Three Months!

My Chocolate Children are growing so fast. I thought it would be kind of cute to do what all other Mom's do and take a picture of Birdie each month on her "birth date" and watch her grow. Only one problem.... She wouldn't quit eating my sign..
So Happy 3 month Birthday Birdie! I hope you quit chewing (and peeing) on things soon.

I want...

The River Has Flooded...

Pictures off the Bridge of the river. Above View Left, Below View Right.

Rain Rain Go Away. We are about to be washed away by the Saline River. The weather channel website says that we're under a River Flood Alert (Saline River) Um.. yeah It's up a few feet. It has consumed the back pastures and slowly creeping into the front pastures. You wouldn't believe the weather we got last night! This has been the third line of storms sweep through our State in the past week. I'm so sick of rain. I'm pretty sure we've gotten at least a foot of rain total. I want to see the sun for awhile. I want my yard to be dry so I can mow. I want to have dry dogs to play with. I want to be tan. I don't carry flood insurance. (because I can't afford it) I want to plant grass in the back yard so I won't have to deal with a muddy laundry room.

I want a new camera. I want a fenced in yard for my dogs. I want a maid. I want a chef. I want Sean to come back home. I want a clean car. I want Kris to win AI. I want...that's it for right now. Thanks for listening.

Here are more river pics. The right side of the bridge. (I have conveniently labeled the River Bank for you so you can see how much it has over flowed. Please comment on how awesome this is...it took me forever to add "River Bank" to the photos.!!!)

A Close up of the Overflow. View from the left of the river Bridge

Below is a view from my back porch. Isn't it beautiful.. and yes that is the River in my the back pasture. That brown stuff that looks like dirt...it's water. (It's not usually there, it's usually pasture)

Here's a close up of the pretty yellow weeds. About 2 inches in water.

This is the picture of the creek last month. This is how deep it is normally. My puppy's toes are barely wet..

This is the same spot today. It's a little bit deeper...

Banjo Really enjoyed it being deeper...

Birdie Just watched from the bank...

The Sun is Out Now Yea!! Too Bad I'm cooped up inside at work. Maybe the water will be down soon!

American Idol Sucks

This morning I would like to gripe about American Idol. First of all I believe that Paula subscribes to a daily vocabulary word e-mail and then tries to use all weeks worth in one AI show.

Paula,


No one knows what your saying. All you do is comment on what they are wearing and how much you love them. You are irrelevant. Kara has replaced you...And did I hear Ryan say you were going to be on stage tonight...did he mean sing? I hope not.. Sincerely, Jenna


Second of all I believe that the judges have their minds made up of who they want to win, and they are really killing AI because it's persuading America's vote. Personally, I believe that the vocals last night, from all contestants were way under par. Danny's scream? I think he was really scared that he was going to mess up the high notes at the end of the song, so scared that he just screamed. Slash and Ryan really set him to fail though. They built up the scream at the end of the song so much I couldn't enjoy the rest of the song because I was waiting for the scream at the end, which was horrible by the way.



Alison actually looked fabulous last night, (first performance only) I'm glad she went to see Adam's hair dresser, which makes me surprised that Adam has a hair dresser, I just thought he cut his hair by himself..in his sleep. By the way, I know Adam can sing and all, but like the judges said last night, he would be perfect for 70's rock singer. (which were all pretty animated and loved makeup just as much as he does) Well this isn't a 70's rock competition, he's not normal enough to be an American "Idol." He needs to go on Broadway..and stay there. Alison actually sounded OK last night but as far as playing Janis Joplin in a movie.. yeah that wouldn't work. Kelly Clarkson, Maybe...




























I'm a huge Kris fan being from Arkansas and all, but he didn't do to hot vocally last night. I'm really glad that Randy noticed his awesome guitar playing. He did amazing. I just wish he would've gotten into the song a little more, I think that would've made it less boring. But over all he actually rocked it last night more than anyone because he actually ROCKED IT, with a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, which is pretty much all rock is about right..the MUSIC?! I voted for Kris probably 50 times. He's the most artistically able person up there. I think he deserves top three over Alison and Adam. Actually he and Danny are probably the two that should be in the finals, but after last night the judges pretty much set Alison and Adam up for the finals with that whole worship service at the end of their solo... gah I'm fired up now. If Kris goes home tonight I quit AI. I'll start watching Dancing with the stars or something...
