Stay Away Big Foot!

Do you know what I was doing at three o'clock in the morning? I was thinking about the beast that lives here on base. There are people that believe something lives in the woods here on base... I know you are thinking "yeah, okay crazy lady" ... Do you know why I am thinking about this at 3am? First the obvious, Keith is gone, the woods is our backyard and my mind is messing with me. Secondly I mowed the lawn that morning and went to dump the bag of grass from the mower into the woods so that I don't have to leave it for the garbage guys... I turn around from the dumping to walk back and there is this huge rusty tool leaning against the back of our shed, the side facing the woods. I am like " What the hell" So, then fear creeps up all over me and I do quick looks to the right and then the left. Nothing... I stand there looking deep into the woods, nothing, I look up, nothing. I am still scared, why is it there? I know, the creature left it there to use on me later during the night while I am fast asleep. Makes perfect sense don't you think?So, I made it through the night with the hall light on and the dogs sleeping in bed with me.... Then this afternoon I fetch my neighbor as she is getting out of her car... "ummm, sorry to scare you while you are getting of your car but did your husband leave a big rusty tool in back of our shed?" As she is looking at me like I am crazy lady she says her husband doesn't have any tools so no. Great... Just great... Why did the creature have to leave this tool in my yard while Keith is gone?
So anyway, besides being scared that Big Foot is coming to get me in the middle of the night there isn't much to tell. Em took a very long three hour nap. I say very long because after an hour and half I was bored out of my skull. Which leaves me pondering what the hell I did when I didn't have her... I slept a lot and got really fat... Hmmm, I think that is pretty much it! Well, I did work but I was done around 4... That is a whole lot of time that I seem to have filled with sleep.... So, I returned phone calls, read my Blogs, didn't clean, and didn't do laundry. Perfect!
Blogs, I have turned into a Blog Junkie... I have like 20 or so Blogs that I must read daily... I must! Not to mention of course writing in mine as well. I am such a geek.... But it so much fun reading other Mom's daily goings on... and getting to know these women. I enjoy knowing as well that I am not the only crazed mother out there in the world. Kind of scary that there are so many of us out there! LOL. Seriously though, it is so nice to sit at the end of the day and read about and share your own experiences being a mother. There are days when you swear you are the worse mother in the world and it is nice to be able to "go to" these groups of women vent and/or have a good laugh.
So, I guess that is all for now. I have to make a round of the doors and windows to make sure everything is locked up tight for the night!! LOL... Have a good one!
