Spring Break- Day 1

Ah the joy of not having to jump out of bed to an alarm clock and get up for school!
Alex had some friends round, and I started exercising again, (feels quite good actually- don't tell anyone!)
Not so joyful- finding a brown recluse spider on the back door step. Eth was throwing shoes at it from a distance and then Alex sprayed it with the hornet spray. It died!
Now I don't want to be considered a baby, but that is now a count of 1 poisonous black widow spider out the front and now 1 poisonous brown recluse on the back door step! Hello???.....is it just me? or is this to be considered acceptable. I think not!!!
Just waiting for the deadly snakes and the gators and we will have a full house!

The thing about the snakes is that there are two almost identical here. One is deadly, the Coral snake, and one is harmless, the King snake! One has black, yellow and red stripes, and one has red, black and yellow stripes. You have to see how the stripes go and there is a rhyme - "black and yella, kill a fella, red and black, friend of Jack."
So if you see a snake with yellow rings next to black with no red in between, run! Then again, by the time you have studied the snake, remembered the rhyme and got your trainers on your probably dead anyway!!!

Cooked my first Sunday roast, on a Monday, since we got here. It was great, but without Aunt Bessie's company for dinner, I had to make roast spuds and Yorkshire puds from scratch. God- Live is just too short!!! But thanks to Carol for the pud recipe- needs a bit practice I think. but really, they weren't bad!!
Watched Happy Feet, well...until I fell asleep from boredom!
