So much for quiet time.

The afternoon I thought I would have to myself only lasted one hour and a half.  Darn the bad luck.   The girls came back from swimming and the tv went back on (I shut it down the minute the car started).   Few kids these day seem to be unable to live without it.  I also think they are all deaf.  Sometimes I wish the was a button to locked the volume. 

I've come to the conclusion that everytime we bring in the cusions on the swing the impending rain goes right by.  If we forget them it seems we get a pretty good downpour. We got a little yesterday but still on the low side.  Well too bad.  Not going to ruin them to play "hide the cushions" with Mother Nature.  

 Must get to work around here.  Have to shorten some sleeves for Jodi's top.  It's her son's wedding reception Fri. so no dilly-dallying.  Of course, there's the everyday work to be done.  It's laundry day and you would think there were 10 people in this house from the size of the piles. 

You have a nice day.

  1. That volume control should be standard on a remote, the kids will come here, but they want to come at ten at night and blast it !!! crazy i tell ya. We will probably get a ton of rain from Isaac but we need it so no complaints, have a good day !

  3. Hot and dry still here. I'm wondering when the trend will end at this point. Having three kids of my own I know that it can seem like a lot of hustle and bustle but the truth is I feel really strange when they are not around...ironic perhaps but I've noticed I'm a lot less of a loner then I used to be. Bless you my friend.

  5. As a kid, I never turned off the tv. Now I hardly turn it on. There is nothing entertaining. I don't want to see other people's problems. I have enough of my own. I don't want to see a bunch of loose women throwing themselves at some guy they don't even know so they can be on tv. I don't want to see "reality" tv that isn't real at all...it's all scripted. When some guy that gets dropped off in the desert is supposed to try to survive, so he eats bugs out of a rotting corpse of an animal, but he acts like he is dying of thirst and hunger, yet there is a camera man there....and you know there is a crew because they can't "murder" the star of their show....it just all makes me want to throw up....the rot that is on display to our kids in this country day in and day out.....I just don't understand. "1000 Ways to Die"....all supposed to be "based on a true story"....about as based as someone died somewhere....that's about it. I could go on and on. Can't stand the stuff!!!

    Here, all you have to do to get it to rain is wash your car and water your yard....here come the rain clouds! (except in the middle of summer....no chance, no way!)

    I hope that's true that there's a special place in Heaven for a dad who takes his daughter shopping, because my dad did just that many times.....and he always let me buy more than my mom did. lol

  7. Why not get those all-weather canvas-y coushions?

  8. Of course I mean 'cushions'. I got some and they are great - I just take them in for winter.

  9. I think everyone's weather's a bit cantankerous Terry,
    It's a double - sided blessing being on your own, you've always got the house to yourself, but sometimes it would be nice to hear someone shout, Hi Mum. ..memories!
    Love the saying at the bottom. Terry.
