I've been watching two paper wasps build a nest from the ground up (or porch roof down) for the past few weeks. Then I witnessed what I can only assume was wasp sex, and now they've been filling the chambers with baby wasps.
We've been able to go in and out without them bothering us and the nest is right by the door, there is no avoiding it.
I've reached the point where I am actually going to be sad when I destroy all their hard work and children. I don't want dozens of baby wasps hanging out at my back door. I just think it's been cool to actually see them do this day by day.
Each year we get something of the flying variety. The first 2 years was a mud dauber, it's nest is still on the back door. I think it got inside one day and I killed it.
=/
I'm also going to go to bed soon, it's only 9:30. I feel old.
I'm trying to decide whether I should try the key lime bar recipe tonight. I'm doing a trial run before I bring it to book club next week, and I bought key lime juice and a regular lime for the zest, but my husband accidentally threw away the lime. I'm leaning towards doing the trial run tonight without the zest.

DH is on prednisone for a bad poison ivy outbreak and it is making him sick. He has a fever and is nauseous. He doesn't get man colds. I feel bad for him. I bought him tylenol, gatorade and ice cream and he's snoring away.
I'm going to be up all night because we are supposed to be getting some pretty bad wind storm and rain tonight. 1) I want to see this storm and 2) I want to know if there is a tornado warning because that is terrifying and I can't sleep thinking nobody would be awake to get everyone to the basement.
The twins are singing to each other. They need to go to sleep! I'm glad tomorrow is nanny day. I need a break from my kids constant need to destroy everything in site. I don't think I could handle being a SAHM.

I bought four dresses online for $29. I'm wearing one right now and it's amazingly comfortable.
I got my contract renewed for next year, but even with 2 years of experience and a master's, my pay is still being frozen, and I'm actually taking home less than I did my first year because of taxes. Meanwhile, my rent is going up. :/
One of the cats of peeing on shit. I think it started when we were out of town, someone was mad we were gone so long. A curtain and suitcase have been ruined. Fortunately the suitcase was well past it's prime. I think it's the male cat but I have no proof!
I am in the middle of moving things around in the house and therefore it is a disaster in epic proportions. There is no room that doesn't look like a tornado ran through it and it is starting to drive me batty.

Lima is cutting the water from 9 am tomorrow until 9 am on Friday for some sort of maintenance. And therefore no one will be able to shower or bath properly, and the last thing I need is the smelly kid in 6th grade to be extra smelly and dirty along with 20 other 6th and 7th graders. Hold me!
I just discovered there is a convenience store chain call Pump 'N Munch and my inner 12 year old is now bouncing up and down with glee and delight and laughing uproariously.
9am tomorrow. She told me to take 3 BC pills for the next 3 days, so I took 3 today. I'm still bleeding but it's light, no more 'episodes'. Thanks for asking:) I'll update tomorrow.
I've been wondering about you all day. I'm glad that the bleeding is lighter, but I hope you get some answers as to what the issue may be.
I thought I was getting this HUGE bargain last week when I found an 8 pack of Brawny paper towels (my towel of choice) at Shop Rite last week. I normally buy a 3 pack at Walmart for about $4.50.
Anyway, I opened up the package and realized they are NOT select-a size
What will I do with EIGHT rolls of full size paper towels? Who knew they were even still making those inferior full size towels?

I feed my DS peas for the first time ever tonight, and he liked them. He was laughing and having a good time until the last bite when he threw it all up.
I have already had one drink and I am thinking about having another one.
I realized today that my H and I have not had a picture of the two of us together at all this year. It either a picture of one of us holding the baby.
We just bought a Tassimo and I have to say that the Tim Hortons coffee pucks are really good! Very comparable to the in-store coffee.
I'm almost done my report cards!!!! Only a few things left to do before I proofread. I'm done for tonight though because my shoulders and neck are all knots and I'm starting to go cross eyed. lol
It's thundering here and I'm about thisclose to having a 100lb lab in my lap. This would be all fine and dandy except that we haen't gotten our upstairs furniture from my mom yet so I'm sitting in a camping chair!

I think my likes counter is broken. I have more than 81 likes. WTH?! Also, I decided to try some frozen gluten free/vegan waffles. They were pretty good. But I'm still hungry and I don't know what else I want to eat.
