Bambi

They killed Bambi in my backyard. Go on over to hubby's blog to see the proof.

This, too

We have eggs that are due to hatch on Halloween. Philip wants to know if after they hatch, ON HALLOWEEN, can he put up the Christmas tree. Yes, they, the tree and incubator, both occupy the same space. What do you think? I can't remember if he put it up before Halloween last year or not. This is what happens when you don't have trick or treating to look forward to. I know the outside decorations went up in the middle of October. FYI, I published this 3 times and had to go back and edit because I didn't run spell check.

Post?

Does it count as a post if you change your background? I think so.

1st chair

My baby made 1st chair for tuba in band. I am so proud. He is, however, the only tuba player....

Domestic Goddess

I think the title says it all. In case u are in doubt, just let me say this. I AM 48 and FREAKIN' HORMONAL. Ok. Everyone should have the picture by now. That being said, I decided I wanted pie. Good pie which means homemade. So I decided to make a couple of coconut pies. I do not let people know I make coconut pies. It is a secret. I have never made a bad coconut pie. Until today. Put the pie crusts in the oven and apparently, did not poke enough holes in them because they puffed up like puff pastry. I deflated them while still in the oven. Proceed to filling. I scorched it. BAD. I was trying to pick the black stuff out of the filling. I was mad because it was taking too long to cook so I decided to turn the heat up under it. I really shouldn't have tried to make pies. It just hasn't been a good day. Next comes the meringue. Genius that I am I am standing there beating the crap out of the whites when I realize the humidity is so high, there is no way it is gonna fluff. FINE. Make Clayton get a cookie sheet to put the pies on because I overfilled them and I know they are going to run over in the oven. Tried to nip that mess in the bud. Tell hubby to stand there and watch them, like toast, just brown the tops. He asks are they supposed to be on fire.....

How do you know

I have asked many people this question. How can you tell if buttermilk has gone bad. I learned the answer today. The hard way. Just thought I would share it with you. For your own personal knowledge. If you get all your cornbread ingredients mixed up, reach into THE BACK (very important) of the fridge to get the opened buttermilk before you open the new one, pour the rest of the container of buttermilk into your ingredients, open the new jug to pour in some more, look down and their are LARGE amounts of gray green MOLD in your cornbread, you can pretty much figure out it is bad. Nuff said. P.S. This is also a good diet plan to follow. Promises to take away any and all appetite for a LONG time.

yes, i know

I haven't posted in quite awhile. Just really haven't felt like it. Am now homeschooling our oldest under the direct recommendation from his Dr. So to all y'all who say I was wrong before to take them out of school, (insert raspberry). nanner nanner boo boo to you. I was RIGHT and you were WRONG. Oh, I feel much better now. Said child, my oldest baby will be 18 Thursday. I don't like it. I have to take him to sign up for the draft. Yea, yea, I know they aren't doing that now and may never again, but I still DON'T LIKE IT. It's a momma's prerogative. Now I got that Bobby Brown song stuck in my head....it's my prerogative....I'll leave it here with you to get stuck in your brain.
