At 3am I sprang out of the bed with the misses a split second behind me. We were both bounding down the stairs racing for the back door to see what was going on with Mojo who was barking as loud as he could while racing back and forth along the rear fence line. The misses thought it was a skunk but I couldn’t smell anything. We both ran out into the back yard trying to coax 120 pounds of focused canine away from the fence and into the house. After a couple of minutes, we finally succeeded. With Mojo safely locked in the crate in the kitchen, we headed back to bed.
It’s now 6:30 and we’re running late. I have a call at 8 and our suburban goes back to the shop at 8:30. The boys are off school today and are still sleeping. Yesterday was filled with scootering, some football, a dog walk and a few runs to various thrift stores for the oldest boy’s zombie costume for Halloween. We capped off the day with a marsh mellow roast over the bbq. For the football games, I made some cream cheese stuffed jalapeno’s with bacon and I apparently should have used gloves when cleaning the seeds out of the peppers. For the rest of the day and night my fingers were “hot” and you could actually feel the heat from my hands. I also made the mistake of itching my eye, (through my shirt) which made it burn. The caspian, or chemical that causes peppers to be hot, had soaked into my fingers. I can still lick my finger nail (even though I’ve washed my hands a bunch) and feel a tingling on my tongue from the heat. I’ll never do that again!
The Bronco game is tonight at 8:15 which means it’ll be over around 11:30 or later. I can’t believe it’s so late. You can feel the weather getting cooler outside and fall is on the way. I’m not sure when it’ll snow but it could be anytime as the mountains are already getting dusted with the white stuff.
It was one of those sad and happy days yesterday. It was sad being the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 as a lot of innocent people lost their lives but it was a happy day as the country was united for one day rather than bickering about politics. Enough said as I don’t have the time or energy to jump into politics today. It’s now 7:15 and I need to jump in the shower and prepare for my 8am call.
Today we’ll know if we’re going to Italy or not. It depends on whether Brad and his family can go. If we do, I have to get all over getting passports for all of us because ours have expired. We’ll let you know tomorrow.
Time to run, take care, God Bless and have a good day,
