Snakes and Biders.

By -

After dropping the girls off, I ran.

I went to bible study. I came home and felt pressured to mow.

Everyone in the neighborhood was doing it.


Before.


After.

Whoa, that was so subtle, can you even tell?

When I got done mowing the backyard, I grabbed the weed eater and started hitting the grass along the fence.

That is when I accidentally tagged


This poor snake. Ah man. I hate it when that happens.

I bagged him up and threw him away.

I mowed the front yard and then came back to check on the pool.

When I got the pool cover off, I discovered


This huge spider.

Ugh!!!!!! What is going on here?!?

I grabbed Autumn's flipper and hit him.

He died.

I also killed a wolf spider (not as big as this guy, but very fast) while I was mowing by the back porch.

Please do not let there be any more snakes or spiders!!!!!

After dinner we went to Walmart to get a light bulb for my scentsy warmer.

I also needed to get some cash so that I could buy Autumn's artwork from the school tonight.


Trying to get pictures was a little challenging.


A little better.


Millie photobombed.


Seriously. This is what I have to work with here.


OK, this one of Autumn is cute.


I do not know what on earth was wrong with Millie.





I wanted to tell you that Brett Peters (my Sunday school teacher) had his brain aneurysm removed today. He came through the surgery just fine. He is currently awaiting a room in the ICU and is apparently in a lot of pain, but it looks like he will make a full recovery!

I'm so relieved. I'm going to go and visit them on Thursday.

When we got home this evening, Autumn and Millie were fighting with one another.

I think they were just overtired.

Millie bit the tar out of Autumn.

I came really close to losing my temper, but instead of spanking Millie while I was so angry,

I sent her into her room.

I told her she needed to stay there.

Her response?

"How many years will I be in my room?"

I did not answer her, but I was thinking FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've already told them both they were to stay in their own beds tonight.

I need to get some sleep.

They are terrible to sleep with and my sleep is already poor.

So there you have it.

PS- Happy birthday Crazy Lisa!!!

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. XOXO
Day 15.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
