Truth: I hate waking up at 6am. I HATE it. Maddye has to be     on the bus before I normally get up. I can't snooze. I can't delay.     I hate that damn bus. 
     
     Truth: Maddye hates waking up at 6am. Maybe more than I hate it. She     just masks her anger better than I do.
     
     Truth: Maddye is loving her new school. We're pretty proud of her,     and we're hoping for a great 5th grade experience. 
     
     Truth: Maddye, Maverick and I are NOT morning people. Mornings are     not amusing. Mornings are not fun. 
     
     Truth: Greg is a morning person. There are days I want to strangle     him. There are days it takes everything I have in me not to snap and     say "shut it!". Greg is only chatty in the morning I swear. I do     believe that he knows it drives me mad, and he's trying to make me     snap. The silly man thought we would become morning people....not     gonna happen.
     
     Truth: We have bees. Not a few bees. I'm talking full colony of     freaking bees taking up residency in the wall of our fireplace. They     are able to get in through the fireplace. We've tried to use spray,     we've even used heavy duty concentrate insecticide. The only thing     we've accomplished is turning our patio into a bee battle ground.     There are dead bees everywhere...yet we still see them flying in and     out, and getting into our house. I vote for a professional. Where     the hell is the Bug-Busters when you need him?
     
     Truth: If I owned a pest control company I would call it     "Bug-Busters"...who you gonna call....Bug Busters. Oh I can see it     now. 
     
     Truth: Maverick might be smarter than me. This kid really amazes me.     He is saying EVERYTHING, and is just too smart for his own good. 
     
     Truth: We recently came home from vacation to maggots in our sink.     There is nothing better than a big fat maggot welcoming you home to     reality. It was so gross. Apparently a fly thought it was a great     idea to lay eggs in our garbage disposal. Note to self: put the     stopper in, and bleach in the sink! 
     
     Truth: Things that I think about happen. Now before you chalk me up     to another loon, listen! The penis in the garbage disposal thing,     and now a murder at Put-In-Bay. No..I did not think about killing     anyone, but while we were there I thought holy shit if someone     wanted to bad bad things- they might just get away with     it..especially on Middle Bass Island. I'm just saying. I was     wrong....the person who did the killing did get caught. But....still     my thoughts happen a few weeks later. Weird. 
     
     Truth: For those of you that are local- Middle Bass Island is one     creepy place. If someone wanted to film a horror movie Middle Bass     Island is the place to go. I have no idea how someone could live     there!! We did find out that there were a couple of college kids     from Kazakhstan working at a restaurant for the summer there. (One     of the two restaurants on the island...just sayin) . I told Greg     over and over...."I don't belong here".
     
     Truth: I hate waking up at 6am...did I mention that already?
