go to bed

[Kephapaulos]

That is a good question about slumber parties. I'm not sure why they're called what they. I'd have to look that up.

I had thought of eating peanut butter the same way too. I put some honey in a bowl and ate it with a spoon. You could say I ate it like Winnie the Pooh only with a bowl and spoon.

It's been nasty and rainy all day here. I'm waiting for the cat to come out of hiding so I can put her inside, then go and listen to an audiobook with some tea.

It is already fall is here. No more hot days, not that I miss them. All they do is give me elephant ankles, swollen...big, but not a problem in cool weather.

Dymph, you and I make a pact to actually sleep. Not just wish for it!

No! Stay up all night! Why don't you both have a slumber party instead? j/k

I came home after class and an errand. Then I ate stew. And honey for dessert.

OK Keph, you were just kidding  But it would be quite unseemly and I dare say scandalous for Dymphna and I to have a pajama party in gotobed. All you men wandering in and out. You know. So, Dymph and I will be good and Noble Catholics and refrain from pajama parties in gotobed.  Besides.......there's enough shock and awe around here

Laus? Whatcha drinking tonight? Nevermind....I can't keep up with you. I'll just have something simple. Cold. But simple.

[Carleendiane]

Yep. B.O.R.I.N.G. Don't blame anyone for avoiding this thread. But, strangely, I am not totally bored. I am somewhat sufficient unto myself. 

[Carleendiane]

Ok. One of my sheep got out. So I got my faithful dog. Turned off the electric fence and it jumped back in! Tell me something. Why do my truly dumb sheep know not to touch the fence when the power is on, but my truly brilliant grandchildren still want to touch the fence?

Really? Wow! It's sweatshirt weather here! Cheers!

It's going to be in the 50s tonight.

Do you live in the Middle East?

Long ago I used to eat a little bit on the tip of a spoon.  Hmm, come to think about it, how many times did I do this; it may have added up!  A whole teaspoon all at once would have been too sweet, but who knows what I could have done little by little?

Have your grandchildren actually touched it, yet?

Yes, a few have. It's strong, but wont harm them.

Well, there goes my theory....let the, touch it, and then they won't want to do it again  .  Our electric is pretty strong, though.  Maybe you should kick it up a notch

I hope it's ok to open, Carleen.  You've got a lot on your plate, so I thought I'd help you out =)  Anyway, it's my night off, so the kids are outside at the shed with husband.  I just stepped outside to find my glass of water, and oldest son is standing on top of the farm truck....bare chested, in nothing but a pair of gym shorts     they're barbarians...the whole lot of them.  Laus, what kind of wine do you have for us this evening?

My lovely Munda....I am delighted you have opened up and ordered our wine (LAUS?). Here to nights off, mom. Try to suck all the pleasure you can out of it. It's the little things. A full glass of wine, listening to the littles and almost, almost wanting to get in on their fun time with dad. But busting your buttons at how adorable the barbarians are! I wish my past Littles could be little again. Yes, I was so happy nursing cooking changing diapers doling out graham crackers chopping apples cheese and all kinds of finger food. What I wouldn't give to go back to that!
