count too. Crazy me, at least they arent deep cuts.....and I didnt cry. LOL"




My mom cracks me up....

Fun Filled Generations

I am so lucky to be a part of a wonderful family.

Three generations of fun? You bet!

attack of the... what is that thing?!

my husband and I were cleaning out a closet the other day when something stopped us dead in our tracks

pardon my language but I am pretty sure we both screamed... WTF is that!??!  

A maggot colony?? A spider? An unknown species of creepy crawly something or other??!?! 

this is our downstairs "coat closet"... it has no light in the closet so I was trying to use the flash on my camera to get a picture of whatever the heck this thing was.  I was scared to get too close....

I immediately explained to my husband that I would not be handling this problem... HE needed to DEAL with this THING..... NOW!!

Well Justin was just as scared as me... so he went to the garage and got a shovel and his workman gloves.

When the thing fell... we both screamed like little girls!!!

I realize my camera quality sucks but I was finally able to inspect what the thing was.... and that is when I realized what it was..... can you guess?

Justin and I die laughing (but not before a few pictures were taken)....

turns out the creepy crawly, maggot looking thingy was none other than vanilla smelling potpourri...

HAHAHAHA.

Explanations

crying my brains out... :(

25 Jul via Social Beat

I had a lot of responses asking what was wrong and I never really replied to anyone.  

I was having a bad day. 

After coming home from an exhausting (but fun) girls trip to the mountains.... I saw that one of the doors into my house was standing wide open.  I could vaguely hear the alarm inside beeping as though it had gone off.  

I was scared.  

I was alone. 

My husband was away for the rest of the week.  

I called the police... they sent two cars right away.... 

The police walked through the house and checked every nook and cranny and found nothing.  

I was relieved but not convinced.  

Had someone been in my house? Did they hear the alarm go off and leave? 

I was a mess.  

I had put on my facebook status that I was out of town.  I know I shouldn't have done that....   Did someone I know try and break into my house?

I cried all night and didn't sleep a wink.  I was blaming myself and having a major pity party. 


 I was reconsidering facebook... reconsidering twitter... reconsidering blogging.  Do I put myself out there too much?  I am not exactly anonymous....  I still don't have an answer for any of these questions.... but....    

I am better now.  I have been a little more paranoid lately but am doing ok.  

Have you ever had this happen to you? It is definitely one of the scariest things ever....
