Yay, it's Friday! That's something to be happy about. Although I wasn't too happy upon waking up. Or should I say HOW I was woken up. ROFL You guys will love this one. First let me go back to last night and start from there.

Last night I was watching BBC News and they were talking about how Putin is blaming the U.S. for orchestrating the conflict in Georgia for political gain. That was on my mind as I went to sleep last night. That terrifies me! I personally think Russia would wipe us off the map. So imagine my horror this morning when I was rudely awoken at about 9 to fighter jets flying right over my house!! They sounded like they were close enough for the pilot to touch my chimney, and the whole house shook! It scared the hell out of me. I just knew it was Russia!

I jumped out of the bed so quick I got tangled in the comforter, tripped, and hurt my big toe. Furkids went running in circles freaking out. Duma jumped off the bed, then on it, then off, then ran into the closet with a porcupine tail. My daughter ran out of her room freaked out. She asked what was going on, what was that? Trying to remain calm, I said I didn't know. So I went to the window and tried to see what the hell was flying over that low. OMG they definitely are fighter jets! They were blue and yellow and there were four of them. Then I remembered.... the Air Show is Monday. Duh!! It was the Blue Angels!!! They're practicing! The Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds are here every Labor Day and I know this, having lived here almost all my life. Boy did I feel STUPID! LOL.

So we got Duma from the closet, scooped up Diamond, and curled up in my bed listening to them flying over for a while. After our hearts came back into our chests then we went downstairs and had breakfast. During breakfast my daughter says to me "Mom, you know what's funny?" I said "What?" She said "When those guys flew over I almost dribbled." I said "Yeah, me too." Then she says "Well I think Duma almost did a #2. Did you SEE his tail?!" LOL His tail was big though. It puffed up like the size of my rolling pin. Poor kitty.

They're still out there doing their thing. That's the downfall of living so close to downtown and the waterfront. When these things fly over, man, is it loud and the whole house shakes at times. But I'd rather it's them and not Russia lol.

Today I'm going to mop the bathrooms. I cleaned everything up yesterday but got tuckered out before getting the floors mopped. Hubby mopped the kitchen floor. He did a good job too. Wonder what he wants. I need to clean up the stove and clean out the fridge. I need to get my kitchen and bathroom rugs washed too. Maybe I'll clean up the laundry room while I'm at it. We have a problem here with the dryer lint and dryer sheets jumping out of the wastecan in the laundry room. I know they are jumping out because everyone assures me they "threw it away" but yet they're on the floor.

We're almost out of bread so I'll have to bake a couple loaves today. And I need to make a couple gallons of milk, a gallon of juice, and think about dinner. And I haven't got my daughter started yet on schoolwork. So I have a busy day ahead of me. And there goes another couple of jets flying over. If they misjudged it and collided we'd be done for here. Probably take out the whole neighborhood with that jet fuel. I wish we had a video camera! We have two and both are broken. I keep saying we need to see about getting them fixed or buy a new one already. I'd love to get these guys flying over and post it on youtube or something.

Well I'm out of here. I'll be back later to read journals. Have a good day!
