Squirrel Killer

1.  There's someone in Beaumont killing squirrels, beheading them, and dumping them along one of the rain canals.  I can't decide if it's someone who thinks squirrels are pests or someone who's going to become a mass murderer. 

2.  I am breaking in a new pair of workout shoes.  For some reason, regardless of the shoes, I always get a blister in the exact same place on my right foot - even with band-aid protection.

3.  Beside when I was pregnant, I've only ever had one leg cramp in my entire life.  This morning on my walk, both of my calves locked up.  I thought I was going to have to lie down in the mud and call Husband to come carry me home.  Looks like this girl needs to increase her potassium intake.

4.  Carolyn is now tall enough to reach the top of the end tables - where I have cleverly hidden everything I don't want her to have.  Crap.

5.  Carolyn is also cutting her two top teeth.  She didn't show any signs of teething with the bottom two, but she acts like the top two are going to kill her.  Today I tried to give her a frozen strawberry to alleviate her pain but she wasn't having it.

6.  So, instead, I made a strawberry, peach, and mango smoothie and gave her small bites on a metal spoon.  She couldn't get enough.  Score one for mom.

7.  Husband continues to have job interviews and soon, decisions are going to be made. 

8.  I wish I didn't doubt myself so much.  A few years ago, when I signed up for massage school, I was actually considering going on to be a physical therapy assistant.  That, however, would have required three weekly trips to Houston, quitting my job, and smarts that I didn't think I had.  It's amazing how many people get up on my massage table and want me to give them medical advice - massage therapists can't do that.  But, a lot of the time, I know the answer...and I want so badly to tell them.  For instance, when women come in complaining their low back hurts and they can't figure out why, I want to shake them and tell them to get a bra that fits and stop wearing those stupid flat flip flops when they're on their feet all day long to start with.  It should be common sense, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people have no idea how their bodies work.

9.  HEB has changed their coupon policy.  I used to be able to use store coupons way past their expiration dates.  Now they won't take them.  I've been hoarding diaper coupons for months and now they're worthless.  HEB, have I not been a loyal customer?

10.  Something is eating the leaves of my basil plants.  Whatever it is, I'm going to find it and kill it.  But what am I looking for??
