Jumpy as spit on a hot skillet

This week the wait may be over.  Likely tomorrow.  Our son John will find out the results of the bar exam he took ... IN JULY!  I fully believe the long wait is built in to for the benefit of someone's demented sense of humor.

We all are so nervous.  So, in Texas slang, how nervous are we?

As nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room fulla rockers.

As nervous as a porcupine in a balloon factory.

Jumpy as spit on a hot skillet.

Shakin like a skinny dog tryin to pass a peach pit.

Sweatin like a turkey on the day before Thanksgiving.


We are proud of you John.  We have your back no matter the results. That's a given. You have chosen a difficult path, but as we used to tell you when you were little: you can't get lard unless you boil the hog.
