It happens in Threes


They say deaths happen in threes....and I know this to be true. It has happened at my house in the past week. My life is not the same.

The life of Mr. Vacuum Cleaner was brought to an abrupt end when he was viciously attacked and murdered by the family dog, Maggie Mae. The suspect in question saw fit to chew off Mr. Vacuum's life source, his plug, and end his magical electric power.
No more pushy sucky for this young appliance. The perpetrator was caught and punished. In her defense, she barked that that she was just doing it for me, b/c she knows how much I've always hated Mr. Vacuum Cleaner.

Another life was cut short when Mr. Shower Head leaped to his death late last night. Upon feeling the thrust of water pouring into his body, Mr. Shower Head just took the plunge and fell off to the shower floor below, leaving water to just pour out and not be dispersed in the proper way. He will be replaced, but not without great effort.

And another sad but true loss in the household this week...Mr. Hairdryer. When turned on to perform his usual duty, nothing but a "click click click" was heard from him. No air, no blowing.....and to make matters worse, it seems to be a contagious virus, because the neighboring hairdryer that lives in the kids' bathroom is showing signs of giving up the ghost as well. While she is still blowing air, she is no longer the young hot thing she use to be. Lukewarm would describe her efforts....not good for drying the massive amounts of hair on the master of this house!

Yes...it's been sad around this house this week.
Too many losses.

A murder, a suicide, and an unexpected death.

RIP my dear appliances. You will be missed..but not for long.
I'm off to Walmart to find replacements!

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
