Chewlee Comes Prepared And I Miss Bratfink.....Wah!

Bratfink has been spending more of her time tweeting (I think that's what it's called) and reading these days.  That means she hasn't been on an IM with me at all lately and I really miss her.  I pissed her off one night but I think she forgave me because we DID talk at least once after that.  I've been trying really hard to make sure I put the right *sign* up on my IM so there are no more mistakes about whether or not I am here to talk to.  But that's just because she got mad about me not putting the right one up.  But, I don't blame her for doing more reading.  I should be reading more of the books I've downloaded onto my Nook, too.  However, when Chewlee is here without her Ipad or her Leap Frog, guess what she is playing with?  You got it!  She is reading the books I downloaded for her.  She really, really wants to be able to read anything she picks up that is a book.  Well, she's trying.  Of course, when she IS on my Nook, I'm constantly barraged with her spelling out words that she either can't sound out right or she doesn't recognize...yet!

Today Chewlee showed up with a shopping bag full of things for her to use today and tonight for her sleepover.  Even though there's no church tomorrow because of the special meeting today, she wanted a sleepover.  So, she is staying over.  She brought her pajamas, her blankey, her favorite stuffed kitty, a book for me to read to her (I will make her read it to me, instead), her Lady Bug night light and even a soft blanket for me.  She just felt *I* needed a special blanket to take to bed with me when we go to sleep tonight.

Since I have been going to bed earlier (around Midnight, to be honest) because I am trying to get into a more normal (whatever that is!) sleep schedule, I will more than likely go to bed with her much earlier than normal tonight.  That is why I am doing this blog up early for you all to read later.  

Chewlee has been wonderful so far all the time she's been here.  She's done what she has been told (put her crayons and markers up, put your cup on the sink, pick up your boots and stack them by the door....those kind of things) and she's been very polite.  When I complimented her on it, she smiled and said she was doing it because she wanted to but  would I please tell her mommy that?  That made me laugh and I wonder what it was the Princess said to her that brought this about.  Whatever it was, it worked.  I'll be happy to tell the Princess all about it.  LOL!

The Beast is still gone to his special meeting of his church.  He called me earlier during their lunch break to make sure I had fed Baron.  However, Baron can be bad about eating or doing anything when the Beast is gone.  He even called Dennis to take Baron out to see if he might be more amenable to taking a dump with HIM around instead of me.  No such luck.  He's been picking at his food and won't eat it until the Beast is home or he's totally STARVED.  Sheesh!  Talk about *man's best friend!*.....he sure is.

It's cold here.  Our high was only 55 and it was in the 20's this morning so winter is right around the corner.  I expect the Beast to be home within the hour.  He's sneaky and won't call me when he's on his way home.  I don't know what he thinks he's going to catch me doing.  I have no real life except for the occasional trip to the store or a visit to Tara's or the Princess' homes.  Oh, plus Tara occasionally takes me out to lunch.  I'm not counting dinner out with Dennis and Di the other day.  Those times are few and far between.  That was our first time since they bought the lots and built their barn.

The contractor that is supposed to repair the garage still hasn't made it here.  His calls, at 6am mind you, have said he was sick.  He claims he will be here on Monday.  We shall see.

Love you all.  Have a great Sunday.  Keep warm, dry and safe.  **Wink**
