Wet just like the carpet in the trailer. Dumped 2 two and half gallons of drinking water on the floor on the way to Utah. Got it dried out and drove in the rain yesterday. Carpet is soaked again.

What Do You Say When...

Your son calls you after you have left for Alaska to ask if he can move back in. And he wants to move his stuff in NOW.
Three of your step-children refuse to wish you a happy Mother's Day.
You decide to try your aunt's recipe for saurkraut and you need uniodized salt and the only salt that you have is caked rock hard and you smash the side of it on the edge of the counter but you forget to move your finger out of the way and now you have literally half a fingernail.
You are traveling up the Colorado mountains in the Big Van with the trailor behind you and the accelerator pushed to the floor and you are only going 30mph.
Your son calls to tell you that he was trying to make a U-turn and got the van stuck on the side of the road and when you get there, he is stuck up to the axels in mud about 30 feet off of the road and you have to call a tow truck to get him out.
Your kids put hundreds of lightening bugs in your mom's hair.
Your parents have your son with them on vacation and they run off the side of the road and everything gets tipped over in the trailor but the TV is safe.
Your son spills an entire bottle of Indian Ink on your beige carpet.
Your son sleep walks and tries to pee in the corner.
You demonstrate faith in FHE by falling backwards off the steps while your family catches you and your youngest son doesn't make sure anyone is paying attention on his turn.
Your husband tries to remove the hot water heater and loses control because its too heavy and throws it out the back door and now your concrete steps are pulverized.
Your son drops the soap in the shower and bends down to pick it up and bonks his head on the shaving cream can and ends up with a scar that looks like Harry Potter's that lasts for WEEKS!
Your husband has the phone cord stretched across the room and your son bends down to duck under it and rams his head into the back of the chair, then screams bloody murder because he thinks he popped his eye out.
You wake your son from a nap to eat dinner and as he is waiting to be seated, he falls flat on his back and continues to sleep soundly.
You go to pay your water bill and while standing in line, you overhear the lady in front of you ask the clerk, "So... can we drink our water yet?"
Your front yard is discussed as a problem in a city council meeting.
Your son is accused of being a gang member by the city council because he likes to skateboard.
Your son gets "no skateboarding" signs put up in town and at the grocery store a town away.
Your son gets threatened with suspension from school because he started "Moccasin Tuesday"
Your son tries to complain to the school about receiving out-dated milk and honey buns and the Superintendent tells him that he has no right to complain because he is on the free lunch program.
You are on vacation and your son calls at 4 am to say that a drunk missed the stop sign and plowed through the fence and hit the big tree in your front yard and when the policeman arrives, he has to go to the bathroom and promtly pees on your tree.
Your kids excitedly describe to you all the different colors that a penny makes when they drop it from the top bunk and it lands on the prongs of the night light, and now you see all the scorches on the wall.
Your neighbor stops you on your way into the house to inform you that your son just lit the ditch on the side of your house on fire and all the fire trucks just left.
You decide to set off some bug bombs (because you live in Texas) and you forget about the monitored fire alarm and you can now hear the fire trucks off in the distance.
You try to hire a housekeeper but they all refuse because it is too much and you haven't even discussed pay yet.
You have about 200 DVDs stolen from you while they are at the church.
Your teenage son that just broke both arms needs someone to wipe his bum.
Your son is told repeatedly NOT to go outside without shoes on because you just re-shingled the house and he does, and you end up in the ER.
Your son gets a piece of glass wedged into his palm but the doctors can't get it out without deadening it but he can't have any anesthesia because he is participating in a drug study.
Your husband drags home yet ANOTHER Volkswagen corpse.
Your son tries so hard to rip a steering wheel out of a VW that he rips half of his finger off, and the steering wheel remains planted firmly.
Lightening flashes the same time that a deafening thunder booms and you see fire balls dancing on your walls and now ALL of your appliances are fried!
Your teenage boys get the bright idea to burn trash in the middle of summer when the wind is blowing during a burn ban.
Your kids show you a video of themselves putting a bra and panties on your son while he is sleeping.
Your son tries so hard not to throw up and covers his mouth so tight that when he DOES throw up, he squirts it ALL over the walls, ceiling, kitchen table and yourself!
You buy a brand new 10x12 carpet for the living room and your son throws up on it EIGHT times!
Your youngest son comes into the house crying, "I set the field on fire!" and you look out the front window just in time to see a huge billowing smoke cloud that resembles a black atom bomb behind your neighbor's house.
You are in labor when your loving husband leaves you to take a final exam and ends up behind a string of multiple-car pile ups because some farmer decided to burn his rice fields that day and he doesn't come home for HOURS and when he finally does get out of the wreckage, instead of calling you like a concerned husband, he stops to get a haircut so you end up getting to the hospital just in time, but not in time to receive any kind of pain killer or anesthesia!
You are sitting in the mall because you are starving and just bought some chicken nuggets and some teenagers run through yelling, "The levee broke!" and as you run out of the mall, you see everyone else running out like a movie and as you turn on the radio, you hear the buzzing noise of the Emergency Broadcast System and then you realize that you left your darned chicken nuggets on the bench in the mall!
Your leg hurts so bad that you use a wheel chair, you have an MRI on your back and head, an EMG, (and if anyone wants to do one on you, RUN!) a spinal tap, another EMG, take medicine that makes your back hurt so bad that you can't walk (not to mention, makes you loopy), go to an endocrinologist, a rheumatologist, two neurologists, a chiropractor, and get stuck with hundreds (or quite possibly thousands) of accupunture needles and NO one can come up with a diagnosis!
Your son is crying hysterically because he just tried to fight his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend but he missed and hit her instead and now the police want to talk to you!
You and your husband are on vacation and your children call to say that they just got hit by a hay truck and the car is totaled.
You see that a cop has someone pulled over in front of your house and being the nosey neighbor that you are, you look out to see it is one of your own children, THREE TIMES!
Your van filled with your eight kids breaks down in Far West and you are 100 miles from the nearest town and your mom & dad have their pick up truck but only a third of you can fit in the truck at a time, so you leave the older kids and try to buy a compressor with your out-dated credit card that you never use but keep for emergencies, and the car part that you DID get is the wrong one so you have to go back and get the right one, AND there's a harry looking storm headed your way! (Thanks, Adam!)
You are discussing how your son landed in jail and two of your other kids admit to being arrested too!
You tell your son not to go pellet gun shooting without his protective glasses and when you come home, you find that he chose NOT to wear them and now has blood pooling in his iris.
The lady in the front row in choir tells your husband that he can't sing and he gets up and leaves and YOU are the director.
You look up and see your husband engulfed in flames.

You are stuck in Austin traffic trying to get your daughter to her college graduation on time and she says, "I forgot my graduation gown!"

My Most Recent Movie Reviews

7/9 Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father: A biography that I streamed from Netflix. I absolutely LOVED this show. I HIGHLY recommend all to watch. Beware! You will need two or three tissues (even you men). (5/5 stars)
7/8 Juno: I really liked this one but Craig didn't. I thought it showed how Juno was quirky and immature in a lot of ways and yet was mature beyond her years in others. Of course, I cried. That always makes it a good movie. (4/5 stars)
7/1 Baby Mama: I really liked this movie. I laughed a lot and cried a little bit. Hilarious. Highly recommend to all. (4/5 stars)
