Blue Solo Cup


Well here we are in beautiful Texas. We lived through the multi-state move and are awaiting the closing day on a house here in our 26ft Thor Tahoe Camper trailer. Yep four children, two large dogs, and two insane adults couped up in a camper. I am not complaining. In fact it makes for some fun blog posts (hint hint)

Now it has its fun, don't get me wrong. The larger of our dogs can turn over or scratch and it's like we are riding an amusement park ride, hold on and enjoy the ride. In fact, we didn't even feel the earthquakes and all the following aftershocks in nearby Oklahoma city, or if we did, we just thought is was one of the dogs moving around....

Now Texas has been in a terrible state of drought, as you may well know. The area of the state we are in has luckily not been hit too bad by this but others really have. So Texas is always grateful for rain and this week we have had nearly a half inch in one day. For which I too, was grateful for.
Then we went to get into bed... dun dun dahhhhhhhh (thats forbidding scary movie noise if ya didn't know)
From the skylight/vent a drop falls, you see there is a tiny crack.  I do mean TINY! But you guessed it, all that rain found it's way right into that tiny crack. The teeny tiny CRACK ABOVE OUR BED! MY SIDE of the bed to be exact. (folded arms, tapping foot...)
Out came my husbands ever working mind. I love that man and it really is a good fix for the situation, that is until the water dries up and we can get on top to fix it. He grabbed the duct tape, CORRECTION, the Gorilla Tape. For those who don't know, duct tape will fix anything just ask a man and Gorilla tape is Duct tapes, older, stronger, street wise cousin. Get a roll put it in your man's stocking. Promise he will be happy and one day you might be too.
So without any further adeu, here is my version of the Solo cup song, aptly titled Blue Solo Cup.

Blue Solo Cup, ((uh huh)) please don't fill up...there will be no party, there will be no party...
I love you, Blue Solo Cup, my hubby taped you right up...there will be no party, there will be no party....
Now I really love how your easy to to pack, but I don't really hate how your easy to crack, cause when the cold rain runs down my front or my back my bed becomes quite YUCKY!!!
I have to admit that I am quit smitten with how fast and quick this leak is a quittin'
