I swear its a good thing there is no reason for camera crews to follow me around during my days…!

Just now I found myself with a huge plastic juice pitcher and a cake spatula chasing my little lizard friend who has been stuck in my house for days!

The best part was that I was talking to him the whole time.  Ya know, lizards need some encouragement too!

Will to Grandma while Grandma is offering to put his shoes on for him…

Cockroaches – 0 / Crazy Mamma – 1 May 21, 2008

I don’t think there is much in this life that I fear more than cockroaches.  Alive, dead, either way.  Well, living here is sunny FL it’s like their breeding ground and I used to live in their Disneyland.  I had a great house right on the beach that was canopied by old oaks and beautiful overgrown landscaping.  Um, I had no idea that my little friends love to live in piles of leaves and such…thus making our lot their little amusement park.

So, last night my mom was over to our new house (no brush or trees to leaves piles behind!!!  :) and I had brought a box over from the old house.  Well, I happened to look over a see the mama-jama roach crawl out.    AAHHHHH!  So…instead of cowering I got angry.  I let my anger propel me off the couch eventhough my mom had offered to get it for me.   No.  This was my rediculousy crazy battle to fight.

I walzed over to the sink and got out the Raid  (can’t live without it).  I found the sucker and let me tell you….I drowned that mofo, tehehehe!  Oh he put up a great fight but not nearly enough to outrun my crazy butt.  It was awesome.  I felt like Rambo or something.

Anyway, I just heard this quote directed toward people with OCD but really you could fill in your own fear and it is so inspiring.  It goes a little somethin like this…

“You have to hate the OCD more than you fear it….  Fear is a monster, when you run, it likes to run after you.”

Well, peace out monsters cause I ain’t running!  Boo-yah!  :)

life sucks when you hang on to it.  It is so hard sometimes.

“There are things that you can experience that the only way to handle them is to lay them at His feet.”

I have been practicing grace and forgiveness.  Oh, it sucks too.
