THE DOG

Astro is about 10 weeks old.
we are still in the house breaking stage.
If you ask me, it aint easy.

The only thing I have manage to do was to make sure that he does not shit where he eats or sleeps,
which is a good life lesson.

Well he sleeps in my room and he eats in the kitchen.

But for some reason, he thinks AAES’s room is his own personal out house. I think he hold it in till he gets to AAES’s room.


THE WARDEN

The warden has flashed the neighborhood.

That right, my mother went for her daily walk and failed to noticed that one of her 42-C was hanging out of her slightly a skewed shirt.

THE ROACH

I am viehicly challenged,
I did not want a car payment. So I started car pooling with my sister in law. She lives less than ¼ mile away from me and works about ¾ of a mile away from me.
So I thought , great this would be perfect. I would help pay for gas and not have to worry about a car payment or insurance.
Ok with all good ideals there are certain draw back,
For one my sister in law has a habit of not throwing things away,
Why throw things away when you can just throw them in your back seat.
You name it and it is in her car.
Clothes, newspapers, paperback books, cups , empty potato chip bags, candy wrappers,. empty cigarette boxes, bug spray, perfume, plastic bags, you name it and it’s there.
So I had to impose a rule, no garbage in the space I was to occupy.
Well the only way to ensure that the garbage is kept to minimum is to clean the area my self.

But I did not want the expense of a car.
So I adjusted.

Well I guess it’s time for a change.
About 2 weeks ago I go to work, I was making my round, saying good morning and one of my co workers. The loud Porto Rican lady, say hay you have a bug on your shirt.
Now as I said before I am a city girl so when some one says bug, I am think a bug. A creepy crawly bug.
On closer inspection she finds that it is a roach. And as you know a roach is not a bug. It is a ROACH.
So of course she is not discreet. She announces for those people in the general vicinity that I am carrying a dead, flat roach on my back.

Now where did the roach come from?
Just for the record there are no roaches in my house, AAES would wig the hell out.
Have you figured it out yet?
Yes that’s right from my sister in law car.

So I guess I will just have to bit the bullet and go and buy a car. Some things you just can do with out.

Because I said so.

So my mother and my sister in law have been feeding the puppy from the table. This of course is a no no.

There is nothing worse than trying to eat with a dog trying to crawl up your leg.

The first time this happened the puppy eat so much that it threw up all over my blancket.
So I go around the house bitching and fussing., because my sister in law left and my mother is unable to bend over to the floor and clean it up

The next time I notice my mother and my sister in law feeding the dog from the table and of course I am ignored when I tell then not to. I proceed to pick up the puppy and put him on the table and let him have at it. I figured if they were going to feed from the table he should have his choice of dishes.

Needless to say they don’t feed the puppy from the table any more.

The things you gotta do..

Oh my, so much has happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my mother has arrived.
And that’s all that I have to say about that.
For now.

.NO POWER
Now let me take you back to the day of her arrival. That’s where is all started.
My mother flew in to Fort Lauderdale airport. On the 23rd of June.
I of course was running late. I had a serious case of CPT.
But I was not the only one, so was the airline.
For the most part it was uneventful. Ok I lied
While I am on my was to pick up my mother, I call home to check on my children.
My nephew informs me that FPL was at our house today and now we have no power.
AAES had decided to order some kind of of surge protection that they were offering.
Just to make sure that if a storm come all of our electronics would be protected.
Well I figure that if FPL was there then we would have power soon.
So I go about my business of picking up my mother and head home.
I arrive home at about 7:30 and guess what I still had no power.
And I was not going to get any, anytime soon. The power company had cut the power cable to the house.
This was of course after the shorted out my meter box.
They then informed my 15 year old nephew that there was nothing that they could do, and they left.
Well AAES arrived home about the same time that I did
And to say that he was upset would be an under statement.
He proceed to get on the phone and call FPL and find out what the HELL is going on and when will we have power.
He is informed that well since the meter is connect to the house , FPL is not responsible for the damage that was done, even thought they broke it.
So here we sit in the dark, me my diabetic mother and two television starved children.
And of course AAES
And it is the funniest thing, he is storming around the house, screaming at the power company, yelling at the kids and trying to figure out how much money he has to get a hotel room for the night.
But when it come to my mother, he stops in the middle of his tirade and says ever so calmly
“are you alright Ms. Harris”
Once she say yes, he proceeds to rant and rave.
Because Mr. AAES can not be hot. He needs AC.

It is a good thing that he has friends, one who just so happens to be an electrician.
We had power by 10pm that night.
