It's 7:30 and I already need a nap......

My man is home ya'll!


Why didn't it occur to me to give myself a day off before he got here? (slap self in head)





I left 5 hours early for the airport yesterday because I "shop" my way there. I went to Target and Khols. (we don't have them fancy stores here,in my podunk town)



His flight was supposed to arrive at 5:30.I had just barely parked and walked into the airport when he called me"where are you?"

The flight was half an hour early. We have an hour drive back home and what do you suppose the first thing my exhausted,jet lagged husband wants to do?


That's right ...go out on his boat!


One problem,I have been too busy to touch the boat since "girl week" ,so there is hardly any gas in it.

All the gas places are closed by 7 p.m. so we couldn't go far.



He hasn't eaten since noon, been up for 23 hours. We get back from the boat and I hear those dreaded words "What are you fixing me? "



(*ugh* tired old lady here, not used to fixing food at 9 p.m. )



"how about a sandwich?"

"only if it's grilled and some vegetables too."

Of course,my love :(


His cell phone started ringing at 4 A.M. ,those people over there NEVER seem to remember the time difference.

I'm freaking tired!!!


*******************************************************


I also got to spend a hundred bucks of my yard sale money on new bathroom rugs.That just doesn't seem right.


THIS is what happened to my old ones the last time I washed them .


So in case you've ever asked yourself "how long do cheap walmart bath rugs last?"




Assuming you wash them occasionally ,the answer is about 5 years. Well ,2, if you like to have a backing on them.


************************************************************

Not sure what our big plan is for today ,but we have 4 days before company starts arriving.
We have hubbys uncle and his girlfriend coming, then my 3 kids, one girlfriend,one daughter in law ,and my sister,her hubby and their daughter .


Right now this house is so clean and uncluttered you could eat off anything but the cat box!I have worked so hard I should be skinny.


I guess cleaning the boat should be a priority.


My husband has not been home since last August. Pity for him, his "honey do" list is quite long.It's not going to be a very restful vacation for him.


I should go wake him up right now and see if he wants to go clean the boat before the heat index gets up to 110 degrees. We're having a heat wave. (again)


I just went and asked him . His reply "I want a couple aspirin."

I take that as a "no" to cleaning the boat.


Well, I guess I'm on my own for the morning.


Have a great day Peeps!

Would you like laughing gas with that?

Hi peeps,


My man is home! Yay!
He got here about 4:30 , we were on the boat by 7.


It was supposed to thunderstorm so we didn't stay out long .We came back and drove over to Olive Garden. Naturally they were packed, as was every other restaurant in town.


We wound up going downtown to the "authentic German restaurant" ha ha . Authentic my eye! The food is about t.v. dinner quality. With a slice of good old American cheese melted on top.


One of the things I look forward to about England is getting out of the "grease belt" .If it ain't fried , it ain't food around here.


It's supposed to be pouring rain all day today so THIS will be our day off. Meaning my spouse will lay around on the couch watching the most boring t.v. shows on earth.I will try to finish the book I've been reading for a week now (between chores and naps)
Exciting! NOT!

I'm way behind on posting ,so let me think...what have I missed???



Oh yes, the crown. I have never had a crown before. My dentist had explained to me that they file down (drill down) your exsisting tooth to a little nub and then cement a fake tooth over the nub.




(This is NOT MY mouth BTW)



There you see a prepared nub. And some extremely drilled up gums.



When I arrived at the dentist I knew that shots and numbing would be involved. I was surprised when they asked me if I wanted some laughing gas. "Sure, sign me up!"



They put this thing over your nose ,like an oxygen mask and you breathe in the gas. Well, luckily they gave me the gas even before the shots.



It does lessen the terror ,of mostly anticipating the shots.It also made the 2 hours pass faster than it would have without it.



I recall saying "this gas is blowing right into my eye"
The reply "well shut your eyes."

DOH!



They cram your mouth full of the doughy stuff to make a mold of your tooth and then come back and glue in a temporary crown.



I was told "it may be a little sore, like a piece of popcorn stuck in your gum."



What they didn't say was "the entire surface of the temp crown will feel like rough popcorn, your mouth will not close normally because it is bigger than your real tooth, and it's going to drive you ape shit for the next month."



All in all , good times. :)
I highly recommend the laughing gas.

**************************************************************************

I guess that's all I've missed. The rest of the week was just cleaning and more cleaning before my hubby got home.





Mission accomplished!















(don't look at that closet)










Now my spouse can spend the week trashing it all.

He's really quite good at it too.





Any one have any big plans for today? Hope you all have good days in your worlds.

Luv me
