Friday Randomness / BYOC :)

1. Let’s brag a little….what’s the best perk you’ve ever had in your job (current or past)? Any employment counts - even if you’re a stay at home mom – you have perks (and the hardest job ever in my opinion).

I have never really had ANY jobs that had excellent perks. I would consider these things excellent perks....massages(no fair Draz), nap times, free merchandise, getting paid for a whole day but only working half. You get the picture! Really good perks! My current job has good benefits. I have a good amount of paid time off awarded to me every month, and pretty good insurance! So, that would have to be the best I guess.

2. Do you ever lie in your blog?

No, never. I try not to lie at all even in real life! I try really hard to not even exaggerate or anything!

3. What do you wear to bed?

Sometimes I wear nothing ;) Sometimes I wear just undies ;) Sometimes I wear shorts and a tank/tee ;)

4. Where do you go for advice?

God! I pray about every aspect in my life. Even though it may be trivial, to me it isn't! Gran Gran, my 80 year old Grand Mother that I speak with daily and see at least 2x a week, the smartest woman I know who always tells me the truth no matter what! My husband, he always has the best advice for any situation! I totally get why people come to him all the time for council!!! My Mommie and my sisters, sometimes they just know you the best!

5. Repeat question. Make someone a superstar without using a blog award. What comment or blog stuck with you the most this week and why?

I have been through a rough week with haters, so I nominate myself! Can you do that???


Thank God for Fridays!!!!

It is days like yesterday....

It is days like yesterday when I come home and my grass needs cutting so bad it is this high.....

And my laundry needs to be put up so bad it is stacked this high.....

That I sit back and thank God for all he has done for me. For this amazing life He has given me and my husband. For all the small things in my life that I don't always take time to thank Him for. Like how much I love my Minnie Mouse key chain and key holder.

Thank you for letting me find and buy this key chain and key holder God! I love it :) It makes me smile!

I sit back some more and Praise God for His presence in my life! Thank you!

Then I go on about my night and head on to church. I come home and sit on the couch with Ant and watch a movie while I spend time with him!

And then, I smile and thank God again because I know my grass and laundry will still be there tomorrow!

It's the small things in life that aren't worth getting your panties in a wad for! It's the small things in life that are the best! Just remember to thank Him for those things too! :)

AHHHHHHH......snake

I have a "new" favorite show that I have been watching!!!!

Billy the Exterminator

Does anyone else watch this hilarious show??????

Here is a picture of Billy....

It's not a great picture, let me see if I can find another one......

Ok, here is one of him and his brother Rickie.....

I just love this show!!!!! It comes on AE if your are interested in watching.

This show goes along perfectly with my weekend....

I come home Friday evening after work to find my dog, baby Samson / 8 month old Boxer, not feeling so well.

I came home as usual and went to the kennel to get Samson out. Samson is kennel trained and stays in an inside big metal kennel during the day while I am gone to work, and I let him out right away and he has free run of the house and yard. Well, I knew when he came out of the kennel he looked weird. Then I took a second look, and it looked like he had swelled something bigger than a grapefruit and half of his face was swollen also. I panicked!!! I leave in a small little town and the vet's office closes at 5. There is no emergency vet here the closest one is like at least one hour away. I picked up the phone and called the vet, it was like 4:45 and begged them to stay open for me.....they did thank God!!! I just jerked him up, threw him in the car, and rushed him to vet. When we got to the vet they took one look at him and said he had been bitten by a SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness! He was inside the HOUSE!!!!!! Here is some pictures of Samson.....

Poor baby!!!

Thank God he is doing fine now! I am leaving work early today to go get him! He had to stay all weekend long at the vet's office so they could watch him and keep an eye on his swelling.

So, now onto the mystery of where Samson got bite at!!!!! Every morning about 6 am I get up and let the dogs outside. I did that on Friday morning also. They stayed outside till about 7:30ish then Samson went straight to his kennel and Ellie Mae (4 year old Boxer) went back outside to play all day. Ellie Mae is terrified of rain. Everytime when it rains she tries to get underneath the house. It has been raining here non stop and she and Samson have been going up underneath the house all week. I am pretty sure they were underneath the house on Friday morning also. So, maybe he did get bite while he was outside. Needless to say I tore my house up this weekend looking for a snake. I didn't find anyhting :( I have gone through closets, moved furniture, you name it. But, what are the chances of me finding this snake. They can get anywhere......

I am really worried!

The vet bill from this snake bit is costing me $289.65 I did not have.

We can't afford another vet bill!!!!!!

If anyone has any tips, I would love to know them!!!!!!

Then, on top of all of this I got super sick Saturday night. I hadn't eaten much that day because of all of the snake hunting going on. I had eaten some sandwiches aound 3 pm. At 10:30 pm I was making some corn casserole for church and decided to eat some because I was starving. At 12 pm I woke up so sick!!!!! I was shaking, like when you are so cold and can not be warmed up. I was freezing!!!! It took me like 2 hours to get over it!!!! I am hypoglaucemic, so I am wondering if it was my sugar?????? I finally went to sleep and woke up a couple hours later having an acid reflux ATTACK!!!!! Seriously!!!! I was hurting so bad!!!!!!

Thank God, I am all better today, just a little tired!!!

I had quit a weekend didn't I??????
