Hello Allison, welcome to our little family, for those of you who don’t know- Allison is the original easily shocked, easily amused girl.  That’s why everyone likes her so much.  Of course Tracy and Brandy know her best because THEY took the time to come and stay at the last homely house.  Though in Jeremys’ case he tried and it didn’t work out.  And Jon has a valid excuse as well, being trapped in yankee heaven most of the summer.  Now I have a question for everyone–What is your favorite word or phrase??  Think about it!!

Emily raided me, aahh the dangers of an easy password, that’s okay though moms have allll kinds of ways to torture their children.  Hence all the tortured teenagers of the world.  14 days till school.  Now the all important question who’s happier me or her????  Just kidding dorkface!!!

Mom’s A DORK!!!!! But i love her! eee! HEE HEE!!

Well i’ve just been a busy little commentater today.  I wish I had something interesting to rant about like Jon or Helen or others….  I guess my rut is so deep and so comfy that it would just take to much effort to rant my way out.  However on the bright side my comfort zone is plenty big enough for you all to join me for awhile.  Emily calls it boring.  I call it The last homely house.  The place where you do what you want, sleep when you want, eat when you like, sing or dance or write, with no inner editor to stop you.  The place where you go to just BE.  The only rule is…you can’t judge or be judged.  Yes, I live in a bubble…but it’s my bubble of my making and I prefer it this way.  It wears me out to live in the real world all day long, so I option out at home. What fun having your own house!!  Someday you can have it too. 

Emily made mention today that I only have six readers…Are we having a contest that I didn’t know about? 

P.S.  I think that makes our bat count 66…i’m not sure it’s all beginning to blur

….and she didn’t even scream….

Emily went in to go to bed..even though she was on the phone with Tim, and lo and behold one live bat in the window, one dead bat on the floor.  (both are outside now)  Yeah!! batmom!!

The reason I ordered the book I did is because not all bat houses are created equally.  These particular bat houses have an 80% occupancy rate while some only have a 10% rate.  So even though laws may be broken, lives may be lost, and the whole thing is getting quite ridiculous, I’m trying to do the right thing.  I love my bats, it’s Em and the grumpy man who are kicking them out!!

more bat tales…

No sooner did I post the last entry when…..a little rustling comes from upstairs.  Two more down…how many more to go?  I’m curious does anybody know the guiness book of world records for bats in a house, in a rather well populated neighborhood?  I’m taking my next vacation in Transylvania.

bat tales cont….

So on the 5th Barry turned bat duty over to me.  HaHa..he had no idea what I was thinking.  Put on a nice thick pair of leather gloves and get ‘em while they’re asleep.  And you know what???  It worked!!! I got 7 more out and since then we haven’t seen anymore.  He laughs at me cause I take them out to a nice shady spot and hook them on a tree…Barry the ol’ meany he just tosses them out in the yard.  Course Emily still won’t sleep upstairs.  At this rate she may NEVER sleep up there again.  So  now our bat count is at 62 and I still don’t have a bat car or a sidekick.  Life is so unfair. 

……and the bat tales continue….

As of this morning we are up to 56 bats.  Last night at about 3am My sweet Bear got 5 more out of the house.  I have ordered a book on how to build your own bat house so maybe we can do that and they will move out of mine.  I feel terribly guilty about the mass eviction notice we have given them but Emily is convinced they are stalking her…… so sorry bats you gotta go.  I wondered why we didn’t have any mosquitoes?!?
