• There Must Be Something Wrong With Me.....

   

  TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

  Maybe I am getting cranky in my old age but it's really starting to annoy me when I find a blog I really like to read and the blogger doesn't keep at it on a daily basis.  Hey, if they can only do it weekly, fine.  Then I won't waste my time going there every day and finding.....old stuff.  I know I may not get mine posted at the same time every day but I DO get it posted.  If I can't for some reason, I let Bratfink know so she can put a note up for the readers I DO have.  But I'm beginning to think maybe it's a sickness with me since it seems like *I* am the abnormal one.  I don't stand in a corner all day so there's always SOMETHING to talk about or remember or be excited about something upcoming.  You know what I mean.  It doesn't have to be earth-shattering although it was kind of fun trying to get it done when the tornadoes hit Alabama in April and we didn't have electricity around here for almost two weeks.  That was shortly after the Beast had put in the solar panels for us...just in case....and it was like he was psycho, err, psychic or something.  We helped keep our neighbors with the baby supplied for some lighting at night and to keep their fridge going.

  I was glad when it ended but....we had some good times, too.  But, of course, we didn't lose our homes like hundreds of others had.  It's why I wouldn't bug the electric company.  Take care of those that really need it (hospitals, clinics, police stations,emergency centers, etc.).  We will manage.  And we did.  We also had enough food stored except for fresh milk but, after a few days, we were able to get even that locally.

  You just never know what might interest people, do you?  I know *I* have been surprised a time or three at what seemed to interest people on my blog.  Chewlee's school is still *off* for the Holidays like all the regular schools are.  So, we had her here for when the Princess had to work.  She was so good today that she was almost amazing.  She just wanted a few things and seemed to want me to just relax and rest.  I know for sure she will miss her Aunt Buttmunch and cousin Sheepie when they go home.  They love her and laugh at her antics.  When they are around, they take care of her needs and let me relax.  *I* am SOOOOO going to miss them myself. 

  I told you Chewlee loved her pillow pet (I got her the rabbit, which is one of the bigger ones).  Well, I haven't heard how Chance reacted to his but, since he was always begging his mother for one, I suspect he loved his, too.  It was the unicorn one and Sheepie was having a FIT over that.  She still is although even Tara told her that a two-year-old isn't going to think, *Oh...a unicorn is for girls!*  Nor is the purple color going to offend him.  He's a baby and he loves all things soft and cuddly.  After all, that's what THEY are, too.  **GRIN**  And Chance is so damn CUTE when he plays with Chewlee.  Chewlee acts like he is HER living doll at times and Chance loves it.  They will play hide-and-seek and make Baron crazy because THEY hide and he has to find them.    I love Chance's giggle and laugh.  It's just so darn adorable.

  When the Princess got here tonight, there were plans on playing cards but I hadn't told Chewlee.  After she found out from her mother (no school, no work for her tomorrow) about the cards, Chewlee came running in here to tell me the GOOD NEWS!  Since she had been curled up on the love seat with Sheepie and the BF, watching a movie, that was very happy news for her.  The Princess stopped and picked me up a bottle of vodka (no mudslide at that liquor store).  She had been willing to get me anything I wanted...Bailey's, Kahlua, rum, brandy, etc. but I stuck with vodka since I haven't had any around for a while.  I'm still going to make the BF pick me up some mudslide when ABC liquors opens up again tomorrow.  I really want some here for New Year's Eve.  The Beast will be in bed early but, hopefully, Bratfink and I will be up to toast each other a Happy New Year (and also it may be our last..LOL).  My daughter may not make it but I know Sheepie will since Midnight is the BF's curfew here. 

  Love you all.  Hope your Holiday was wonderful and that you have made careful New Year's Eve plans with a designated driver.  We haven't gone out in years and consider it *amateur night*.  Better to stay at home and watch the festivities on TV with a few drinks than take any chances out on the roads.  But that's just OUR way of thinking.
