Should've just stayed in the bed!

Ever had one of those days? Well, that was my weekend. A few days of where everything I did went wrong and everything I touched turned to shit! No Gold for me, Midas, just the shit!

Not an overly busy weekend, but as always Monday is weekend update with me. So the best place to start is with Friday, no need to do a lot of skipping around. I am too old to do much skipping! heh!

Friday I got up and found a note from Little Miss, she was outside with mammaw......She had been up since 5am. Seems dad told her to get back in the bed, but failed to tell her to go back to sleep. So welcome to hell. She was ill a good bit of the day. The hellions were over at mammaw's so I was able to toss her off over there. I know, it was wrong, but I did it before she could do it to me! I managed to watch them in the pool and not kill all of them. Seems I am not a whole lotta fun, so they didn't stay in long. How much fun can you have when someone is watching your every move and knows what you are about to do and stops you.

Yes, Hellion#1, I know you are about to jump off the ladder. Yes, falling off the ladder is the same as jumping.

Hellion #2, the damn pool is 4 foot deep, no you can't dive off the float!

Little Miss, if you throw that damn ball out of the pool again, I will throw it in the garbage. No wonder there is so much trash in the pool, you never clean off anything before throwing it back in.

They played a bit and fought a bit but I let them spend as much time together as possible. The hellions and MIL will be in Gulf Shores for the next week, so play while you can. Please get it out of your system Little Miss, for it will be just me next week.

After the Hellions left, Little Miss was ready to go to grandma's, problem....Hubby drove my car. So when he gets home I run her right up there. My parents are down to 1 day of work and they can move in the new house. Now if they could get the man to do that one day of work. They have been waiting forevah!

Hubby was ill and said he was going to take a shower and we were going to town. Then he just sat there. I asked him if we were going to town. NO! OKKKKAAAAYYYY! Then he gets up and gets in the shower and bitches that I am not ready to go. WTF? We sniped at each other all evening. He bit my head off earlier, I had the nerve to ask him how he felt bad after he said he felt bad. I was wondering....headache, upset tummy, sore throat, you know....HOW. What I got was him screaming I don't know I just feel bad, you feel bad all the time! Can't I get a day when I feel bad? OK, pissed me off.

Then I sat down to check my email. He wants to know if I am blogging. *Yeah, because I always blog when he is around.* I told him no, I was checking our mail. He commences to tell me how he is tired of my blogging and being on the computer all the time. Excuse me? I rarely get on the computer when he is here! That is why I am always behind on my reading, why I don't do weekend posts, don't Plurk or Twit on the weekends. I told him I was tired of his bitching about it. My blogging and reading blogs was no different than him getting on EBay or his other sites. He shut up, no sense risking his computer time.

We finally get out the door, to go eat. He asked what I want to eat. A nice question but a question there is no answer to it. You see my husband eats fast food most of the week for lunch so he doesn't want McDonald's or Burger King or any kind of fast food. The steak houses around here are either packed or way outta range for my pocketbook. Same with the fish places. Anything I suggest usually gets a , "I don't want that." So what is the correct answer here? Apparently not, "I don't know." This sends him into a hissy about never having an answer. I explained how I always have my suggestions shot down. We end up at Captain D's. Not the best food in town, these people can't really cook and they are forever out of what you want, but who am I to bitch, I don't have to cook.

Hubby's mood improved, probably had something to do with having the house to ourselves and not wanting to screw that up. He goes to a little shop and spends about 50 bucks on things we don't need. OK, maybe we wanted them but we did not need them. Way to save money, right? I tried not to get pissed but it is hard when he does stupid things! The rest of the night went fairly well.

Saturday, I should have gone back to bed! Hubby decides to work on laying block for his shop, I decide to weed my flower garden.



OK, ignore the mess, it is why we are building said shop. To hide it! Not a good picture, I know, but the best I could get from the front.



This one is from the back, again, it is hard to get a picture of the area. But he is getting it done, SLOWLY!!!

This brings me to my flower garden.



See these little dudes? They are not doing their job! Unless growing weeds and tiny trees are their job! And besides he is an abusive little guy! Everyday I have to go out and stand her back up, I can only assume he is beating the hell out of her instead of tending my garden. I did happen to enjoy seeing this though....



My baby Crape Myrtle, it came from Mom's. She can root almost anything. I just put it out this spring, so she is doing really well! I also loved seeing this....



The itty dogwood I rooted! Now she has been at it longer, she came from a clipping, she was started last summer, but I just put her out this spring and she is thriving! And here is my newest addition...



A miniature Crape Myrtle. Isn't she cute? Mom started her about 3 weeks ago and now she has a new home! Here is proof I should never let my husband handle anything.....



Don't she look pitiful? He bent her and broke her. I hope she comes back!!! Right at this moment I can not think of the type of flower she is, but I will let you know if he killed it or not!

Now onto my arch enemy!! All super heroes have them and I created mine!



Dunt,dunt,dun......Mr. Turtle! I loved Mr. Turtle, I bought him at a little place that makes cement animals, I brought him home and lovingly painted him all pretty! I have kept him around for about 5 years now, his days may be numbered! You see, I reached across that rock, I so lovingly placed there for him to sit on, and pulled a weed and when I pulled my hand across to dispose of the weed, he attacked me!!! He fell onto my ankle! After I cussed him and threatened his very existence in my garden, I placed him back on that rock to think about what he had done! He must have felt guilty because he hasn't moved since.

Onto Sunday...... Again I should have stayed in bed. As I helped hubby with his block laying, I was picking up a few broke blocks and feeding them to the walls and one was a bit big to fit in the wall so I dropped it on the slab and it took a funny little hop and this happened.....



It looked gnarly when it first happened! It looks much better now. Outside of a bit of burning and soreness, it is OK.

We went to clean the office and there was an Air Show going on in town, we didn't go to it, but was able to see the planes from the office. Devilish Southern Belle has some great pictures of it, if you want to see them. Any way, we went past the Air Show about 10 minutes before there was a Micro burst and it killed one and injured 12. I know it could have been worse, but that is a scary thought. There was no warning.

And there was no warning when we went in to the Family Dollar to grab a few things and left our windows down and a sudden down pour happened! And of course we were parked FAR away!! So we both looked like drowned rats and then we went to the Piggly Wiggly to grab something for supper and we were soaked to the bone and froze half to death there! I do believe I should just carry an umbrella with me at all times!

Supper was pretty good though. We had really cheap steak! It's the meat that says steak on it, but I really doubt it could be considered a steak. It's not a Rib eye or T-bone, I am not really sure what it was, but it tasted pretty good. I threw it on the George Foreman. We also had baked potatoes and onion rings and fresh out of the garden corn on the cob. Not my garden, I don't have that kind of garden, but somebody does and they gave it to my MIL and she gave it to me.

I also made Zucchini bread, my first attempt at it and it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself! I had a lot of comments while I was putting it together, but when they smelled it cooking they were drooling and wanting it to get done. Over half of the loaf is gone already. So I guess it did turn out pretty good. I tastes a lot like banana bread.

Easy E came by for a little while. He seemed to have something on his mind. He spent a good bit of time with The Boy and Little Miss, not so much me and hubby. And when he was with us, he seemed distracted. I asked him how it was going with saving money for a down payment on a house and he said things keep coming up. Wifey didn't come with him, he said she wasn't feeling up to visiting. Has me a bit worried, he is always so happy go lucky. I guess if he wants me to know he will tell me.

And how was your weekend? I guess I should go for now, I have washing and cleaning that must be done. The house looks like a tornado ripped through it and hubby claims he is out of clothes. I hope he wore clothes to work today. heh! He says he has a long day ahead of him. Cement out of the way but 6 loads to follow that. He will be bitchy tonight! I can't say that I blame him though. So until next time..............

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!!!!
