Yesterday was a big day for us. For those of you who do not live in Utah the 24th of July is a state holiday to celebrate the arrival of the first major group of settlers. So in the morning we went to Price to pick up Faith as she was spending a month with her Grandparents. We left at nine and didn't get back until after three. It is nice to have my baby girl home again and her kitty kitty has finally stopped wondering around the house whining like a kicked puppy.
We bought a couple of small packages of fireworks for the kids to light off and everything was going fine until we got to the end and Mom got to lite the finale fireworks. We bought these Crackling Strings that we love and are six feet long. I hung them on the Chain Link fence in front of the house and lit the first one. It was so awesome but because it is going off up the string it kind of lights on fire and drips a little bit. We had just a teenie itsy little tiny bit of a fire in the grass. I do the responsible thing and grab the hose that was already on just for this kind of thing and run up to put out the fire. At the same time the firework hit the top and and did a bomb exploding thing. The kids and Matt are yelling at me to get back and I turn and look at just the right moment and see the firework right in my face at eye level. I dropped the hose and ran just out of fear not because I was hurt but the family said I had been hit with several of the sparks but I didn't even feel it. It all turned out all right and Matt held the hose for the second one and it was all fun no one got hurt but I think I will leave fireworks and the maintain up to Matt from now on. I will just sit in my chair and throw flowers.

Sometimes its really hard not to laugh
So my friend D said I should blog about an incident that happened last weekend because she thought you guys would get a kick out of it also.
I was sleeping in on Saturday morning enjoying not getting up before the sun rises, when I heard a ear splitting scream. I grabbed my bathrobe and ran down the stairs thinking why the hell couldn't I sleep in peacefully just once. I heard the door slam and when I made it downstairs Faith was on the couch with her head covered by a blanket. I thought for sure that she must have been stung by a bee or something. I pulled her head out of the blanket to find out what was wrong and her face is dripping wet. I held her and rocked her until she was able to talk and found out the whole story.
Scott was out playing in the water and decided to water the flowers. Most people would be excited that a kid volunteered to do work, however the flower garden is specifically Faith's and mine and the vegetable garden is his and mine. Faith's window was open right about the flowers and heard him watering. She ran downstairs and outside in her jammies and instead of asking him not to water the flowers she shut the water off. He retaliated by spraying the high pressure hose in her face. At this point I wanted to make Faith feel all better but I wanted to laugh more because she got what she deserved for being a little snot. I did manage to calmly explain to her that her actions were not appropriate and that she should talk to him in the future instead of being a snot.
I made it all the way back upstairs to our room and closed the door. I started to tell John about it and lost my control. :)

Saturday Morning Rants
The husband should get up when I tell him
The cats should not be screaming at me for food, there not mine
The son should start his chores without a million reminders
The daughter should stop trying to sleep the day away just like the husband
The rain should not be falling when I have outside plans
The coffee should be hot and in my hand when I wake up
I should not have to turn my heater back on at the end of May
The home repair store should be open when I am ready to get started on my projects at 7 in the morning
