  • Are You Ready For Ghouls And Goblins?


    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I almost got to find out if the Princess dressed up Chewlee for the preschool Halloween Party today.  I wasn't supposed to pick her up, as I mentioned, since the Princess got off work early enough to do that herself.  However, about 5:10pm, I got a frantic call from her to pick up Chewlee since she was still with customers and couldn't leave them.  However, when I checked, the Beast was gone in the car and the truck still had the trailer with the ATV on it attached. 

    I called back with an SOS since the Beast had not taken either of his phones with him.  She said (as if it was MY fault) that IF she could get back to the customers, she might be able to finish up and still get Chewlee.  So, I sweat it out and hoped that the Beast got home quickly from wherever he was ...just in case!  When he walked in the door, I called the Princess's work # and found out she was just walking out the door so I breathed a sigh of relief since she was much closer than I was anyway.  I yelled at the Beast for going out without a phone on him and he just shrugged and said I should have figured he wouldn't be gone long since he took Baron with him.  I reminded him that he often takes the dog down by the river for a run and he's gone a long time when he does.  He forgot about that.

    End result was that I don't know if Chewlee dressed up or not.  *Sigh*  Oh well.  I'm not even sure if the Princess or Johnnycakes has plans on taking her to any of the local events for the kids.  I do remember how it was always a real event for the Princess as a kid and her costume had to be *just right* or she pouted.  It sometimes took days to figure out what she even wanted to wear.  At least Chewlee is at the age that she will wear whatever Mommy picks out and the Princess doesn't have to worry about THAT being a problem.  I almost can't wait until it IS a problem for her.  Paybacks are a bitch. 

    I did check on the candy stash and I have a bowl handy to put it in when we find out if we will get any kids at all this year.  I have always tried to keep candy here...just in case....even when we didn't have little kids living nearby.  But, we have two families now with kids...make that three...almost forgot about the original kid that has lived here for the last two years.  He's older and what you would call *portly* so I'm not sure if his mom and dad will let him do the T or T thing.  He didn't last year.  The ones I would love to see are the little ones from the family that lives in the house where Baron cuts through their yard to beat the Beast home when they do their *run* around the circle.  I love when the little ones dress up and come to the door.  They are always so adorable.  I believe there are four that look like they are 8 and under but I'm only guessing.  The other new family, the kids are a little older than that but not by much.  And there are only two of them that I have seen.

    I got a package yesterday of some things I ordered for Christmas.  They're decorations and they are so neat!  I got two of each; one is a Santa and the other is a snowman.  They stick on either doors or windows and they are lit from within but....they change color.  It goes from white to blue to green to red and so on.  I put one on the window just above the top of my monitor last night and watched it and they are going to look so cool!  I will be putting up the outside lights probably the weekend before Thanksgiving so that our house is fully decorated during the Holidays.  I am so looking forward to this, I can't even begin to tell you.  It's my favorite holiday and I am like a little kid.  I love to get gifts and see people open them.  I love it when I get that perfect gift for them although that's not always possible.  But...I DO try.

    The Beast is feeling a bit under the weather tonight so he went to bed early after a hot bath and a swig of Nyquil.  He swears by that stuff and loves the original green stuff.  I can tolerate the red but I actually prefer Theraflu.  It's for more than just the flu these days...

    Love you all and I hope you enjoy your weekend.  Get ready for those ghosts and goblins.

  • All is not rainbows and butterflies in Bratsis world---only one child ever shown brightly---and she went down in a shower of drug-addicted prostitution------her child was taken in and  protected----meanwhile ---another grandchild was thrown to the wind and left with a drunken wife-beater who is now abusing drugs............not the perfect grandmother she portrays herself to be..............................

  • Now grandma won't even speak to me----she hangs the phone up every time I call--or just won't answer----her grandchild needs help and she won't even consider addressing the issue,...............................

  • Rolling my eyes over the words of a mother trying to push off HER child to two old people past their prime.  It's not our job and shouldn't be, should it.  

  • Also, phone died.  If you must talk, call your father.

  • I offered to pay for clothing and other expenses-----all she would need was a place to sleep----------and her phone dying is a lame excuse for hanging up on me

  • I will not be drawn into an argument over how much better you think your sister's (the drug addicted one) child was treated.  When we took her in permanently it was 13 years ago.  We were 13 years younger.  She is your child and you should be happy to take her in.  Like I said, we can get her to you and YOU deal with all the teen problems.  We shouldn't have to.
