Does the avoidance of aluminum (or aluminium for my British friends) under my arms mean that I am doomed to clear a room when I reach for something high?
I think this green/healthy thing is getting old. I mean really, who wants to live longer if we can't stand the smell of one another?
House update:
We start our move in three weeks, will be out of this house in 5 weeks. (yikes)
The only hold up at the moment is trying to track down our current landlord so that he can verify that
we have paid in full and on time. He's changed his numbers and living address and didn't bother to tell us. (of course)
While trying to get the house ready for inspection, a large tree fell down in the back yard this morning. (I made the mistake of asking, "What else can happen today?")
*Speaking of great times to be had by all, yesterday, a rabbit committed suicide by throwing itself with extreme force into the grill of our 1-month old vehicle. It smashed through the plastic grill. I have spared you the photos of my hero 12-year old son/aka "man-of-the-house" trying to extract it. You're welcome.
*Our Norwich City season tickets came-- correction, two came, and the request to come in person to the ticketing office with proof of my children's ages came. The office is 35 minutes from here.
*There was a notice in my military post office box telling me to fill out a form and include a set of the Husband's military orders within a specific time or they will change the combination to the lock. The box is 45 minutes from here.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg called Murphy's Military Law (when the husband deploys, everything will break, or generally just go south).
School FINALLY let out today, so technically, summer has begun. I am wearing a jacket as I type, because I have been chilled all day. I love England I love England I love England I love England I love England I love England I love England...
Did anyone see this Bronx Zoo Cobra's Tweet?

My stressed-out, naturally smelly arm pits and I will be gracing a son's football tournament tomorrow, what are you doing for your weekend?
Oh Jeri! I am so sorry. That is truly more than you should have to deal with. I'm getting a little tired of the natural movement as well. Can't we all go back to being blissfully ignorant?
ReplyDeleteYou really need to take a long soak, relax, and eat something just for you.

So exciting about the house, and 3 cheers for your man-of-the-house.
Good luck with the house, and finding your landlord.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the house and having raised a son who can handle life's little surprises. Can he skin the rabbit too so that you can cook it?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Things are going quickly with this move. Best of luck to you, J. I hope things improve for you.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend...well...I just ran 8 miles to start my Saturday. The rest of the day...who knows, but tomorrow I'll be working. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour day makes mine look easy. Besides the incident with the ceiling, I flooded the bathroom and managed to get my neighbors dogs in a fight with each other. I know what you mean about things happening when the hubs leaves. Whenever mine goes out of town is when all the crap hits. I'll keep you and your smelly armpits in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new place..now let's hope you can track down your current landlord!! Geez!!
ReplyDeleteYes things do seem to happen in clusters...don't cha just love it!!??!!
My weekend is going to be at a Spa!!
A belated birthday gift from my girlfriend! We are going together. Sigh! Can you say BLISS!!!
Hugs

All I can focus on is that you have to wear a jacket. A jacket??? That makes me so envious. But that's it. Good luck with all that other stuff. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't life be boring if nothing ever went wrong.
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks sounds like a long move.
Oh sheesh!!!!! The craziness ensues! I'm sorry. It really does seem that it always happens when the hubby is gone.
ReplyDeleteHope you find the landlord soon.
Hope you have no more suicidal bunnies.
Hope your 35 minute and 45 minute drives go smoothly.
Hope the weather warms for you (what do you mean school just let out??? when does it start again?) soon!
Hang in there!
"Rabbit Extractor"? Ew, ugh, that is one job I never want.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new place!
Who needs deodorant when you can just walk around with a clove of garlic enveloped under each arm! Congrats on the house - very exciting! W.C.C.
ReplyDeleteGarlic enveloped under each arm would be the best idea
ReplyDeleteI draw the line with stinky pits chic! Go buy you some aluminium!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear..... stinky armpits or aluminium.
ReplyDeleteWhat a choice!
Oh poor little bunny! Hope she didn't have a family waiting to be fed!
Great about the house. Hope the landlord can be found it is all very stressful. I know because son is trying to do it. Long chains can develop.

Sorry things have been tough for you. Surely there's a green deodorant, no? I do hope so. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new house. So very happy for you.

It's been six days since you posted this. Hope things are better! We met a suicidal rabbit this week, too. No one in the neighborhood cried except me. Of course, I was also throwing up, so it's hard to tell what those tears were from.
ReplyDeleteNow, what can I do to help you during this busy time? Seriously.
This is the most incredible post, right down to the suicidal rabbit. I had a deer do that to my grill on Saturday night... luckily, it didn't leave itself to be extracted by my 12yo (who would have been sorrowful had he not been sleeping).
ReplyDeleteAlthough the post before it made me smile because I didn't have to google a single thing! That might make me an old rocker...
