Has anyone heard of them? Not us until tonight. Tom and I were out pulling weeds in the front of our house and let me tell you, with all the rain and humidity, the weeds just kind of took over! Wow and we didn't even get them all. Tom is down by the driveway pulling weeds by the front steps and he saw something..white, slimy balls. I should go take pictures, but I don't feel like getting up. Anyway, there are a TON of them, they look like an egg or something. The neighbor was over and we asked her and she said it looked like snake eggs, I about died, there better not be any "snake" eggs in the front of our house. So we, Tom, kept raking these things and we filled the bottom of a bucket because I wanted to call my Pest Control guy and see if he had a clue. Not only are these little things slimy, they STINK, big time. We thought it smelled like cat piss or something like that. We only smelled it down by the garage when you walk in front of the steps. Every once in a while with the windows open, sitting on our couch, I would get a whiff of something stinky. So anyway, I called the Pest dude and asked him about it and he's going to come out on Thursday, however Tom was googling mulch or something and came up with stinkhorns. That's what they're called, check them out. They are a fungus that grows off wet mulch and there's not much you can do to get rid of them. Even if you did them up and get rid of the mulch, they are probably still going to come back. They grow slimy and like a mushroom, their just gross, that's all I can say about them.
So off to other things, now that I just grossed everyone out. I even called mom and she hadn't heard of them, that's the first!
Micayla had her knee surgery yesterday and everything went good. They found some "stuff" inside her knee that they scraped out, some fluid behind her knee cap. So they scrapped it out and it should take care of the pain she's been having. Today she went to therapy and she said they bent her knee like 30 degrees or something and tomorrow they are going to go a little farther. Tonight she said she was bored and asked to go to Walmart with her friend Megan, oh hello we don't think so! She couldn't understand. She's on crutches and all! Sorry K... She did have a few friends come over and her friend Megan, who had this same surger a a couple months ago, were sitting outside in the back and as we were out front enjoying the beautiful night, other than the stinkhorns, she asked for a warm washcloth. Tom and I are both like why? Well, Megan decided to take off Micayla's knee wrap, the one the doctor told her to leave on until the therapist take off. Well, since Megan had surgery and "her" doctor told her to not leave the wrap on decided to take it off Micayla. Then Megan said she's supposed to take it off and put a warm wash cloth on her knee. Needless to say Tom was not too happy and Megan wrapped it back up. Tom's like "you're not her doctor" LOL Tomorrow she thinks the wrap will "officially" come off, she said it's really itching but she hasn't complained of any pain so either the pain pills are doing there job or it doesn't hurt too bad. Or she just wanted to say it was fine to be able to go with Megan to Walmart. Who knows, you know how these kids try and play us.
