  • Talk About A Bed Hog! And Prayers Requested

    I carried the baby to bed and hit the sack early since I knew she would wake up early.  What a night!  I haven't slept with anyone that was such a bedhog since her mother when SHE was young.  I kept finding myself pushed almost to the edge and I had to rouse myself to move her over three or four times during the night.  I was actually exhausted when I dragged my butt out of bed. 

    The funny thing is that I think she was, too.  After I changed her diaper and gave her a sippy cup with milk, she laid down again on the floor here in my computer room and she fell back asleep.  Truth be told, I laid down next to her and did the same thing. 

    We had a nice day together once we woke up.  SpongeBob was on the list of things she wanted on the TV and when I tried to change it just to see what else might be on, she would turn to me and tell me to *stop it!* and put on SpongeBob.  It was just so darn funny.  I started doing it just to irritate her but only for a little while.  She ate her kids meal (one of the TV dinners which shall remain nameless).  Chicken nuggets, french fries, corn and pudding with sprinkles.  She ate like a little piggy even though she had eaten a big bowl of cereal just a couple hours before.  But some days she is like that.  She's a *dipper* for those that want to know.  She actually likes my homemade honey mustard.  When the chicken nuggets were gone, she was eating it on the spoon.   She had the chocolate pudding but only ate maybe two spoons full.  Just not her *thing*.  She prefers fruit so I cut up some apple slices and she snacked on those.

    When Tara came to pick her up, she was reluctant at first to go except that she was told she could play with Chance (the baby).  He's crawling and pulling himself up on furniture these days.  They grow up so fast...! *Sigh*  She will be home tomorrow afternoon sometime when Johnnycakes picks her up.  I think by then she will be happy to sleep in her own bed.  The Princess called her this afternoon to talk to her and tell her to be good while she was gone. 

    In case you forgot, the Princess went to Florida to visit her friends that she hasn't seen in a year.  Her best friend had a baby while she was gone and he's almost a year old now.  The Princess hadn't even seen him yet.  I know she will enjoy herself for the short time she is there.  She claims she is making a trip to the beach no matter what the weather.  If it's nice weather, I am betting she will stay until she has at least a bit of tan.  She has the skin for it to be easy and that will make her happy.  She will fly back on Monday and, if she isn't back before Johnnycakes has to go to work, he will drop the baby off here for me.  She will pick her up as soon as she's back from Atlanta.

    As to the prayers I mentioned.  I have an online friend named Linda and she is married to an older man.  She has always kind of reminded me of Cinderella because of that.  Her hubby has been suffering from heart problems for quite a while.  He has six blockages to his heart and it labors badly.  Now his kidneys are failing and his doctor says that he cannot go through any surgery because of his heart.  To undergo dialysis, he would need to have the shunt for it surgically implanted.  It's a Catch-22 situation and the doctors are also worried for Linda.  She's recovered from a stroke a couple years ago and now they think the strain of dealing with all this might cause her to have another one.  I can understand that because I know how much of an emotional strain dealing with an ill or ailing husband can be.  They both could use some prayers.  If you can find it in your heart, please say a prayer for Linda and her husband.  I'm sorry but I can't remember his name right now and Linda isn't online to ask.  I'll add it in tomorrow's blog.  BTW, her hubby is 81.  She is almost 20 years younger.

    Oh, and I talked to the Beast today (Saturday) and he is still in Centralia.  He will be following his brother back up to the house in the Chicago area tomorrow (so Bratfink loses her bet).  I will probably lose mine too since he hasn't gotten to his brother, Renoir's, house to put together his new computer.  All the parts are at his house and I imagine the Beast won't get there until Monday.  If he actually stays as long as he said he would, I will faint.  It will be a first.

    Love you all.  Have a great day.  Hope you have nice weather.  It's been cold here at night but decent during the day.  It actually got all the way up to 72 after a night where it was down to 41.  Got a thought for you today.  Here it is and I want you to think about it.......


    Life is short.  Break the rules.  Forgive quickly.  Kiss slowly.  Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably....And never regret anything that made you smile..
