It is not good for woman to be alone!

O.K., my sweet man has been in Georgia all week fishing...a much needed reprieve for him! I was so excited about him going, not that I wanted to get rid of him, I just didn't want to cook for a week....I'll eat about anything that I can find laying around, he's a little more demanding when it comes to food. So anyway, I missed him terribly the first night he was gone and am thankful that he'll be home either today or tomorrow. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder and he is needed more than he'll ever know. I'm too much of a scatter brain without him. For instance, one time when he was away, I forgot that I left our dog in the crate for 12 hours! Last night, I was running bathwater...and as usual was doing way to many things at one time...more than an hour later, my son said, "Mom, is there some reason you left the water running in your bathroom?"....I jumped up and ran to the bathroom to find 3 inches of water on the floor (so much for those overflow drains on the tub)....It took 25 towels to sop the water up. Not even an hour later, I was again engrossed in something else when I smelled plastic burning....I ran into the kitchen. My daughter had left the teapot on the stove and forgot it. How blessed we were that nothing caught on fire. I told her that I am not allowed to run water and she is not allowed to operate the stove until her daddy comes home! Now....should I tell him or not...he may never leave home again if I do...

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Those are the things that happen regularly around here Sue! Darrel tells me all the time to just do 1 thing at a time because I have such a terrible track record of disaster happening when I try to do more than that at once! You made me laugh as I was picturing you soaking up all that water with the towels!!! HURRY BACK HOME MIKE!!!
