Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Lessons from the Janitor's Closet


  • Regret: discovering the sink has not been cleaned after mopping the bathroom floor
  • Futility: washing the big glass doors on a day when storms are forecast
  • Gruesomity: slurping up 1000 lady bird beetles with the vacuum
  • Morbidity: hearing said beetles whirl around inside the canister on one's back
    {9:55 edit}Stenchability: the smell that makes you wonder if the soybean aphid was really all that bad....

You said nothing about the odor that wafts in the atmosphere after slurping up said beetles.....

Ugh. Reminds me of our very first rental abode....(landlord's fault)

Nothing like opening a kitchen cupboard and having them drop out on you.

But, the best part was seeing them come scurrying out of the oven during the preheat.

Cuts the ol' appetite right in half. I lost weight that summer...
