• Night Time Klutz

  Well . . . .

  I did it again. 

  I woke up in the middle of the night, heard Stormy (the cat) throwing up in the hallway, and ran down the hall in a dead sleep.  I found her outside the bathroom doorway and bent over to scoop her up and put her on the tile floor (easier to clean up).  I proceeded to knock my head on the door jamb and corner of the opened door.  That bump, in turn, knocked me down to my knees - where Jesse found me.

  Jesse was at my side in an instant.  Rissy told me this morning she heard me moan, "Owwwwwww!  Ohhhhhhh!"  and her daddy say, "Awwwwww, are you okay???!!!"   She also informed me it was 4:44 in the morning when the incident happened!!!  Nothing like having a little reporter in your home!

  One of my readers suggested I wrap myself in bubble wrap.  We are going to Wal-Mart today (while we take the girls to their therapy appointment) and I may just put bubble wrap on the list!!!!

                            
                                            The remaining two flowers on our rose bush!

  We have to pick up the girls' winter shoes, while we are up that way for their appointment.  We ordered them last week.  I can't believe the size of my girls' feet.  Annamarie could, technically, wear a ladies size 7.  The problem with that is the styles of grown up shoes are too grown up for children . . . meaning it will become harder to find shoes for them until their ages catch up with older people's styles!

                           

  Some of my online gift orders arrived yesterday.  I think Luci's and Annamarie's.  I'm wiping the sweat from my brow, as things start to come in.  No last minute shopping this year!  I'm incredibly relieved to have the bulk of gifts chosen, paid for, and arriving on my door step!

  Jesse is off until Monday.  He has some leaf sucking up (???!!!) jobs this morning and Saturday.  Friday morning he is picking up firewood.  I'll enjoy having him home a bit, even though his being home makes him nervous (worried about finances).

                          

  Yesterday afternoon, I brought out some old games that belonged to Nikki when she was a little girl.  I taught Rissy how to play Checkers.  The other two girls were supposed to be watching, but didn't "get it" and thought it was boring.  Rissy ended up with more kings than me and was so excited as she came after my checkers (to attack me).  The vein in her forehead was bulging from her laughing so much!  And yes, she DID win!

  We also played Upwards which is like Scrabble but you can set tiles on top of each other to build new words.  I had to help all of them, but we played 4 rounds and they understood the concept by the 4th round.  It was fun.  We should play games more often!  I have educational games (the human body, The United States,  and The 10 Commandments) and we really should pull those out on school days and put the books away for a day, here and there!

                                
                                                  Little Bit curled upsidedown in Jesse's arm!

  Still haven't baked that banana bread.  Let me ask y'all . . . When the bananas are already black and squishy, do you STILL put them in the freezer?  Or, do you put them in the freezer when they *begin* to over ripen?????

  Can't think of anything else to tell about.  I will heed everyone's advise and stay out of the attic.  I told Jesse my thought about climbing and throwing Rubbermaid bins down to the girls.  AND, I told him about the comments everyone left, begging me to stay on terra firma!  He looked at me like I had rocks in my head.  And maybe I do.  The weight of my head is what has been bringing me downward and making me so clumsy lately!

  Be Blessed  ~
