WWFS??

WWFS? What Would Flylady Say?

I have been on my kids to clean up their rooms. I told them I was NOT going to do it. I have given up too many weekends to digging out their rooms. So the other night Zack came screaming into my room about there being a mouse under his bed. He said he didn't know what it was so he pulled on, what he would find out, was the mouse's tail! Yes, he freaked! Jim had to go in and lift up the mattresses so he could see under the bed and sure enough there was a mouse!! Mind you it was DEAD (not yet stiff tho') and it was caught in a TRAP!! So even though you can see the piles of crap in the boy's room, here's a picture!! ;)

Though we didn't see them do it, we are sure that one of our cats got a good laugh out of bringing in this thing from somewhere outside!

The next day we were visited by the biggest moth like critter I've seen. I've seen huge dragonflies and butterflies but not one of these. It was at least 3 inches across just sitting there. It too was encouraged to flitter about our house by our wonderful feline friends. Our cats must really love us, they are constantly showering us with gifts!

Our backyard must have heard me talking about how I love open fields of wild flowers, because it has begun to transform itself into such a thing. Minus the wildflowers! I guess it didn't hear the part about my allergies either. Before I left for the Trace Adkins concert I had spent several days watering the grass in the back, hoping it would come back to life from the dead, dried up, stickery, weedy looking patch we call our yard. I was gone from Friday to Monday and when I went back there on Tuesday, there were patches of "grass" (???) over 12 inches tall! The only thing was that it wasn't green, it was more like a wheat field! I asked Jim if they watered my plants and flowers and the "grass" and he said "I think Zack might of"!!!! WHAT?!?!?! Am I the ONLY one who can water the lawn and plants? The sprinklers are broken so I've been standing out there with the hose almost everyday (never can remember if we're odd or even on watering days). Several of my plants and flowers were dehydrated (to say the least). Thankfully most have recovered. I even have peas, strawberries and zucchini growing. My zinnias are starting to grow too, won't be long until they are bursting with color. Only 2 of my daisies have survived! They are my favorite, I may have to try again.
