That creepy cellar hole type entrance thing

When a mother wakes up and she is sick, she knows that she can't lay in bed all day and be sick. Actually even before I was a mother I knew I couldn't do this. Once I got married the laying in bed being sick was over. Now the man, he can lay on the couch all day and complain that he doesn't feel good, that he is dying and oh woe is me. But when I would call off work sick, my husband would look at me and say: "The laundry needs done: Since you aren't going to work." I know, he sounds so insensitive, but he hardly gets sick so he doesn't understand. Hence the reason he says he is dying when he gets just a little sniffle.

So anyway, Jakob and Kadence are both sick also, so Jakob doesn't get to go to zoo class today, and I get to hang out in my Yoga pants. With Kadence sick it gives me a chance to have a reason to put her down for a morning nap so I might be able to rest.

Rrriiiiight...

I go to load wood in the wood burner and see that I need to bring wood in from the cellar entrance. Now, most cellar entrances have stairs. Not ours, it is just a hole covered with a wooden slat type grid door. From outside we throw wood down there, then go into the basement, open the door to that hole and that is how we bring it into the basement. It is a creepy hole. Spiders, hang from the door above and on the walls, spider nest thingys are everywhere and the floor is a covering of bark from the logs we bring in, which I am sure is teaming with bugs and critters. The wood is at the back of this entrance. That means I have to go in there to get the wood. I take a deep breath and go in, spiders descend, defending their territory. I work as quickly as I can picking a log up, throwing it through the door into the basement, picking up a log, throwing it through the door into the basement. I soon feel a drip on my lower back where my sweater doesn't cover the top of my pants. Ahhh, a spider is on me and laying its eggs in my skin. I will soon have a big huge bulb that will burst and tons of tiny spiders will come out and eat me as their first meal...

I really hate spiders.

Chore done. Good thing is I now have a runny nose instead of a stuffy one. Bad news, I am now a host to a million baby spiders.


I told you it was creepy looking. This is it after I got all the wood out. (The spiders are hiding, they don't like their pictures taken)

The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me. Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car. The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to wr...

the color yellow

I LOVE the color yellow. It is sunshine, happiness, bright, and fun. For the past couple of weeks I have been updating my kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls and re-doing the counter tops. The color scheme I picked is yellow, black and cream. Today was the day I finally got to paint the walls with the "applesauce" color I picked. YEE..OWZA. I have never put a color on my walls that made me doubt my sense of design and decision making in my home. This color is doing that to me. I love yellow, but is it right for my walls? I am unsure. I need to place the second coat on and live with it. Beginning to think I should have picked a very light warm grey color instead. Yellow is definitely Yellow...

The perpetual life of the unfinished project

My husband and I have not learned the most important message of "finish one project before you begin another." I have mentioned before that our house was not built the best, or even to code. So when we take on a project, we actually end up doubling the normal time it would take because we are fixing everything that we noticed wrong that needs redone. I don't know why we can't finish a project, I do know that Rick and I are easily distracted, or torn from something we are working on quit frequently...they come in three's. Let me take you on a little tour: This is our pantry door. The door was replaced, but the trim hasn't made it back up around the door. It has been like this for about 3 years. (notice the holes in the wall? the huge one was from Krischan hanging on the coat hook that was there and ripping it out of the wall. The other holes are from me removing the other coat hooks in wanting to move them to another wall, which has not been done as of yet....
