You Will Not Worry!!

I got spammed a bit this week. I deleted them from my email but not before copying one I found amusing..

My name is Ervin.
I demand to reveal you a satisfying commodity to fix botherations with your companion.
You need to view and here he placed a hyperlink that I did not click on and ended with You Will Not Worry!!
I don't think he actually knows me, or he would never have said I won't worry. What a maroon. The link had an ending that makes me think it was from some other country, but I think the crappy grammar is a clue that English is not 'Ervin's' first language.

And my companion isn't causing me botherations. As I write this, he has been neutralized. He's snoring from the bedroom. :)

We went out today and had a picnic. It was misty and gray and chilly. We had a great campfire, roasted hot dogs and had some snacks, chatted about all sorts of things and just enjoyed being together.

I miss the kids, but the friendship I have with my husband is still one of the best things I've ever had. We always have so much to talk about. My favorite thing is that he's my biggest fan.

I think he's pretty awesome, too. I'm glad that the foundation we built in the 6.5 years we were married before having children turned out to be a strong foundation. Best person I know.

Downside of the day... forgot my camera. I got my cell phone out and took a couple photos, there was a log in the fire that looked exactly like a dragon. A knot on the wood looked like an eye, the heat caused the eye to weep. The end had a split that looked like a mouth, and because of the way the heat was going, the fire appeared to emanate from the dragon's mouth.

Why am I telling you this instead of showing you? Because I somehow did not save the photos in my phone.

::sigh::

In other news. Ants. Tired of the ants. From what I hear, we're not the only people being plagued this year. They're going nuts out at our school, but only in the areas that weren't sprayed with pesticides. There was a notice posted on the front door at the school saying which pesticide they'd used and why. (Carpenter ants).

The ones we have aren't carpenter ants. They're much smaller. But they're showing up in odd places where there is no food and there are no food particles.

I ordered some Terro ant bait. From reading here and there on the internet, it sounds like that's what I need. And since I have no small children and no dogs to get into it, I'm unconcerned about leaving it out.

This coming week is tie dye week at my school. We do it every year, every year it wipes me out and every year about mid week during tie dye week, I say, "What the HELL was I thinking???"

I will have to mix dyes tomorrow, find examples of the many types of shirt designs, find all the smocks and the table I need and the shower curtain I used last time and all the tie dye rags and the 5 gallon bucket and the rubber bands and and and and...

It all has to go with me on Monday morning.

On most days, my morning program is bigger than my afternoon program. And oddly, I have a large number of children who only attend mornings. So I'll be hauling it all out, helping kids tie and dye shirts, and putting it all away twice a day.

Good times.

I finally figured out one of the reasons I worry at night.
A smarter person would have figured it out sooner, I think.

All day long I go, go, go. In the evening, I am online chatting with friends and sitting here at the kitchen table drawing my little doodly stuff.

And at bedtime, all the input stops. I'm left lying in the dark with all my thoughts crowding into my head. The crazy train leaves the station and starts chugging around the track. Around and around and around.

During the day I just don't have time to worry.

So now I'm heading for bed. I *think* I might be too tired to ponder the mysteries of the universe tonight.

How are things where you are?
