Wrote a song, like to hear it?

-

I’ve got the blues. 

Hope you can hear the music in your ears. 

And, please, forgive me in advance.

-------------------

Duh duh duh duh duh duh.

Out yesterday afternoon, enjoying the sunshine.

Duh duh duh duh duh duh.

My daughter goes “hey, what are those bees doing up there?”

Duh duh duh duh duh duh.

Look up, and what do I see? 

A couple wasps or hornets hanging out and staring at me!

Cause I’ve got pests.

Annoying bugs that want to sting me. 

If given a chance.

Cause I’ve got pests. 

And they’ve taken up residence.

Above my deck. 

Duh duh duh duh duh duh.

Now don’t you worry.

Now don’t you frown.

Duh duh duh duh duh duh.

Cause I’ve told my husband and he’s getting them down.

Duh duh duh duh duh duh.

Call the pro’s?

Nah, not him.

He assures me a hose will get to them.

And cause me much fear!

Cause I’ve got pests.

And they’ve taken up residence.

Above my deck.

Cause I’ve got pests.

And my husband wants to eliminate them.

All by himself.

Seriously!  There are 3 nests.  And I took this with my zoom lens – they are 2 stories up and hard to access. 

But go, they must, so I can resume my seat on the deck.

My husband is going to hose them down.  With a pressure washer. 

I will keep you posted on how THAT goes. 

-----------------------

In other news, my son is starting day 3 of a fever.  No other symptoms, just cranky and tired. 

Probably about time to call the doctor to make sure he doesn’t have an ear infection or something. 

He has been keeping us up at night and I am extremely exhausted. 

And I also feel today a little like I might be coming down with something myself. 

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

On the bright side, we continue to enjoy some beautiful weather this week.  Not quite Hawaii, but it will do. 

How is your week going?

I'm a bit concerned about your husband getting those nests down. If they're not active, fine, but if they're active....he better encase himself in protection.

This week is going much better than last week thank goodness. The sun is shining, and everything is right with the world. :P

Umm, one wrong direction with the hose and you're going to have some angry wasps. Least toxic option is physical removal. I put a link on your facebook page for some tips on getting rid of them.

Hope Eli feels better soon!

Oh no! That sucks! Good luck to him. I hope he's planning on being covered from head-to-toe in 'bee garb'. Eek!

I hope you and the little guy feel better soon!

Definitely enjoy this weather. Who knows how long it plans on sticking around!

You know...we had 3 days of fever, and it turned out to be roseola. I took the baby to the dr only to find out he was fine. She told me to watch for roseola (little red spots all over the body) or a viral infection. He started the fever on Thursday, and he had the spots on Sunday. They were gone by Tuesday. So, keep an eye out!

I hope things go well with the wasp's nest. Kind of scary!

I sure hope the fever is over. Enjoy the nice weather:)

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the bday wishes! I'm glad you led me to your site. Love the graphics! I'll be back!

As for your pests, not sure if you guys know this already, but if you wait until dusk the wasps won't fly around and you can spray them down without worrying about a swarm. Keep the hornet spray on hand just in case, but they can't fly in the dark.

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...
