• It's me.  I'm here!!

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

  Time flies, eh?

  
  

  Yeah.  So things are going well, here.  Just trying to find a way to do everything..while still working 40 hours.  Well, not everything, Mike has been a huge help on his days off.  He's been wonderful.  We are starting Marriage Counseling soon, and I'm pretty positive about it.  We are now doing the apartment seperation thing...and although it's hard...it' makes me realize how much I miss him when he's not here.  We have bucketloads of baggage to deal with....but I think we are both ready to deal now.  Which is a good, good thing.

  
  

  Even with all the stress, of the last months...I find humor in things.  And these things, while happening, I thought.." Hmmm....I should blog about this"....but I just haven't had the time.  So now I'm going to try and remember as much as I can..and share it with you all.

  
  

  ~We had a wasps nest hanging from our roof, by our back deck.  It started off small.  Mike said, something along the lines of.."hey, it won't grow."...( we have really had no experience with wasps nests, obviously) ..yeah, it grew.  And grew.  And grew.  Finailly, at about the size of a football, we decide...maybe it's time to do something about this.

  
  

  Ya think?  Yeah, Duh.

  
  

  I come home from work one night, and Mike told me that he had walked over to it, and checked it out.  A wasp flew out at him.  And when wasp1 flew out, wasp2 took it's place at the head of the opening.  I thought this was really funny...

  
  

  Of course, it wasn't me the wasp flew at.

  
  

  So Mike and I were talking about it, and I was 'trying' not to make fun of him.  He had a 'bouncer' wasp fly at him.  We decided it was a wasp nightclub.  I named it " The Hive"..( I know, I'm so original).  I mean, it has little bouncer wasps...get it? 

  
  

  Wow, this seemed a lot funnier until I started writting it out.  Hmmm.

  
  

  Anyway.  So yeah...a nightclub...and the 'bouncers' fly at you if you arn't in 'dress code' .  Black and yellow of course. 

  
  

  Yep.  Funnier when I wasn't writing it.  Sorry...

  
  

  So, the The Hive had to be torn down.  It didn't have a building permit. ( bada bam.)

  
  

  But it was really cool, to take it apart.  We thought it would be cool for Emily to see it.  It was cool.  In a really grose kind of way.  Honey Comb type stuff, with larva, and tons o' wasps.  Along with lots that were about to be er..'born'.  I'm glad we tore it down when we did....it would have been way above occupancy limits.

  
  

  Okay.  I'm done now.  hehe...

  
  

  So then, last Monday.  We were working in the back yard.  We still haven't really done anything with it, since the storm last December.  If you don't know about this storm...look back...there are photos.  I don't want to have to link it, because I'm lazy.  So just look in December.  Okay?  Okay.

  
  

  Ehem...anyway.  So the yard was still full of downed trees.  and grass.  Really high grass.  We left it like this on purpose, of course, so that our cats and dog could have a natural environment. 

  
  

  Er...yeah.  Not really.  We just hadn't gotten to it.  But doesn't the natural thing sound better? 
  I'm digressing again, arn't I? 

  
  

  Yes, well.  Anyway.  I don't like spiders.  I know, who does, right?  I mean, I REALLY don't like spiders.  I can handle little ones.  But the ones under the big old logs we ( Read: Mike.) were trying to move...ewww.....

  
  

  So, it became the Spider Condo.

  
  

  Oh, I know.  We are that funny.

  
  

  Condo got destroyed.  It didn't have a building permit, either.  And you know what they say...." Location, location, location."

  
  

   

  
  

  Alrighty.  I'll stop.  Needless to say, it's one day at a time around here.  But the days are getting better.  We are wading through shit, trying to find the shore. ---so to speak.  But I'm finding things can be good, even while wading.  People can change, people can grow, and I can still find my path.  Even though, at times, I have to really squint to see it.

  
  

  I hope you all are doing well.  I still read you all at work.  I just feel too guilty about reading you there to actually comment, you know?

  
  

  Don't forget about me, okay?  I'm coming back soon.

  
  

  xoxo
