Inside-Out!

Please bear with me as I write a post that is more a stream of consciousness.

In other words not one bit logical!

My summer has been full of many interesting days.

Privacy was literally ummmmm NEVER!

I think I have mentioned a time or two that when I am too busy to think, I may do stupid things...

                                      

**Inside-out #1

You may remember a funny incident from the time I went grocery shopping with my mother-in-law. She neglected to inform me I had worn my blouse inside- out! She thought I would be embarrassed to know!

You would have thought I learned something…..Ha ha!

Well actually I did garner some knowledge after the summer ended.

****What I learned:

                                  
                                         

Do not challenge my Scotsman in front of all his cousins after back seat driving. Yes I did! I was stressed and was obnoxious. When he objected- I said cheekily, and with a smirk upon my face, “what are you going to do about it?”

He turned toward me and loudly shared he would turn me over his knee and spank me!

Yep, and loud raucous laughter ensued! Everyone just gave me heck…                                                                

“Oh so you guys are like that?”

“You read 50 shades?”

“Kinky!”

Hmmm you can imagine after my red face I just acted like NO BIG DEAL!!! After all I have said before…. "See that lap over there......I have been over it!"

Later, while relaxing I said something…I can't even remember what sassy comment…'They' said ooooh are you going to get spanked?”

After that... all bets were off…..I was the BUTT of a few comments.

**A close call:

Did you know that it is illegal to carry four adults in the back seat of a car? I never do anything against the law….at least on purpose. Lol. No I didn’t get a ticket.

When my life careens out of control, I begin to act scattered.

**Inside-out #2

I went to substitute at a school, and after being in class for quite a while TEACHING…I reached down and touched my leg.

I couldn’t process what I was feeling. Disbelief was what occurred to me first. NO WAY I THOUGHT! MY PANTS WERE ON INSIDE-OUT!!! How? Seriously, how is that possible? My guy had even sent me off with numerous threats to my backside and even a swat or two.

MEN!!! How did he NOT notice?

**Taking on more than I should:

                                         

One day while multi-tasking….being pulled in more directions then is humanly possible, (NOT AT ALL NORMAL IN MY LIFE….SNORT) I realized I forgot to pick up my nephew from school. You know the one I accidentally gave a beer to, thinking it was Coke!

**Serious but funny and inside-out #3:

We are dealing with some serious issues. Protecting our family is important. Sometimes you ignore the elephant in the room and deal to minimize the unsavory complications.

Anyway we had visitors we did not want in our home. The kind that leeches off of loved ones. We elected to go for lunch. It was all fine and dandy. Everything was ‘smooth sailing!’ Hubby laid out the ‘rules’ to help a loved one deal.

Walking out of the eatery…I looked down and laughed out loud. People were staring at me! MY SWEATER WAS ON INSIDE-OUT! However my first thought was an outraged….He let me walk out of the house with my clothes on in-side out-- AGAIN!! Poor guy. To be honest he was more concerned with keeping certain people away from his mother and our home!

**‘Distancing’ for us works:

My Scotsman is away for a few weeks. Our schedules do not match at all. His time is such that we can barely say hi. For us it is easier to deal and manage by allowing our time away to be free of 'love' stress. We certainly miss each other, but frankly the way we distance helps each of us focus on doing our jobs.


                               

*****And......Lastly......YAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!

To end I will say I am going to be working again.
I love teaching. However please send up some prayers that I learn to put my clothes on right-side-out!!

Thanks for listening,

Minelle

abby and Ami updates!!

                                                       
                                                   

Updates coming your way on two of our blogland friends!

I am sad to say abby is having a difficult time. She is very tired of saying that her healing is taking longer than expected. Abby wants to be back here with all of us!

Even though her surgery was a success, the doctor is perplexed by some of her symptoms. She is still having quite a bit of trouble with her appetite. Abby has been given the green light to eat whatever she wishes, but she isn’t tempted by anything.

They will give some new medications a chance to work and have some blood drawn, however if things do not improve she will return to the doctors in a week.

 Abby we are cheering you on! We want you back to blogging normal!!

Ami Star Song had her frozen shoulder defrosted!

Her words not mine.

However.... Ami being Ami, she was cooking, ironing and hanging laundry the next day!

 She says the pain is horrible, and she may adopt some creatively appropriate language from Cat.

 I know that she was tempted to do the home exercises a day early, but she refrained. Our girl is a mite bit impatient!

 She may be a bit grumpier than normal….so be patient Iol.

So everyone let’s surround these two ladies with a

blogland healing hug!!

                                                              

Please feel free to leave a comment cheering our friends up!
