Halloween

Morning all. The little ghosts and goblins are out already. Came to school today and saw one 1st grader with red stuff around her throat. Asked her what it was and she said I'm supposed to be dead because my throat is cut. EEEWWWW. These parents just don't get into princesses and that kind of stuff anymore.
Had a he*l of a night last night. Thought there was a dead mouse under my freezer in the laundry room. Of course, I'm blonde. Never thought to check ..... THE FREEZER!!! It had died and man, did it reek. (And Lisa thought her chicken smelled bad!!!) Good thing it was a small one and only half full. I started moving my tubs full of fabric out so they wouldn't smell so much and then when DH & DS got home we carried the stuff out. DH & DS were standing out the back door (the big wussies) waiting for me to give them tub fulls of 'the stuff'. DS had an old t-shirt wrapped around his face with a clothespin on his nose and one of those tree air fresheners stuffed in there somewhere. LOL The freezer wasn't even 20 years old, so I never thought to check it. Dumb me. Next time (hopefully not again) I will know better.
Went to get the cows out in the corn stalks yesterday after work and before my odiforous evening, and the cows just wouldn't cooperate. They didn't think they should have to come out of there. Especially Arnold, our two year old bull. He just stood there and looked at me, even when I was buzzing by with the three-wheeler. That's the problem when you get something that is too tame. They think they can do what they want. I found him when he was a calf, half dead. Mama was a 'jumper' and she had him in some CRP acres and then jumped back into the pasture. When I found him he was flat as a pancake with his eyes rolled back in his head. I had a heck of a time getting him on the three-wheeler to get him to the barn because he was so big. I tube fed him and shot him up full of b-12 and some antibiotics and he pulled through. He ended up being a bottle calf because mama didn't want him then. Now, he's a beautiful 2 year old bull. Too tame, though.
Well, better see if any of the ghouls here at school are floating around or climbing the walls. They are having their Halloween parties this morning because we dismiss today at noon for some teacher inservices. The parents will be really happy that they are getting loads of suger before dinner. Oh, well, it's only once a year.
Gotta get back to work.
Take care everyone.
