THGGM did not leave until just after eight this morning, so we were able to have morning coffee together. I so enjoy that. We drink coffee, I talk like a crazy woman and he tells me what his dreams were. Our dreams are nothing alike. He dreams in great detail. I will dream things like I am looking for a bathroom, and none of them have toilets.
He left and I started in on the laundry. And the dishes. And the picking up of floatsum and jetsum from the weekend.
I spent some time looking for Westies on line. I think I want another one. At first I thought I wouldn't, but I think I need a peppy energetic dog just to off-set my complete dullness.
Next I read websites with ideas on how to unstop a stopped up baby. There are many ways, and Baby Boy is resisting them all. But, at least he tries. He tries so hard he turns maroon.
Baby Boy came. I played with him for nine hours. We read books. While he slept, I rearranged plates and stuff on shelves. I doubt that anyone but me would notice this.
Baby Boy and I watched the news. He really likes the anchor women. Stops drinking his bottle to pay close attention to what they are saying. All the news around here is about some big new river front development that is supposed to be great for Grand Rapids. All I can think about is how it is going to permanently destroy my backroads way into downtown causing me to have to get on dreaded highways to get from here to there.
The mail came, and in it were two new magazines and a catalog! Of course, by then Baby Boy was done napping and wanted my undivided attention. So I put a board book over my magazine for him to look at while I read. I don't see this working for too long, but for now he is fine with it. Although he might be confused about which is a bunny and which is a kitty, as it wasn't the picture I thought it was. Oh well.
At 7:00 I watched a very interesting report about an F5 tornado that blew though this area 50 years ago. Of course, I didn't exist then, but I have met many people in my life who were profoundly affected by it. The occasional tornado is really the worst weather we get around here, except for ice storms. This program put Baby Boy and Daughter to sleep. They lingered today because Son-in-law was working late tonight.
I watched Antiques Road Show. I own nothing of great monetary value. There should be a show called Antique People Show, as I know many old people of great value. Really. We could bring in a great person that we know, and have him looked over and appraised! Yes! Wouldn't that be a great idea?
That makes me think...too many old people are trying to have themselves 'restored'. Keep the original paint, and a chip or dent here or there only adds to the charm and establishes authenticity.
I had BIG plans to decoupage some pins tonight. I bought some round wooden discs which I want to decoupage with old textbook illustrations of the Dick, Jane and Sally variety. But, my excitement quickly changed to fatigue, and here I sit. I still might give it a try.
Or, I might just catch up on some reading.
What was YOUR Monday like?

I have had some dreams like yours...don't you just hate that though?? Frustrating!
Nothing exciting going on here...just need to get things gone through and ready for another move. Sunday afternoon we drove around an hour from here looking over the territory and pondering if this is where we need to locate for daughter to finish up her last couple years of college.
Um, Monday. I got up early (I hate that). But my twins went to homeschool P.E., so the three kids here seemed easy. I worked on laundry all day . . . so much laundry! My 8-year old went to his first baseball practice of the year and my husband went to a meeting. (A family friend too our son to the practice.) Last kid left at 5:30 p.m. I put my daughter to bed at 8 p.m, exercised and watched "24."
I am so dull.
On Monday I attended the funeral of Corporal Yates in Grand Ledge, and participated with the Patriot Guard to protect & shield the family from the WBC...if no one knows what that is, check here:

The people from the WBC are evil, filthy & loathing. I cannot understand how someone could picket at a funeral & say the evil things they did.
Even after having been there, I still don't understand that kind of evil.....the family was so grateful for our presence. Made me feel like I did something worthwhile.
Elizabeth - I hope this is a GOOD move? I do not like to move, but our last move was a GREAT one.
Mel - You, of all people, are not dull.
Annon - I saw that report. I could not believe it. I said outloud to absolutely no one "You Have GOT To Be Kidding Me!"
