Our Mom is a flake................ by AFSS

First there is the fact she mispronounces words horribly the guy peeps always pick on her about that.

Then there is the fact she is very clumsy. Honestly she is always tripping over her own two feet, OK we may have a little to do with that problem as we are generally standing between her two feet but............

This is the flakiest thing she has done recently. Arty generally loves being outside and only comes home at supper time. Well Mommy went and called Arty and called and called, people were doing fireworks and shooting guns and some people were playing really LOUD music so Mommy was getting kinda worried when Arty didn't come right away even though she had seen her when she was weeding. Arty always comes to make sure Mommy is weeding correctly. Bad things happen when we aren't around to snoopervise like Mommy mistaking a honeysuckle vine for a dead zinnia and accidentally cutting it down. Anyway Arty was on the back side of the pond and she was coming as fast as she could but she had to swim across a raging river and cross a jungle so it took a while, Mommy finally spotted her and picked her up to carry her the rest of the way home. Scylla of course fell in behind them right away when Mommy came by the trailer where she was lounging but Socks decided to be naughty and stay under the trailer. So Mommy gets Arty and Scylla in the house and she is all out of breath from her strenuous hike carrying the Arty Mouse and ask Eldest Boy Bean to go fetch Socks. Youngest Boy Bean had knee surgery and couldn't bend down to get him out from under the trailer, even though he came to help Mommy find the Arty Mouse.  So while she is waiting on Eldest to get through playing on his computer and go fetch Socks she remembers it is the 1st and that Fenris needs his heartworm medicine so she is getting that out to give him and Arty is in the kitchen watching her (by the garage door) when Eldest goes to fetch Socks and being a boy bean he doesn't shut the garage door properly and it comes open and fearing that Arty will escape Mommy yells Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo and lunges for the door terrifying poor Arty who runs through the door and into the field and refuses to come to barefoot Mommy (who will probably get another cold from running around outside in January barefoot) who is chasing her. Thankfully the wise and wonderful Daddy came outside to catch Arty while Eldest boy bean caught Socks who had finally moseyed up to the garage only to be frightened by the screaming Mommy. So Sarge, Frankie, Road Dogs  that is why we think our Mommy is a flake.

Blogger is being annoying, not accepting our comments. We have to agree with Au and Target - not flaky at all, just a very concerned Mommy.
