I NEED A VACATION
Yes, it is one of those days. Just got back from the dentist. Not fun. I am freaked by dentists, so I have put off going for quite some time. Bad me because it is going to cost me a ton of money. I need a miracle or I need to rob a bank. Maybe I will not do that. Oh well, I just have to take one day at a time. My teeth really hurt right now. I have taken some tylenol so I hope that helps. I walked to my work from the dentist office. It is so warm outside, I had to take off my coat. What a great October we are having. I just hope it stays like this all month.
My daughter Samantha noticed a bees nest under ground at our house. What happened is that a skunk came around the night before and started digging at the side of our house, outside the exterior fence. We just thought it was trying to get under the fence but the following night I was in my bedroom and I heard Sam come into the house saying "Mom, I think you need to come and see this" I had no idea what was going on but like a whipped mother, (hee hee) I obeyed. She took me outside the fence where the skunk was digging and shined a flashlight on the spot. I saw the outside of a bees nest, with part of it gone from the digging. So my husband, Syd said we would need to get something to get rid of the rest. Well, a couple of days later, she called me at work and told me she went to the bees nest and it was completely gone. Our dear skunk I guess came back and dug up the entire nest. Sam said there were nest pieces all over the grass. Yikes, he really wanted either the honey or the bees or both. That saves us from digging it up. Now I will never say I hate skunks. I wonder if it got stung. Oh well, at least it was not me.
Until later . . .

I should have taken a picture of it but Syd covered most of it in with dirt. He said while he was doing that, the bees were swarming him looking for their home. He came into the house saying, the hole would have to wait till dark. I guess they were looking for their home and thought he was their home. hee hee

Hi I found you from Lala's blog. My daughter's name is Samantha too but she's 19 months old. Your Sam is a beautiful girl! I hope she's better soon, poor thing.
