Didja know?

October 15, 2012 Leave a Comment

I don’t want you to go a day with having something from me to read!  Writing my daily blog is a priority.  But I am so very tired.  The alarm went off at 5:15 this morning for me to get an early start at work.  Tomorrow’s alarm will be even earlier.  So, I cannot comprehend a lengthy blog for you tonight.  My apologies.  Instead, I will share a few pure facts that take little discussion – simply sharing with you a few tidbits I shall title:  “Didja knows?”

Didja know my husband was on the roof again tonight?  I guess there are still acorns filling the gutters, but the leaves are starting to fall as well  He says he doesn’t enjoy getting on the roof.  Baloney.  I really think he likes it up there.  Maybe it makes him feel elevated (haha yeah) or just like superman or something.  I have to confess that I was getting dinner ready when he climbed the ladder to the roof.  I suddenly heard a very loud THUD on the roof above.  I had visions of him falling, and seriously thought for a brief moment that I should go check on him.  But I didn’t.  I was too tired.  I simply gave it a few minutes and hoped I would hear him moving around again.  I did.

Didja know that October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month?  Yes it is.  Spina bifida uses a light yellow colored ribbon for our cause.  Want to know more about spina bifida?  Read:  Amanda, Perfectly Made!

Didja know that tumor on my hand is starting to hurt?  I see the surgeon next week and then I’ll have a surgery date.

Didja know that we have decided to keep Amanda close by and have secured an apartment just down the road from us?  It’s on West Road.  When I told her our change of plans, her first response was to ask, “So I’ll get to go to St. Paul Church every weekend still?”  When I answered that, yes, that was true she responded with a big smile, “Yessss!”

Didja know that squirrels forget where they hide about half of their nuts?

Told you I was tired.
