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!

  1. 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).

  4. 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, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...
