HOW NOT to wake UP hhhahaha!

[MaxandMe]

ding ding ring ring obnoxious cell phone alarm goes off.......6:00am
OKAY i am up with eyelids slightly glued shut ...MAX and PEANUT aren't much help as they follow me to the dining room
only to go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz again.
takes me 10min to realize the reason i can't see my yard isn't cause my glasses are in the other room
it's the neat thick FOG!! wow can't see beyond 10ft

slowly make my way to get coffee......type a few infamous long winded replies on DM
monotonly make doodles breafast, feed and walk them
take shower get ready for work with MAX and peanut now eagerly wrestle by my legs hahaaaaaaa
getting dressed is no easy task.

GREAT i am going in EARLY TO WORK , have handbag, keys, hot coffee in hand and open door
ONLY TO GREAT a bunch of HORNESTS (yellow jacket wasps really) that got SUPER ANGRY i walked out my door into them

GREAT i am NOW battling these things, swinging my handbag like an idiot i finally drop it
to yank OUT a WASP up my nose stinging me while another one stings me on outside of my nose

I CANNOT REPEAT the LOVELY string of melodic words that i screamed at that moment.

go in house put nose under faucet make up BAKING SODA paste and smudge across my nose and face
DRIVE to work looking like an addict that had a major cocaine high gone awry!!!

i did manage to bring meat tenderizer with me and the baking soda........tell my boss : meeting is off as i need gauze and bandaids
so i can make a paste to draw out stingers and IF left on for 5 hours will take away ALL SWELLING andn much pain
SO i have a huge bandage across half my face and covering my nose.
NOTE: at one point I had to make a sign saying BEE STINGS as people walking by were concerend
so while i was on the phone working i'd JUST HOLD UP THE SIGN =)) =)) =)) =)) (which would answer what was wrong)

NOW? still in pain, we sprayed the nest that is under the siding by my front door and i am having my 2nd beer
hoping i won't need 3 hahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at least i dont have an elephant face anymore

OH like i said........having bees sting your nose is NOT THE WAY to fully wake up!!! hahhaaaaaaaa
I TRIEd it and can say it' aint fun folks!! hahaaaaaaaaaaa

Oh Annmarie, what a terrible morning. I hope the rest of your days turns out better.

Well, AM, I must confess...as sorry as I am that you are hurt...I was busting a gut laughing!

You know...it's sort of like watching someone take a fall...but you can't laugh until you know that they are okay...then you just can't stop...???

Well, I knew you were okay because you were writing about it...and it just kept getting funnier! A sign? hahahahaha!!! A bandage?? HARRRAHHHAAAAAWRRRR!!! Powder paste!!?? Now I am crying!

I can't imagine any place more sensitive for a sting than in and on your nose! (Well, a couple of places do come to mind...but we won't go there...)

My son once was stung by hornets and I didn't know what it was because I didn't see it...he fell on the lawn at a school yard and jumped up screaming (he was only 3) and I started grabbing his clothes to rip them off and whatever it was kept stinging me! Still I never saw it...so, to be on the safe side, we went to the ER...was told that it was a wasp...that they don't have stingers, they actually bite. Damn things.

Hope you are feeling better...but, please, do take a picture!

OMG...only YOU Annmarie..only YOU!!!!!
You should be a stand up comedian, with the way you write your escapades!!!! Make a lot of money on your mishaps!!
Maybe take the place of Irma!!! (But I'm really happy you're allright!)

I am sooooooooo guilty of things like this! One time, Walt was getting into a car. He had a baseball cap on and that button thingie on top hit the door and stabbed him on the head! Me? I absolutely almost peed my pants looking at the hole in his head shaped like the button.
He's use to me now.........
Oh! Annmarie........I think it was the swinging of the handbag image that got me going!!
Other then that..........WOW! How horrifying and painful!!! You're lucky you didn't have an allergic reaction!!

Okay....funny story b/c it has to do w/ my Ex. We were at the cottage. He takes a bathing suit off the clothesline and goes inside to put it on. I heard all this unbelievable yelling and PAIN sound coming from the bathroom. Yep! A hornet in his suit got him in the you know what's!!!
OMG! Only a person like him deserved that one! He had to go to ER as these "things" swelled up like baseballs!
Okay......enough of that!
