Looks pretty good if ya ask me.

OK, I am ready for it to grow out now! ;)

OH MY GOD!

When Benny got home last night, we sat down and ate our road kill. (Extremely good by the way). Anyway, after eating, we were laying there watching tv and the hair on his face kept poking me through my shirt. He decided to get up and go shave and shower.

It took him forever but I didn't think anything of it.

When he walked back into our room, I about lost it.

He shaved his head COMPLETELY BALD!!!! No hair, just skin!

I think by the time I get use to it, it will have grown out. His head is soooo white while the rest of him is very tan and I couldn't stop laughing. Not sure that was the reaction he was looking for. Toot kept staring at him and then she wouldn't stop petting him while asking where his hair went.

He is so crazy and that just makes me love him even more!

I don't have a pic yet because it is too dark for my phone (it's raining) and my camera is in my car and I'm not getting it (it's raining). I will get some this weekend and show you later.

Wild Hog

Sometimes Benny likes to joke around to where I can't really tell if he is joking or not. Last night was one of those nights. Here is our conversation through text.

Me: Almost home yet?
Benny: Yup. How does wild hog sound for dinner?
Me: Huh?
Benny: I killed a hog.
Me: What?
Benny: I killed a hog and want to eat it tonight.
Me: WHAT?! How?
Benny: With my truck.
Me: You have got to be fucking kidding me!
Benny: Nope. Meet me at the shop in a min.

I didn't really believe him until I looked in the back of the truck and yup, there it was. I was still very sceptical at this point (hitting an animal with your car tends to ruin the meat) and told him he was wasting his time. He said he ran over it's head so the hams and the back strap would still be good. So I watched to see who was right. Of course, he was.

I was tired last night so all I did was put it in salt water and go to bed but tonight, we will be eating wild hog roast. It is really good. Better than any pork you can buy at the store.

So here is my question, does eating road kill cross over into white trash territory even if it is really good meat? If so, oh well. I'm eatin good tonight!

Listen

I know you don't usually listen to the songs people play on their blog but you HAVE to listen to this one! First one on my playlist! It rocks!!!! Totally worth it!!!! Trust me.
It's not Merle or Hank Sr or any of the other greats but it is worth listing to even if you don't listen to country!!!
Trust me!!!! It will be good!!!!

BTW, Happy birthday to my brother!!!

This sucks

It just keeps getting worse.
My sis in law that is getting a divorce from my brother has been around as long as I can remember. I actually remember her better than my brother growing up. I really looked at her like a sister as she did me and we have been really close for the last 12 years. They were the ones that went to the races with us the other day.
She just deleted me from her friends on Facebook. That is how me and her always talked.
This sucks. I think I just lost my sister of 26 years.

I'm back

So that was a fun week and a half we just had. Lots of laughs. Now, we are all back to real life dealing with real life stuff.

In the last 3 days, I have gotten some pretty bad news. Nothing that really effects me personally, but people I love.

Found out Saturday that my brother and his wife split up for good. They have been together since I was 2 years old. They also have a 13 year old daughter that is being drug through this all and I feel so bad for all of them but especially her. This is going to be one nasty mess before it's all over. I can already tell. I wish parents would just always think about what is best for the children instead of how they can hurt each other the most. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't think like that. Glad I did and do.

Then, this morning, I found out that my dad's best friend's wife has to have surgery on her throat that will cause her to never talk again. Without the surgery, she would die. I can't even imaging what it would be like to know I only had a certain amount of days left to talk for the rest of my life. I just pray the surgery goes good.

So, after a fun filled week and then a very emotional two days, I am freaking exhausted! If ya would, say a little prayer for these people. They need it.

Little Flirt!

Well, Little Man had a great birthday. We all had a great 4th. And this week has been great.

We have company this week. Toot was so excited about who was coming and he got here Sunday.

She met him a year ago and I think it was love at first sight for her.

For about 3 hours after he got here, she stayed hidden and kept peeking around the walls to watch him. She is such a little flirt!

And this is where she has pretty much been every since!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Award and a birthday

I'm here but not really because I am camping right now. Gotta love having post options!

I received another award from Amanda. Thanks girl. You are too sweet. You are also extraordinary and awesome!!!!



And even though he doesn't read this'

Happy Birthday Little Man!!!!

And it begins

Benny is lucky enough that his company realized you can get just as much work done in 40 hours as you can in 40 hours. Kinda obvious huh! But, they do their 40 hours in 4 days instead of 5. Pretty smart huh! Works great because that means 3 day weekends all summer long. And, it saves on gas.

So, our weekends begin as soon as he gets off work on Thursday. WOOHOO!

This is going to be one full weekend for us. Speaking of that, I need to put my camera on the charger. Can someone remind me later? Thanks. Anyway, we are camping and heading out to the campsite tonight to make sure we get a good spot (holiday weekends are always full).

Tomorrow is Little Mans birthday and we are going to do all that fun stuff tomorrow plus hang out on the river. I finally got him the one thing he has been bugging me to get since the day they came out. I bought him a Wii.

Saturday is obviously the 4th of July and they do fireworks out on the river plus we have a kid friendly party to attend at one of the lake houses. With people I have never met.

Sunday, we have to get everything back home in time for the company we have coming.

And if that's not enough, Little Man had diabetic camp next week so I will be taking and picking him up everyday 45 miles away! I am going to be so tired by NEXT weekend. Which is Benny's birthday. LOL! It's never ending during the summer for us!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!

Oh ya, the 'W' on his shirt was for George W Bush. Remember, he has very political dad.

WOOHOO!!!!

I gotta say, this past month seemed to drag on without Little Man, but not too bad. Staying busy helped. Yesterday, was the longest day though.

HE COMES HOME TODAY!!!! I go pick him up at noon.

I am so excited. This is the longest I have ever gone without seeing him.

His 11th birthday is Friday (I was not thinking yesterday and said Thursday, oops). Here are a few past ones. .

This year we will be camping out at the river and taking the boat. He is growing up way too fast!

Bonus points if you can tell me what the 'W' on his shirt stands for in the picture with the knight.
