Humming bird in the house!

So this past Friday a Humming bird flew into the house! Jovie had been playing out in the garage because I was working and I couldn't go outside with her at the time. She came in and the door to the house (from the garage) got left open. She said mommy, there's a Humming bird in our living room. At first I didn't think anything of it. I was concentrating on my work just trying to get done so I could play with her & go to the store. I said something like oh wow. That's nice. Then I looked up & there was an actual Humming bird in our living room!!!!! I thought o.k., we need to open the doors. Surely, this cute little Humming bird will see the outside and fly right out. Right? So, I was busy trying to get the back door open, I yell to Jovie to open the front door, she does. Then I hear, mommy, the Humming bird just flew up-stairs.. Oh wow!!! umm, ok, what do I do now?? I'm thinking to myself. I know I'll txt George! He'll know what to do! I txt, no txt back. hmmm... I hear, mommy, the Humming bird just flew into your room. Ok, I can handle this. Let me try one more txt.. George the humming bird is in our room! What do I do? In the mean time, I take a broom upstairs, thinking that I can help "shoo" it out. I open the windows & the screen & say here birdie, see the window? Come on birdie! Fly out the window.. Nope! the stupid bird is hitting it's head on the ceiling! pop! pop! pop! it's freaking out! I'm shaking so bad, just wondering if it's going to attack me.. I'm trying to figure out something to "scoop" it up with. I find a white, hard plastic container and a gift bag, o.k. I admit not my brightest moment, but I need something to get this bird out of my bedroom! Feathers are going everywhere! This dumb bird keeps hitting the ceiling! thump, thump, thump! I'm trying to catch it. Every time I go for it, it freaks out even more & flies away. (by this time, I have shut my door & the closet & bathroom door). I decide to get on the bed, even though I'm afraid the bird is going to attack my hair. I think this will get me closer to it. Jovie is asking if we can keep it once we catch it. She's also looking at me like I'm a crazy woman. Then she wants to know if we can feed the stupid bird! I'm sweating and out of breath! Are you serious??? Feed this thing?? I say no, we can't feed it. It likes sugar water and I don't have time to make it right now. Well, mom, do we have sugar? I can go down and get some. (she is such a sweetie!) I have to tell her no. I have to get this bird out of here. Still no word from George! UUUUUGGGHHHH!!! I'm about to give up! I just want to cry, when I spot my 2 soft cowgirl hats!! I think these might work! I just about fall off my bed, my knees are like jello, I grab my hats the bird comes close I go for it and miss.. it comes close again I put the hats together & I got it! I got it, wait really?? I got it! YAY!! YAY!! I got it! Out the window that little Humming bird goes!!!!! finally! That thing uuuggghhhh! So frustrating! Who knew humming birds were so dumb?? ha! ha! ha!!!

We had a great time in AZ! I miss my sister so much! If I think about it too much it makes me so sad. I love my family, but there is just something about being close to your sister that makes you feel... whole. When I was younger I guess I didn't think about it too much. She got married when I was 13, and that's just the way things were. But now, I so wish we were closer. You get used to being far away, but it's never easy. We are close, meaning we talk or txt a lot. But I wish we lived closer. Just to be able to go to her house whenever I want or go shopping or have lunch or dinner with her or just go over for coffee or just a chat. I felt more accepted and less self conscious when I was there than I have in such a long time. I can't even tell you. It felt so good. Ok well, I need to get back to work. I'm so glad God and my family accepts me just the way I am.

Thoughts

What a crazy week. I'm so excited about going to my sister's for a week. I have so much to do this week. I have a lot of packing to do. a lot of cleaning to do. A lot of work to get done! I can't wait! I'm a little nervous for the plane ride! Our plane leaves at 6:10a.m. that means we have to get up extremely early! I hope the kids do o.k. I think we will be bringing along pillows!
This is my first blog in a very long time. There are lots of thoughts swirling in my brain. I can't quite get everything organized and down. I so wish I was better at this. I guess I should get back to work anyway.
