• Paint Me A Sad Face

  TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

  I woke up early, checked out my email, had some toast and coffee then went back to sleep in my chair.  I had actually spent the night sleeping with Chewlee (and Baron joined us at some point).  She actually kept her hand over mine like she was checking to make sure I not only slept with her like I promised but also to keep me there.    However, the way I woke up was being slowly but surely pushed off the bed by the two aforementioned *kids*.  If I hadn’t had a good pillow under my head, I probably would have hurt myself when I slid to the floor.
  

  The Princess picked her up around 10:15am or so and was going to take her home, change her clothes and then they had some shopping to do since Chewlee is fast outgrowing her jeans and pants.  Chewlee was happy because her mother promised to buy her *soft* pants and I gather those are like sweat pants.  Chewlee hates pants that don’t bend or are *stiff* like blue jeans are.  The Princess was supposed to stop and buy me something before she came to pick up Chewlee but found the store closed.  She said she would stop by later but she never did.  **Sigh**  I’m just so easy to forget about.  It means nothing tomorrow because the store is closed.  It upsets me because I feel kind of like I’m a real sucker.  Oh well.  Just another disappointment.
  

  The rest of the day, the Beast and I spent doing laundry.  I usually fold the clothes.  He usually puts the sorted clothes in the washer and, when they are done, moves them to the dryer.  Lately, however, I’m trying to make sure *I* do the drying because I’m tired of his never getting the towels fully dry.  He never checks them to make sure they are and, no matter how often I have to toss them back into the dryer and keep telling him about how damp towels are unhealthy and WILL mold, he just doesn’t seem to learn that.  He’s doing much better about hanging up his shirts as soon as they are dry. 
  

  He decided to make some northern bean soup tonight for us to have for dinner tomorrow along with some corn muffins.  He bought one of those ham slices to use in the bean soup and I cut us a couple sections to fry up along with some eggs for our dinner.  Sometimes having breakfast for dinner tastes just wonderful.  We used some honey wheat bread for toast which was a perfect addition and made us feel like we were being healthier. 
  

  I still have two more loads to do tomorrow since I decided to do the linens from the beds along with the light quilts.  We even turned the mattresses which we haven’t been doing regularly for a while.  I just didn’t have the strength for a long time.  But now I am happily tired and heading for bed early. 
  

  Love you all and I hope you have a great Sunday.  Spend it with someone you love.
