Welcome to my world!

My life's been crazy since my Daddy moved in with me immediately after my mother's death in October 2010. My one and only kiddo headed to college at Carolina at the end of August. So...I lived on my own, for the first time in my life, for a total of a blissful six weeks. Then, I started the parenting gig with my dad. He's a combination of a grouchy old man, a surly teenager and a temperamental toddler. Needless to say, I get very close to the brink of insanity sometimes. I get through life by finding the humor in difficult circumstances. And for some reason, I wind up in the weirdest situations. I couldn't make this stuff up. So I wind up having lots and lots crazy adventures which make great stories to share with my friends. Writing about my life is so therapeutic. My ramblings range from funny to sad to angry (full of cuss words) to sweet. While my focus is dealing with the trials and tribulations of being a parent to my Daddy, I have lots of random, totally unrelated posts. Whatever's on my mind. I love to make people laugh, and I'm happy to think my readers will get my strange sense of humor. And maybe, people who are in my situation will be encouraged. That's all I can hope for...

Shit Happens

Literally.  Thankfully, it's cold.  Because my front flower beds are full of poop.  Not dog poop.  Human feces.  For the second time in as many years, my sewer line is clogged.  I called the Department of Public Works of our City of Good Abode two weeks ago.  No show.  Just called again.  They're supposed to be here today.  I'm not going to count my chickens...

In spite of dealing with that crap, I'm encouraged.  Because this very morning, I found my missing car keys.  I'm ashamed to admit that I rented a car for two weeks because I couldn't find them.  They were in my coat pocket all along.  I realized that it's cheaper to rent a car than a carpet cleaner.  That makes me feel better about throwing my money down the drain.  Pun intended.  At least it costs nada to get my sewer cleaned out.

About the carpet cleaning.  My beloved LuLu has regressed.  She's started pooping and peeing on the carpet again.  She did so well after I got it cleaned a few months ago.  If I didn't love her so much, I'd stick her ass outside in a styrofoam igloo.  Instead, I'm seriously thinking of biting the bullet and installing hardwood floors.  I don't care if I have to draw down my line of credit.  Because she's worth it...
