Every time the wind blows….

About fifty freaking grapefruits fall to the ground. They gracefully bounce off the A/C fan thingy (that Tae refers to as the SHREDDER). It scares the crap out of me because every time it happens I think someone is attacking our house…I am paranoid that way. But it is kind of true; the damn grapefruit tree is wrecking havoc on the back yard! As if my days were not full enough keeping up with the joy of the 4 year old tornado, now I have to conquer the tree too?? Mother Nature you are stressing me out. And your fruit flies that are little and dainty and so obnoxious…you can take those and shove them. After the Private Practice episode with the parasites, aka worms, in the brain I have visions of fruit flies making homes and laying eggs in our heads. So now you are freaking me out too. We would like to mow our lawn but can’t keep up with you and the rainfall of grapefruits. I am close to taking T’s baseball bat and knocking all the fruit down, just to get it over with…not a bad idea. Side note, the fruit is too small to eat, bad year for our tree so it really is just a big ol’ pain in the A.

Oh, and the SCORPION that decided to make a home in the play house…SO NOT COOL. Luckily my girl is smart and knew what it was and didn’t try to touch it…thank god! She actually screamed with joy for her discovery. I, on the other hand went to the cupboard to arm myself with medical gloves and needle nosed pliers. I attacked the creature and by sheer luck managed to grab it by the tail, with the pliers of course. Tae gleefully shouted “THROW IT IN THE SHREDDER!!!!!” and while I thought about it for a second I couldn’t kick the thought that if I did that it might get sucked through our A/C and come shooting out a vent in the house. So, sorry people against harming living creatures, but I smashed it on the infamous grapefruit tree and threw it in the dumpster. It was victorious and my girl was proud.

If you are feeling good about yourself and feel like you have a decent amount of brains in your head, like you can figure things out and might be classified as a somewhat intelligent person maybe even studious…you might want to check into my current math class. I guarantee you that you will feel like an IDIOT after the first homework assignment. There was a point when I LOVED math, I would explain it to others and not understand why they just didn’t get it, I even thought math was cool. Guess what, I just don’t get it. If you are a math whiz or an accounting major or something math-ish, this obviously doesn’t apply to you, you know the degree of a trinomial in your sleep…lucky. I on the other hand can’t seem to remember the chapter I just read. This is going to be a LONG class.

Lastly, Tae has a new compliment she likes to give me... “Mom you are a real talent, you should make crafts or start a restaurant or something cause you sure are a talent!” Melts my heart and makes me smile till my face hurts!
