Mumbo Jumbo

I need a new hairstyle. I've had the same style for the past 15 years!!!! It has varied in length only ever so slightly. I would like short hair. Gary says no way, he likes it long......hmmm.

How likely is it for a plane/helicopter to crash into my house? This is a constant fear. That and Tornadoes. I could not sleep last night because I kept thinking with all that rain, thunder and lightning that there would be a tornado and the roof would get ripped off the house and we would all get badly injured. Last night was long. Oh and Nuclear War. This has been a big fear of mine since I was a child. We would be completely unprepared for a nuclear war, should one happen. This I worry about constantly. I need to make one of those survival kits.

I'm not one to complain too much about prices for things. It is what it is. BUT I did see that gas was 332/gallon today and that was at Wal-Mart. Oh and I saw a reserved parking spot there too for GREEN cars only. So now you get the VIP treatment at walmart if your car is Eco friendly.

Which brings me to this Global Warming. Do you buy into that? I'm not convinced and kind of think it's a sham. I know that is not a popular stance but I've never been one to believe in things just because it is a popular belief. I don't think Humans can ever be experts on the weather. To me it's all cyclical and we may go through periods of warming and then periods of cooling. Isn't it arrogant to think we "know" about the climate. Maybe I'm ignorant. Should we do all we can to take care of the environment? Absolutely. I just don't buy into the whole man made global warming rhetoric.

This week I almost electrocuted myself. I thought I would be nice and help Gary trim the bushes around the front door. I was not having so much luck whacking at the overgrown limbs with a saw so I decided to use his hedge trimmer. I was having so much fun with it....now I see why me like their tools, but while using it I accidentally cut the extension cord and it made this loud POP noise and then the trimmer just died. It took me a second to realize what I had done but once I did, I sure was scared. This was not good......and I was so dreading telling Gary because he told me NOT to use the hedge trimmer....something about it being dangerous, and he would take care of it when he got home, but I was like, " come on, how hard can it be" and then this has to happen. I gained a whole new appreciation for men and their tools. I kind of felt like Ralphie from A Christmas Carol.

Hannah has been home from school the past 2 days. I thought maybe she had strep throat but I took her to the Dr. and the test came back negative. Thank goodness. She just has some kind of virus going on. Her Dr. did put her on an inhaler though. She has had this wheezing in one of her lungs the past couple of months. The Dr. was hoping it would go away on it's own but it has not and she has this horrible cough. It makes me nervous though because I guess I am just a weirdo and I try to stay away from medications as much as possible. I prefer to take the more natural or herbal approach if possible. So this inhaler thing and the medicine scares me. I pray it helps and that she does not have to stay on it too long. I would hate for her to be dependent on an inhaler.

Well it was nice to sit here and veg, in front of the computer for a while. Bella is napping and Hannah is watching a movie. This has been a very tiring week and my body is feeling drained, but I'm extremely looking forward to Saturday!!!!!! I hope everybody has a nice weekend.
