The bamboo has had another growth spurt.
I've kept it trimmed into sort of a ball shape.
Recently, J pointed out that it looks a bit like Wilson,
the volleyball from that Tom Hanks movie.
=:D
I had a teeny tiny visitor yesterday...
can you tell what it is?
Its a freshly hatched baby Preying mantis.
How can something so cute grow up to be a monster bug?
I did not sleep well last night and got up several times.
I had a nightmare.
I dreamed that I was at the wedding we have to go to this evening
and I managed to sit in something in the church that made it look like I'd had a scary accident... so I had to hide in the truck for the reception.
I am sure it's anxiety over how well I'll be received.
Somehow I have managed to be cast into the
wicked step mother role.
Well, I've got errands to run...
wedding present to buy...
I need to find a skirt to wear...
and pay bills.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
I hope I do too!
I never sleep well when there is some important event scheduled the next day. The day of my nephew's baptism, I was up at 3am. Nerves, I guess or maybe part of me relishes the quiet time when I know my family is safe & sound, yet I have the house to myself.
ReplyDeleteCube- Nerves is my problem. but I have been known to get up very early to have the peaceful house and family feeling too.
ReplyDeleteI understand that some people keep praying mantiseseses as pets!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine anyone less suited to the role of evil stepmother than you. You are so open and warm! I feel certain this will resolve itself.
Hope you enjoy the wedding...and that you found a great stain resistant skirt ;-)
laura b.- I've seen too many bug war shows to ever want to trust one of these scary guys! HA
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will behave, in the end its what I always do. I have to get walked on for a long time before I blow up. But it does hurt my feelings when someone looks for things that aren't there.
I hope so. I'm nervous about my place in it.
You have a wonderful weekend as well, and I hope the wedding goes well. Don't let that anxiety ruin it for you. Take care.
ReplyDeletei never used to like bugs but my boys loved them since he was about 2. one time he found a preying mantis and just enjoyed making it track his finger and watching its jointed head move.
ReplyDeletei hope the wedding went well.
Mr.Shife- I hope you are having a wonderful time too.
ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head... anxiety sucks.
lime- I loved bugs when I was little. I used to put them in a shoe box filled with sand. I found some beauties... beetles with pretty, shiny coverings. When I showed them to my dad, he had a fit. They were Japanese rose beetles and the yard was under attack! Out came the powder puffer and the war was on. I simply did not get that and only under duress did I allow him to bomb my beetles.
