Yesterday Chewlee called me to ask if she could have a sleepover. I had promised her she could when her mother said it was okay. I wanted to make sure she didn't have any activity that she needed to be at first and foremost. Well, it seems they have no more football games until around Christmas and her practices take place during the week to get ready for that. So, she called and reminded me that I had promised her (although I told her after Thanksgiving Day) but she's a kid.
Chewlee fell asleep while we were watching an Animal Planet special so I covered her up and turned off the light. The Beast was already in bed and I decided to get some rest, too. We both slept thru the night, which I needed because I woke up with a case of IBS this morning. I think it was because the Beast had turned off the baseboard heater at the fuse box and it got cold in here. I had to get up and turn the heater on my desk up to warm it up for both Chewlee and me. She was asleep on the floor and I knew she had to be cold without that heater working. I was totally pissed at the Beast over that.
But this morning Chewlee wanted to go out and ride her bike. It was 43 degrees out and she had not brought a jacket with her. The Beast told me, like I was an idiot, that *it wasn't all that bad outside so let her go*. But, sure as hell, she was back in the house within about 10 minutes and she was told she couldn't go out again without a jacket. She decided to watch cartoons and also to make some snowflakes with her artists colors (crayons, chalks, paints, etc.) and the paper I keep here for her while she watched TV.
She amazes me how big she is getting. I don't just mean tall...I mean how much older she acts at times. She fixes herself sandwiches now and she is even eating vegetables. Of course, I know most of that is due to her mother cracking down on her and being tough. Eat what we have or go hungry kind of tough. She learned but I am sure it wasn't easy on the Princess. And it's tough to send your child to bed hungry.
I have to post this now because I really need to go lay down for a bit until my tummy settles down. It's nice outside (61 and sunny now). Love you all. Hope you are getting a little relief from the cold weather (and, in some areas, the snow!). Stay warm and try to enjoy the day. ***Hugs***
