Attack Of The Opossums

Attack Of The Opossums

Here is my story of my opossums trying to invade my home. We have seen opossums in our backyard and neighbor hood before. We have even seen 2 of them crawling on one of my neighbors roof. They are icky and nasty, with their little red beady eyes. Well, last week I was sitting on [...]

I Hate Allergies

I Hate Allergies

My oldest son who is 15 has the worst allergies. Basically, he is allergic to all grass and trees. Throw a little mold in there and he really gets going. His reactions are not typical to a runny nose or sore throat. He gets migraine. Severe migraines at that. I can always tell when he [...]

I Swear They Want Everything

I Swear They Want Everything

It is getting that time of the year again where my kids need new summer clothes. It seems that the older they get, the more they need. I would call myself cheap, but I guess the politically correct term would be frugal. I hate to spend lots of money for anything. And, when your kids [...]

I Know I Am Cool

I can remember those days where my mom was not cool. Yeah, I know that was back in the day. I did not want her to drop me off in front of the school, I never wanted my friends to meet her, and I hated when she talked to my teachers. Hey, I was a [...]

A Southern Delight- Crawfish

A Southern Delight- Crawfish

In the south, we love us some crawfish. They are considered a southern delicacy. Some parts of the country call them crawdads. If you call them that down here we will look at you like you are crazy. When I lived in Illinois, I tried to tell everyone that you could not cook and ear [...]

South Texas State Fair

South Texas State Fair

I could have sworn the fair was the Southeast Texas State Fair in earlier years. But whatever. Leandra, Tevin and I went to the South Texas State Fair the other night. I love to go and ride all the rides. But I always regret it. I hate anything that makes me dizzy, it makes me [...]
