A humorous look at country life thru the eyes of one who's living it.
Ain't nobody loves country livin more than me! But we are way past 'country' and on into the downright redneck hillbilly life. Carpet in the driveway, Christmas lights up in the living room yearround and when I wash up my dishes I just throw the scraps outta my kitchen window into the back yard for the dogs! Hey, may sound strange to some, but it works for me :) ! But last night I couldn't sleep, was pourin sweat even with both fans runnin, plus had a headache! Tried movin my bed to position it in front of the window. Managed to move it some, but pulled a muscle in my back doin so! Most aggravating of all were these little red beetles! Now I ain't the least bit fraid of the little critters, but you can hardly sleep when they land on you and keep buzzing around the room. I'd do the natural thing, just squish them and toss them in the trashcan. Now they are no danger... I mean, they ain't gonna kill ya and eat ya :) , but they sure can pester the livin daylights outta ya! My window is one of the few in the entire how that actually has a screen so for the life of me I couldn't figure where they were gettin in at! Finally the next day I discovered that the screen which had just been cut to fit and stapled into place, had not been staple across the top. Well, ain't had the time to staple it yet, but have given it a good dose or two of bug spray! Anyways, had one hell of a night and still woke up with the rooster at 6am! Yea, I love country livin, but at times I gotta admit, it has its drawbacks!
