Have you noticed that when I say I don’t have a lot to journal about it suddenly becomes a book? lol
Now…….addressing my sister’s last comment to my last entry…you didn’t upset me at all!!! Goof ball! Lol After I got both hammocks set up, I was like, we don’t need two hammocks…lol…and since we didn’t know the whole story it makes sense…but I did think about your kids flying off of it…lol…that wouldn’t be good…and you, being in the family way, shouldn’t be climbing into a hammock anyways…but you absolutely didn’t upset me!! Love you…
That being said, since we’re probably driving the car this weekend we may not bring it to you after all…
And I laid in the new hammock last night for a little bit…oh my heavens!
Well first of all when I got home, I put on my grubby clothes and went to weed the garden for a bit…I figure I should take full advantage of the cooler temperatures…so that was sort of pleasant…one lonely cow came to join me…he mooed at me a few times and so I started talking to him then a little while later I started singing…so he sat down to keep me company…(our garden is very near the neighbor’s fence line)….
So after I got bored with that, I went to the hammock to cool off…how relaxing! Then I went in and made dinner (pork chops, mashed potatoes and peas)…ate alone…husband was out gathering tractor parts lol…so after dinner more hammock time! Lol
Later hubby came home and ate and we watched the Last Comic Standing…it wasn’t as funny last night because I missed the palsy guy…he’ll be back next week…I’ve never watched this show before in previous seasons I mean…but anyway…I keep forgetting to journal this joke that a guy told last week…it’s one of the funniest thoughts I’ve heard in a long time…he said that he knew that it is the woman’s “duty” to cook…he said God made women to cook….he said think about it…women naturally make eggs and milk….they’re a freaking omelet! It’s only natural that they cook! I thought that was hilarious! (he told it much better…but you get the idea)
Ok…so while typing that part I just got some sad news…it wasn’t totally unexpected because after reading sister’s journal the other day about the lady she knows through work that had the vertigo and the inner ear infection and then was diagnosed with MS…the similarities were way too coincidental…well…my friend Pretty Chick’s husband was diagnosed yesterday with MS. He is home from the hospital and my friend Skinny Chick went and visited them last night and she said that Guitar Player looks really bad…he is wearing an eye patch because of the double vision…the doctor want him to start immediately on steroid treatments….so anyway…please keep their family in your prayers…they have a teen age son…and I don’t think there is a good age to find out that your father has MS…but I guess he just being a real pill and sort of out of control…
What do you do when your friends’ husband is diagnosed with MS? How do you be a good friend? She’s a very private person…Skinny Chick said when she was over there last night and Pretty Chick was telling her the news, Skinny Chick cried but Pretty Chick didn’t cry and hasn’t cried….thankfully, Pretty Chick has a twin sister who she is very close with…so I know she has a great support system in place…but I’m just at a loss as to how to be a good friend to her through this…I feel like I need to do something!!
On a lighter note….I’ve made my bed every day for almost a week! I’m trying to start it as a new habit, Fly Lady style…lol…I’m hanging up clothes that I didn’t wear and putting dirty clothes in the hamper instead of in a pile on the floor until time to wash em…all basic things to you clean freaks that are reading this but for a slob like me…quite accomplishments! Lol
Well…I’m going to post and call husband with the news about Pretty Chick and Guitar Player…I thank you all for your prayers!

So sorry about your friend's hubby. It must be devestating to her. I'll be praying that God takes such good care of that family and all of her friends. She might just need a shoulder to lean on!
Sounds like the hammock is going well....when are we invited down??? LOL!
Proud of you for making your bed. Yes, I was laughing at you...I make my bed every day.....and do laundry every day....blah, blah, blah......I was laughing!
Lots of Love!
Hey I am a fellow slob. I DO NOT make my bed, I only throw the comforter over it sort of nice when we have people over and even then we don't even come up here. My clothes are in a pile on the floor and "clean" clothes are laid all nice on one of the chairs. We need to stick together, we have strength in numbers, eventhough we are WAY outnumbered. LOL
So sorry about your friend. I don't have any great advice. The only thing I know to do to comfort people when they are going through rough times is to buy stuff. Food, supplies, little gifts to let them know I am here for them.
Your blog is soo funny, I thought your (his) joke was pretty funny too!!
How sad....and a little odd that we both know someone who was recently diagnosed with that. Those things usually happen in 3's. I hope this is different! I think you can be the best friend by praying for them....especially if they aren't Christians. Then they probably need the prayer support more. Also, little notes or dinner or something like that - unexpected - might be nice too. Just so they know you are thinking of them and they are not in this alone. It is hard when she is kinda independent.....you don't want to come on too pushy....but you want her to know you care. So, definitely pray!!!!
Yeah for making your bed every day! Hubby is now in the habit of making ours....since I am always gone....but he knows if he doesn't do it he will be in trouble when I get home..so he does it every day too. He probably wouldn't if it didn't bother me so badly. OCD...I definitely have OCD about stuff like that. One day he called me at work and told me he didn't have time to make the bed...I thought about it ALL DAY. ODD...I know!
Love ya!!!!!
I'll be praying for Guitar player and family. That must be so awful to deal with!
How nice that you bonded with the neighbor's cow! I bet he/she really enjoyed your singing and attention! :)
Praying for GP & family...what to do? When I had the m/c, one of my friends from church asked, "Would you let me bring you dinner tonight?" Instead of, "I'm going to bring you dinner tonight." Or even, "Is there anything I can do?" She was specific, and asked politely, and really it was a blessing because I didn't have to worry about it, but felt like she was really offering from her heart, not just asking to ask, ya know?
Anyways, those are my 2 cents!! LOL :) I got bored with my garden last night...but I REALLY need to go water them again ASAP!! :) LOL
