I got nuthin

I am postin here tonight to move that picture of my wife a lil further down the page. Other then that I really got nuthin. Long terrible day at work. Scratches down my back from a 19 ft long piece of 4 inch C channel. Suprised me more then it hurt, was bent over welding and grinding when it fell from the cart and nailed me. So, y'all take care and hopefully I'll be more insightful later on.

Now for the rest of the story...


Last night was one heck of a night.

As I was sayin, a pretty big field mouse was in the house, I was armed with a broom and a boot, right boot to be precise, I mistakenly told y'all it was my left one.

So, I had spotted my quarry at the end of the hall, under the mysterious black thing (I'm not sure what it is really called, kinda a combination coat rack/mud room). I handed my size 13 off to my drafted assistant and was plannin to pull the black thing away from the wall so she could smash him as he ran.

Unfortunately the rodent didn't agree with the plan and bolted while CD was lookin the wrong direction. The critter ran across her foot and escaped under the couch.

Much chaos!

Ok, same plan, different location. Dang, he ran from the couch to the Christmas tree. Hmmm

Unfortunately each time the nasty lil thing appeared CD would screech, cry and in general freak out. This musta inspired the dogs to join in the game cause Violet flanked the tree and Daisy set up a blockin position well down the hallway in case It got past Cindy. In my excitment I forgot to explain to the dogs what to do if it appeared. The mouse ran over the left paw of my beloved Blue Lacey huntin dog. She kinda shrugged her shoulders at me and sat promptly and gave me her cutest look.

Ok, new plan, from the tree, to the couch, to the black thing, out the front door. Ready Break!!

Time out, if we open the door, the dogs will run out and mug a random jogger.

Ok, dogs in the back yard, ready Wife?

Tree to couch, Check!

Couch to SCREAM!!!! "HE POKED HIS NOSE OUT AND LOOKED AT ME!!!!"

That is the plan sweety, now just back up and block the hallway we don't want him to go that way do we?

"Ok, I'm OH MY GOD THERE HE IS AGAIN!!!"

Ok, ready?

Mouse to black thing, check!

Black thing to front yard!!! Check!

Much rejoicing in the B house.

6 Months


Today is our six month anniversary! Don't really know what to expect at 6 months, my last go around at this wasn't exactly glorious. But, I do know it wasn't what greeted me when I got in from the job.

Tearful wife, shaken teenager, two lazy dogs.

I walked in and my wife gave me the "We need to talk" look, followed by "So..."

I sat down, not really in the mood for a so conversation. I was surprised when Trev interrupted his momma and told me what was up. He got home from school and went into the garage to help her pack up Christmas decorations. Unfortunately, when he picked up the crates he felt somethin kinda strange. Weirder feelin then that rope in gym class.

I wish I coulda seen the look on his face when he realized somethin alive had jumped onto him! He froze in place and a mouse fell to the earth at his feet, twitched a few times and died.

Cindy took over the story at this point and informed me she was afraid to enter the garage. She asked Trev to pick up the mouse, but he draws the line at vomit and dog mess. Poor kid, he's been a Haz Mat first responder since age 7.


We stop this blog for breakin news.....


A MOUSE IS IN THE HOUSE, CINDY IS SCREAMING, DOGS ARE CONFUSED, KB HAS ARMED HIMSELF WITH A LEFT BOOT AND A BROKEN-ASSED BROOM. MORE TO FOLLOW!

I just love the surprises a new year brings. you never know what that fresh year will give ya, hope for a better year then last, world peace, higher beef prices, lower diesel prices, plenty of rain, you never know what will happen.

The best surprise so far this year has defiantly been an email my wife received at work. It was from my mom's husband, wishin her a Happy New Year.

It came with an attachment and all. My wife opened it to find naked women pictures. They were usin various body parts to form the 00's in 2007 & 2008! I came home for lunch and she shared the email with me and wanted to know how to reply to this inappropriate email in her work inbox. I advised reply to it with a big ol' whut the hell?

About 20 min. passed before his reply came in. Basically A big SORRY!! I am so embarrassed , I didn't mean to send that. OMG! I forwarded the wrong email! I had two titled Happy New Year's! I sent that email to my wife's family in Iowa, work contacts and people in the Christian Coalition I do work with! Please forgive me, the one I meant to send had balloons and bunnies!


Heck, I think they both have balloons and bunnies!
