My April Post

Seems I only make it here once a month anymore. There's just not enough hours in a day to do all I want to do. I'm sure a lot of us have that problem..too much on your plate. Some days after work, I feel beat up. My job is pretty physical and stressful and I'm not getting any younger.Thats where all my energy goes. I say I'm going to do this or do that when I get off but it never gets all done :-( I've been ebaying and working on the next yard sale and trying to get to my store and add some things, I need to place some ads, clean house, pay bills, feed pets, take Mama to her appts., tend to the rent houses...I need a "SCREAM" smiley :-)

Speaking of screaming, I got an email telling me about a lady that bought a pot plant. I think it was at a grocery store. Anyway, she decides she wants to transplant it and when she started getting it out of its original container, something moved..



2 baby copper heads had hatched in there. I had bought Mama some flowers for Easter and after I read that, I sat her flowers on the porch. :-) I never thought of that. We stick our fingers in them sometimes to check if they need water.

I killed one - a snake - not a Copper head last week. Sometimes when they empty my garbage, the lid comes off and I have to bend it real hard to get it to pop back on. It was raining on garbage day so I laid the can down til I could get the lid back on and it wouldn't fill up with rain. The next day when I picked it up to put the garbage in, the snake was under it. I started chasing it with my limb cutters, and when I hit it the first time, it raised its head like it was looking around. I thought Oh s---!, its looking for me so I kept on swinging and hitting it til it was dead. I picked it up with the cutters and put it in my trash can. I wonder if the garbage man got a surprise when he opened my can this time. That il teach em not to break my lid, huh?:-)

OK, enough about snakes. I'm going to give myself night mares.
