As many of you know I am spending time time with Aaron this week. We have had a great time. Today I ironed. And ironed. And ironed. And ironed some more. I am happy to do it for him but I wonder if he saves it up for my visits. Hmmmmm.
Since he just moved into a new townhouse he is still a little unorganized in his new place. There is still some stuff at the old place and since he is such a busy guy it is hard to get it all moved . He will get there and he basically has it all done but all that little piddly stuff like the stuff in the fridge and the bathrooms,etc. It will come. I am happy to do what I can to help out. And I am happy that I am free to do it! Yay for my life right now!
Yesterday morning when I came downstairs for that first cup of coffee there was a huge bug in the entry way. His foyer is the full two story open type and my picture does not do it justice at all. But maybe you can see that it was huge. I think it might have been a cicada. 
Add a little zoomie zoomie and it still does not really look as big as it really was.
Aaron took care of it when he got home. It wasn’t pretty. Glad that the painter was coming back to redo that area. Just saying.
So today the painter came –great guy and if you are in the Raleigh area and need a painter give me a holla and I will give you his info. Great guy and a very good painter. He brought his ladder in to get started and then was all incredulous at something he spotted on the wall. The same area where said above bug was the day before.
An adorable little froggie!!! I think it must have been on his ladder that he had up against the townhouse but how cute!!! I told him he was in charge of the catch and release which he did. However…this is where the story gets sad. He came back in and said that as soon as he set the little cutie down a bird swooped down out of nowhere and pecked it.!!!! He was really upset. Said it was traumatic. Not sure of the status of the frog. I may have to go search later but hopefully he was just “playing dead” so the bird would go away.
I have one more day here so I am a little leery of what the critter of the day will be today!!! I will be sure to keep you posted!

Leave a commentEeeewww! Critters in the house. Last night’s news report had a feature story on cicadas and what it din they make. They made it sound like one of the plagues of Egypt;
It’s nice that you are so willing to iron to help your son—my son calls on me when he wants to de-junk. That’s my specialty in other people’s houses.
Yea–I think cicadas can be pretty crazy sounding….luckily it is no longer in the house!!! Love it when sons need their mommas, don’t you??? I am blessed!
That frog is adorable and I really hope he survived the bird attack. As for that other creature, yuck!
And may I just ask “Ironing? What exactly is that?”

I am thinking good frog karma prevailed. That is the only way I could sleep at night! The painter was all upset–it was really cute!
You are not the only one of my friends to ask what ironing is……I seem to be in the minority on the whole ironing thing. What can I say?? I like things ironed???
🙂
Me too Beth Ann…ME TOO! Clothes just look better ironed!
LOL Yep!!! 🙂
Oh no! Nature in action! Wishing you luck on tomorrow’s critter find! 🙂
Okay, I live in Canada and I can’t fathom, what looks to me like a giant “moth”, a bug that size…let alone a random frog just adorning the framework.
Is this normal for you folk?
Well…..not really. I think the stars were just kind of aligned weirdly or something….but we do have some interesting critters!
I hate when that happens! you take the time to save a critter and something else comes by and kills it.
I know!!! I am holding out hope he made it okay…..
Do not like those kinds of critters in my house either! Hope those critters will soon realize they are not welcome in the house!
U think it was all because of the moving thing–doors open and all that!!! No sightings today!
Yikes! Looks like the boy has a wildlife habit in his house. *lol*
