• I'm Late, I'm Late....

  TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

  My Internet is acting strange today even though it's only partly cloudy outside.  I will more than likely be late posting because of that.  I will have to wait until I'm sure the problem has passed before I try to post.  I am tired of sending off my blogs into hyperspace. 

  The Beast returned home today.  Yep, early.  I was disappointed but not surprised.  When he told me Auntie Em was very sick, I somehow knew he would hightail it out of there because *he* would start feeling sick.  He's like that.  When I heard Baron's nails on the floor, I wasn't surprised.  Sure enough, he said he had started feeling bad last night when he went to bed so he left this morning *just in case*.

  It always puts a crimp in what I have planned to do around here because he either has to interfere with suggestions or he gets underfoot.  Some people are just like that.  It just means that I have to rethink how to get a few things done now that he's home.  What I could have done in one day will now probably take me two or three.  Oh well.

  I have to tell you something funny.  Chewlee wanted a hot dog for lunch (what a surprise!) and I gave her some Fritos to go with it.  Plus, I promised her some bubble gum after lunch that she was looking forward to getting.  When she got her hot dog, she had this huge smile on her face and she said to me (with enthusiasm)....* A hot dog, some chips, chocolate milk and gum.....PERFECT!*    She DID round out her lunch with an orange she had me peel for her.  She handed me her gum to hold for her until she finished the orange and told me I was just to hold it for her and I was NOT to chew it.  I assured her that I wouldn't.

  The Princess wanted to take Chewlee to the Halloween House but it isn't open during the day.  Instead, they went to a kind of trade show/flea market/4F exhibit.  Chewlee loved the 4F part because they had all kinds of animals there and she even got to pet or touch some of them.  She loves just about all living things (not ants that bite or icky spiders tho/) and kept trying to get us to let her keep a couple caterpillars and worms as pets.  She had to be convinced that they MUST live outside and/or in the ground to survive before she would let them go.

  The Beast is going to take one more day to rest up before he starts back in on the work on the cottage/shed.  Tara had to take a look at the work that was done even though I told her it was no way near ready.  But she noticed all the important things which should tickle the Beast when I tell him.  She will be here on Tuesday so I know she will mention it to him when she is here.

  Love you all.  Hope you had a good weekend and an even better week is ahead for us all.
