As Chewlee's sleepovers go, this one actually went fairly smoothly. When Chewlee first got here and pulled out her pajamas and other clothes from the little ditty bag she was carrying, she started into a litany of things that were wrong with her. Her leg hurt. She had a headache. She had split her toe open (she ended up putting a bandage on it) and she told me that a split toe, if it had been any worse, could have killed her! She was also hungry and disappointed that she had eaten the last two pickles when she stopped over the other day. She told me, *Grandma! I TOLD you that I should only get ONE a day. You shouldn't have given me TWO!* LOL! My fault, of course.
When NickMom came on at 9pm, she got into her pajamas and we both went to bed in the guest room. I happened to be tired so I didn't even TRY to argue with her. She lay in bed, playing a game on her tablet for a few minutes. I knew she was tired so she wouldn't be playing it long and, sure enough, she turned off her tablet and snuggled up to me. She had pushed the covers off of herself since she said she was *hot*. I knew if she got cold, she would pull the covers over her (or I would). We both fell sound asleep. I woke up around midnight and got up to use the bathroom then went to check for my sister or my friend from California. Bratfink was online and reminded me to turn the clocks ahead (and I did). I was surprised my friend from California wasn't online since it was much earlier there than in my area of the country. Sure enough, my friend from California came online just seconds after I did.
We both had pills to take so we did that and we ended up talking for about an hour before we gave in to our tiredness and went to bed. I could hardly keep my eyes open. I said goodnight to my friend and then told Bratfink I was heading for bed. We gave each other our *love you's* and *sleep well* goodnights and I signed offline.
When I crawled back into bed, Chewlee had missed me and she woke up to chew me out for leaving. Since she didn't know how long I was gone, I told her I had gone to the bathroom (I had!) so she forgave me and we both went back to sleep. She ended up, somehow, sleeping sideways with her legs entwined with mine. She had kicked the covers back and it was THAT that had awakened me. My legs got cold...lol. After I re-covered them, I went back to sleep and we both woke up around 7 or 8am.
Chewlee had told me I was going to be sweating because today was going to be really hot (it was nice but NOT hot!). I think she was slightly disappointed. She did, however, go outside in her pajamas to throw some birdseed on the driveway for the birds. She kept saying it was really nice outside and she was busy when I yelled at her to get back in the house and get dressed and to GET SOME SHOES ON! Kids!
Later on, she got dressed to go to church with the Beast (she almost didn't). When they got home, it took the Beast asking her if she wanted to go for a ride on the *mooter scooter* to get her into her play clothes. It's amazing how quickly she can undress and redress if properly motivated. The Beast dropped her off to play at Sam's house for a while and Chewlee came home on her own about an hour later. She likes playing with Sam but he had a couple other friends over and they were all boys so she wasn't happy about that. She played games on her tablet and watched a movie until her mother came to pick her up around 6pm. That's when I finally got to lay down and take a nap...undisturbed. LOL!
I love that kid to death and she always manages to make me smile and/or laugh. I miss her not coming here after school like she has for the last couple years. Now that the Princess is a stay at home mom (at least for a while) while she is pregnant, even Chewlee has had a tough time adjusting to not coming here to Grandma's house. So her *sleepovers* are fun times for us. We get to see her, talk with her, interact and just love her. LOVE YOU MUCH, CHEWLEE!!!
Time to get this posted. Like I said earlier, it was nice here today. The high was right around 66 degrees, sunny and clear. It is supposed to be right about the same temp tomorrow and a bit up and down for the whole week. I know other parts of the country are still suffering under colder weather and I am saying prayers for them that their weather improves....A LOT!
Love you all. Stay warm and dry. Have a great week. ***Hugs***
