WITHDRAWLS

This evening while Mimi was over at Blake's having dinner and dad was not home yet, mom sat down to leftover pizza and bbq wings watching the Disney Channel. Not sure of the girl's name but she was showing how to do Disneyland and California Adventureland. It showed all of mom's favorite things to do there. Mom was having withdrawls and almost crying into the pizza as if it is not salty enough ;-( We are really going to miss Allyn's bi-yearly get together at D-land for sure. Mimi is home now and Blake is purely estactic that his mom said ok for to sleep over since they will not see each other until we get back from Virginia and the end of next week. Dad is now reading them both a bedtime story and they are having the time of their lives. Things are back to normal.

BIG PROBLEM

Our Mimi bless her little heart is smart as the dickens. Yes I know that I am biased, but it is true. Part of her kindergarten curriculum is that she has to spend at least 10 minutes or more reading to mom or dad. The problem for Mimi is mom knows Mimi way to well. Mom lets Mimi pick out the book she wants to read and mom also knows what words Mimi knows and recognizes. These are words such as : and, in, at, the ... and so forth. Mimi knows that mom knows that Mimi knows these words and she will play dumb and pretend that she does not know the words. This irritates mom to no end. Have I confused you enough by now??? Well let me tell you, last night while reading, Mimi decided to play that game of S-T-U-P-I-D. Therefore mom told Mimi that she will no longer be playing games on her favorite websites. She could only play Superkids or Starfall. That sent her into the world of disbelief. "NOOOOOO" cried Mimi. "Oh yeah" says mom. Sure enough, as soon as mom laid out the conditions to which Mimi will be able to play her favorite games, Mimi read the words correctly without a hitch. This morning Mimi came running into the bedroom at the ungodly hour of 6:30 a.m. telling mom that "THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER!!! COME LOOK MOM!!!" So mom dragged herself out of bed to see what the problem was to which Mimi pointed and said "Where's the Disney, Nick Jr and Noggin websites?????" To which mom replied "They are gone for now" "Oh good Lord" says Mimi. Mom then proceeded back to bed.
