  • I Just Couldn't Resist Her....

    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I apologize to everyone for not having a blog yesterday but you have to understand.....Chewlee fell asleep in my arms and there is nothing that is more wonderful than a child who loves and trusts you enough to do that.  I, of course, fell asleep with her after a bit.  It was thundering outside and it was very loud thunder.  That scares her and is why she curled up in my lap in the recliner.  I rocked her while watching TV and she fell sound asleep.  Now I may be a real sucker but there was no way in hell that I was going to give up the feeling it gave me to have her arm around my neck and the other arm across my chest.  I finally kicked back the recliner and we both went soundly asleep.

    Today she wrote *I love you, I love you, I love you Grandma* on a sheet of her paper.  It was kind of dismal today and a fine mist fell down for most of the day.  It's supposed to be clear and sunny tomorrow but I don't believe the weatherman is really sure.  We have rain and more thunder tonight and I am trying to get Chewlee asleep with the idea that the angels are bowling up in heaven (I was told that same sad story as a kid....LOL)  Unfortunately, she has no idea what bowling is so I switched it to playing soccer.  She knows what THAT is.  I'm not sure she's buying it but she is staying in bed.  Boomers are getting louder so I may end up with her in here after all.  We shall see.

    I got another letter from Bratfink today.  Chewlee was all upset that she never gets anything unless it's from Aunt Bratfink.  She thinks no one else loves her.  I read her some of the letter but her little heart was broken that she didn't get anything.  She did like that SHE was mentioned in the letter, however, so she calmed down.  I had to show her where Auntie Bratfink mentioned her and she got a kick out of being called Chewlee.

    Poor Bratfink said that even Sheldon said he feels like they are living like Cave people.  She has no TV (only DVD's), no Internet, no Tweets.  She's been doing a lot of cleaning out things and even cleaned off her desktop once again.  Now THAT is BORED!  LOL  She's hoping Sheldon gets all his legal problems straightened out soon so they can once again enter the human race.

    Another thing Chewlee did was make a list of things that she and I can do tomorrow.  Eat breakfast, find a stone we can use as a grave marker for her dead fish (yes, it did finally die.  I think it was lonely), ride her bike, eat lunch, play a computer game.  Since her mother is going to pick her up once they get back in town (around 3 or so, depending on traffic), I told her we might not get to do all that but she has a heart full of hope.  She keeps telling me *it's Spring Break, Grandma!*.    Like I wasn't aware of that.  I have to check with the Princess about what is going on next week with HER break from the OTHER college campus she attends.  **Sigh** I can't keep up at times.

    The Beast is still not well and not breathing well either.  He gets very pale if he does too much.  I'm definitely worried and will INSIST the doctor sees him tomorrow.  He may have to get to a respiratory specialist.  I know he can't go on this way.  He's scared although he won't admit it.  I can tell.  I saw him looking out at the garden and he has things he wants to do but he can't while he's feeling like this.  There may be things the doctor can prescribe for him.  At least, I hope so.

    Sheepie called me for my salsa recipe and I gave her the quick way to make some up and some spices to add.  She wanted it soupy or with a lot of liquid so I recommended the V-8 spicy for that.  I hope it came out okay for her.  I do that at times when I want some with my tortilla chips.  Chewlee likes the liquid more than the real salsa and it can be very HOT and she will still eat it.

    Love you all loads.  Thanks for coming by.  The rain is a torrent right now but the boomers are gone.  Poor Baron wants out but he won't go out in this kind of rain.  I really feel for him.  Hope your weather is better.
