In Nova Scotia we have these large green bins that we put all of our organic waste in and it's taken with garbage pick-up and turned into compost.These bins are large and sturdy, big enough for a body, I suppose.
Anyway, this morning I am getting the kids into the truck to take them to school and my old neighbor is doing the same thing with her grandson. She starts backing out of her driveway, only she catches the green bin on the corner of her bumper and drags it FOREVER.
I think I peed a little. The noise was horrendous...I mean, how can you NOT KNOW you have a composter attached to your bumper?
Sometimes I think there needs to be mandatory re-testing for drivers once they hit a certain age.....
Okay, so obviously her hearing must be impaired, but lots of people have hearing loss and don't drag things around on their bumpers....there is the visual aspect not to mention the big jolt when she actually HIT the thing. I don't think I feel safe with her on the road.
Anyway. It was my laugh for the morning.
My parents and mother-in-law are coming to the island today and we're having them over for lobster dinner. Our lobster season actually starts today, so the traps won't be pulled until tomorrow...but there are other parts of the island that are fishing now, so I just have to go on a hunt for guys with trucks full of lobster parked on the side of the road.
It's cheaper to eat lobster now than it is to eat bologna. Figure that out! Seriously, they are $4/lb. Last week we bought 12 big lobster for $85. Tonight we need 18, mmmmmmmm....love the lobster dipped in vinegar....but I hate how I always bleed, always. Those suckers fight back, even after they are cooked.
I am trying to get Ty interested in using the potty all the time, but without any pressure...so being the creative Mommy that I am I picked him up this wonderful book called "Once Upon a Potty". We love it! We've read it so many times that Ty pretty much has the book memorized now, so I usually start the sentence and pause so he can finish it.
I wasn't anticipating his line, but the kid damn near killed me.
I read, "Like you, Joshua has a......." (The line is finished by 'body')
And Ty, without missing a beat says, "big bird."
And THIS is when it starts....mine's bigger than yours....I was almost in hysterics. And he liked my reaction sooooo much that he's been telling everyone who listens that he has a big bird.
I love my kids!
Thanks for checking in.
