  • Surprise! Rain…..

    I slept late again today. I wasn’t feeling as well as I thought I was. Neither was the Beast and even Baron was *off* a bit. His appetite sure was and he didn’t hound the Beast for his run around the circle like he usually does.

    I did, however, make us dinner (leftover KFC, mashed potatoes and gravy plus cole slaw). I wasn’t feeling so badly by the time Chewlee got picked up by her mother. It was fairly early so there was no problem with what Chewlee would have to eat since she would eat with her mother.

    Good news, however. Chewlee has only had two days when she wasn’t behaving and, even then, they weren’t bad. But she’s done amazing on her recent tests…spelling, comprehension and one other I can’t recall right now.. All three she got 100% and that was an A+ for her. She got an Italian ice (one of her very favorite things) as a reward from her mother for those.

    I thought someone had stolen Chewlee’s bike but it turned out that she left it over at one of her friend’s houses and she got it back yesterday. I’m hoping this teaches her to be more careful with it because I told her we would NOT buy her another bike for a few years. That didn’t make her happy but she DID say she knew she left it at one of her friends houses but she wasn’t sure which one it was. From no kids in the neighborhood to an abundance. There’s just no telling what life holds, is there?

    It rained. It thundered. It then became one of those light rains that is more a mist. That didn’t stop Chewlee. As soon as it was like that, she was off to retrieve her book from another one of her friends homes that she had left it at yesterday.

    When her mother went to retrieve her, Chewlee was on her way back here and complaining that it was the *worst day of her life!* because none of her friends could play with her. Some were grounded, others were eating and others were doing something for their mother (probably cleaning their rooms). But after she found out about the Italian ice, she brightened right up.

    The rain was welcome because it cooled us right down and it felt good. I even went and sat outside for a bit to enjoy it. It was *misting* at the time but I didn’t care. It felt THAT good….LOL!

    The Beast watched his football game and then went to bed. He was a bit unhappy with fighting with the manager at Lowe’s about the charges for the carpeting AND the fact that we still don’t know when it’s going to be installed.

    I gather that they (the sub-contractors) over-estimated the amount of carpeting that will be required. The Beast went in with the figures that should have been charged and got a $70. refund on it. He still wasn’t happy with that but he was so disgusted, he didn’t want to talk about it. I don’t know if it wasn’t enough or he was just unhappy that he STILL doesn’t know which day our new carpet will be installed. It’s one they have in stock so we don’t see the problem with getting a definite day but who the hell knows?

    Love you all. Hope you had a day that you enjoyed and no frustrations. Be careful driving. Dress appropriately for the weather you are having. I’ll be thinking of you all when I watch the World Weather. **Grin**
