Morning! There is currently a bear walking around one town over from me – less than five minutes away, actually. I keep seeing his/her whereabouts and pictures on the local Facebook pages, and I secretly hope he makes it over to our backyard.

He looks so cute, but I'm a little scared for him because I hope people will just leave him alone.

I woke up cranky today after having a disturbing dream that brought up old trauma. So frustrating that it can still impact my day so much. I'm expecting another boring day at work. DH has a man cold. I think he is actually sick this time though because he scheduled to take tomorrow off and rest, which never happens. Hopefully it clears for the weekend because we have a lot on our to do list and I also wanted some free time. My throat is scratchy as well but I am hoping it will pass.

No bears in my yard please! We have a snake and that freaks me out enough!
The inlaws aren't staying for dinner tonight so that means I won't be drinking, which is a good thing! Yay to not feeling like shit tomorrow!

A couple years ago I saw a bear cub right by the gate coming into post. There was a lot of traffic there and I hope he made it safely back to mama. My aunt used to live in this area and she got bears in her backyard every now and then.

*sigh* Last night was tough. Today is Maddie's last day of Pre-K. She's been having a tough time with leaving her teacher and all of her friends. We helped her write a note to her teacher and she dictated "even though I won't be in your class anymore I'll still love you." I told her we could go out to dinner to celebrate finishing school tonight and she said "and celebrating becoming a kindergartner" and started sobbing. 😞 We all cried with her for a bit.
We're not very religious, but she attends a religious preschool and likes to pray occasionally so we said a prayer for her teacher and the teacher's assistant and I think that helped her.
That girl feels everything with her whole heart.
I'm going to see if my boss will let me go early today so I can pick her up from school.

Good morning everyone. I am tired as all fuck today. I mean tired is my status quo, but last night between 11.30-12.30 they had helicopters circling a nearby state park. It was so effing loud and scary sounding. I felt like I was sleeping on an airport tarmac! I've got a big coffee now and trying to wake up.

I'm tired as fuck today. H has had a fever since yesterday and he was up all fucking night. I wish I knew what was going on with him. He's miserable. Tylenol is helping the fever but I may need to look for an urgent care around here if this continues.

yummeecookee Do you know why helicopters were there so late? Hopefully the coffee does the trick for you! Yes. Someone tried to drive into the park late at night, Park Police told him that the park was closed. He then tried to run over the policeman! Policeman shot at park-goer's car in self defense and then park-goer took off on foot. I don't know if they caught the guy. The police officer is at a local hospital and will be ok.

I'm sure the plane ride didn't help.

tgrimes and wedding I haven't seen said snake. But when H was mowing a few weeks ago, he saw it in our front yard. He's *pretty* sure it went under the cement patio steps. Quite a few black snakes have been seen in our neighborhood the past month or so. While I hate snakes, I do realize we need them around to minimize bugs and shit. I just don't want to see them! I grew up outside of the town we currently live in, like maybe 2 miles outside of town. We lived in a small neighborhood of about 10 houses and each house was on 2-3 acres. One night we came home from my brothers ball game and it was raining so him and I ran downstairs to close the basement windows. In the back of the basement, a large (probably 3-4') black snack was hanging from the ceiling. Thank god my brother could keep his cool because he ran upstairs and grabbed a garden hoe out of the garage and came back down and killed it. I will never forget that fucking snake.

Awww, poor H. I hope he feels better soon! And that you are able to get some rest today as well tgrimes! So the Usborne book lady talked me into having a FB party. I know some of you have some of their books, if you want me to invite you, let me know, otherwise I won't bother any of you with the invite. Don't want to be a pest. I just looked through a third of their catalog and they do have some cute books. I know we are all avid readers to our kids. I already get a free book and $25 credit, so I'm going to make my wishlist today while I don't feel like working!
