June Bug already?!

This year we've had snow in April, barely any flowers in May and now I have a June Bug on my back door screen! What is going on in the Midwest? Well, the way I see it is if there are going to be early June Bugs then warm weather better get here really soon. Today was so nice and the sun was out all day, yet every few days it seems cold weather doesn't want to leave. Raise your hand if you want to move to a warmer climate... I do I do lol If we didn't have bitter cold winters and tons of snow then I'd be fine but this year went way below it should have. I like all four seasons but in moderation :) And definitely not in one month like we had in April. ( I think it was April lol) .
I was going to take a picture of that noisy June Bug but not too sure what I did with my camera but tomorrow night I'm sure the bug will be back so I'll post it then. Go figure.. Raine thinks all bugs bite so I had her sit here looking up information on them and she was quite grossed out. Apparently the bugs can help save lives and are very nuriting . Also , they supposedly taste like molasses and some kind of syrup ,gross and interesting at the same time. But I had to show her or she would've been freaking out every time she saw one and I can't stand the whining and screeching. Well, I'd better bring Herbie in , he's chasing the bugs around the yard LOL
Have a good night !

All of us wonder when things will look up and some may get what they wish for but others (most people) will continue to wait and keep truckin through life as it is. All my life I have noticed that people who are good , trust worthy, will do anything for others no matter how small etc, they get the shaft! But some still continue to be good. My husband's truck was doing fine, getting him to and from work and I had my car (old but runs) for emergencies, arrands etc, his truck decided to break down. But not something simple of course, that would never happen. My hubby changed the head gasket and fuel something or other and the engine runs like a champ, go figure the clutch had to go out. Job hunting was hard enough around his and Raine's schedule with 2 vehicles as it was, but now job hunting is on hold until a miracle happens to fix the truck. What's really sad is we're used to things going wrong lol . We always say if we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all.
Some good news though in this crappy time, my cousin in TN looks and seems well (my mom told me) , my husband changed departments and went to 2nd shift this week (better boss and less stress on him at work) , my Aunt's emergency sugery went well and is doing ok and hopefully will be able to move where she can survive with just one small income. So some good news to spread. Even little things give some light at the end of that long tunnel, it brightens my day when someone has good news to share. Keeping our heads up and living the best we can is the best thing to do in this troubled economy and constant bad luck streak we all seem to be facing. So today I will be smiling as if I have no stress and hope for the best to come
