  • We Gotta Hurry 'Cause Winter's Coming!


    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    That's what Chewlee told me when I picked her up from preschool.  *We gotta hurry, Gramma!  Winter's coming!*  When I asked her WHY we had to hurry, she just gave me this look like I was asking a really dumb question.  I told her that it was going to be a while longer before winter got here and she just said, *You'll see!*  You can't argue with a kid that has her mind made up, can you? 

    It did make me wonder just why she was so sure it was going to happen before we got safely home.  Knowing Chewlee, it could be something she overheard so there's no way to tell.

    For some unknown and unfathomable reason, Chewlee was sent home from preschool today with NO PULLUPS ON!    I know.  We didn't find out until the Princess got here.  Chewlee told me she farted and that was why she smelled stinky and she fought me checking her out.  I warned her that she wouldn't be able to fool mommy but she ignored me and just sat in her Dora chair.  I was trying to get dinner done and figured I would check her out after I finished making it.  However, the Princess got here a bit earlier than expected so, when she went to check her, she whomped her bottom for lying (she had said she didn't poop) and, when she pulled off the jeans (which had a wet streak down the inseams) the lack of pullups was discovered.  It was a real mess since Chewlee obviously is still suffering from a bit of diarrhea.  The Princess was livid and said they were not going to be happy in the morning because there was no excuse for that.  They usually send home a note if she needs to give them more pullups and she had no note.  I recall that they have used other kids pullups at times when they run short and just replace them the next day when the Princess drops more off. 

    Chewlee was not a happy camper going home since her mother was angry with her AND with the school.  I know she's going to be VERY good the next few days because Chewlee hates when her mother is upset with her.

    I made some spaghetti for dinner for us tonight and I think the Princess will probably come over for lunch tomorrow since she knows I made it.  I also made us some Texas Toast (the five cheese type) and added just a touch more shredded mozzarella cheese on it.  It all was scrumptious. 

    The thunderstorm hit here last night before I went to bed.  There was definitely rain, thunder and lightning but no tornadoes nor any hail, thank goodness.  I went to sleep with the thunder all around us but it was a kind of lullaby to me with the sound of the rain, too.  It helps drown out the Beast's snores.    Tonight it won't get down very far (just in high 60's) but no rain.  The forecast for tomorrow is rain, however, with a high around 80.  I'm pretty sure this will be the last hurrah for warm weather since it's always gone before Halloween and you know how close THAT is now. 

    Time to get this up for you to read later.  Love you all and I hope you have a great week ahead.
