ALARM
Now I can understand getting up early to go to work. I did that for many years. But why on earth would I want to wake up early when I don't have too??? Hmmmm?????
I am working harder now than I ever did but if I don't have to get up till 8, doggone it I want to get up at 8. Not 7, not 6 but 8. Yesterday she had the alarm set for 7, this morning it was set for 6. Tonight I made sure that the girl had it set for 8 tomorrow morning. "But mom, It rings really, really loud!" the girl cried. "Then WHY do you have to set your alarm so early in the morning?" I asked. "So I can bug you" she answered. Does it matter if the alarm is set at 6 or 8? It is going to ring loud no matter what time it is set at. ARGH!!!!! Dad justs laughs and laughs about it. He says I look cute when Mimi drives me nuts. Thus I have a standing appointment with the beautician every month to get my hair done so that nobody can see how many gray hairs I now have.
BUTCH AND RENO
Reno is one of Butch's buddies. They always have a grand time together. Yesterday we had a huge down pour of rain, today sunny and clear blue skies. Go figure. Still freezing cold though. After school Mimi still had energy to burn. I know that is the understatement of the year but none the less she was raring to go to the neighborhood park on her scooter. So we bundled up and headed to the park only to find Reno there. So Mimi and Erin plus her brothers Liam and Patrick played together and then Butch had his pal Reno to play with. Come the end of the month we will all head down to Hillsboro (near Portland), Oregon for another competition. While we are there, Butch gets to stay with Reno. Ziggy and Marley's house is a bit crowded with their new lil' sis Lizzy who is another pure white Golden Retriever. Unfortunately Mimi won't get to see her camping buddy Benjamen this time as he will be in a school play that weekend. Bummer.
