Pom-pom Snakes Taking Over!

Have you seen one lately? LadyBug is quite impressed with the size of them! Ha, it's actually PYTHON snakes taking over down in the Florida Keys. People release their pet Burmese Pythons to the wild and now they are becoming a problem. So there is a new task force that is being trained to catch them and they eventually want to train mailmen, meter readers, anyone who works outside to do the same. Hmm...we have a few friends who may want to find a new line of work if those things move too far north! Personally, I have no desire to catch any snake, pom-pom or otherwise!
Ok, I have to go buy my groceries now. Just had to hop on here and share that. Hee, hee, pom-pom snake! So cute!

    Oh, can't you see Papa Rooster catching a pom-pom snake while reading his water meters!!! It's bad enough just opening the meter and finding a rattler, but having to catch it!!! Yeah right. Can they really be made to do that?

    I can see it now:
    Job description includes: delivering mail in rain, snow, sleet, hail, or pom-pom snakes (which must be caught).

    Country Life Girl,
    There's no telling! Every time my FlowerChild says,"I have an idea!" I just think, "Uh-oh!"

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
