Updates and Nonsense

Thou bawdy hell-hated blind-worm!

I consulted my  Shakespearean Insulter tonight, and this is what it called me.  It doesn't sound too good, does it?                          

Well, finally got everyone off to bed!  Eler Beth fretted and whined and finally I thought to check her forehead!  Yep, a little bit of a fever; not high, but I gave her some Motrin and orange juice, and made her go to bed.  A few minutes after she had gone to bed she came back into the living room and asked for a piece of paper.  I gave it to her.  She sat down on the couch and wrote something, folded it in quarters, handed it to me, then went back to bed.

Here's what it said:  On the front -- "Open when I am not in the living room."  Inside it said, "Please come back there later.  Me and Puppy do not feel good and need a hug.  I love you.  Puppy loves you."  Puppy is just a little tiny puppy key chain that has been her companion for a couple of weeks now.  She doesn't go anywhere without him.

So I went in to give her and "puppy" a hug, and so did Thomas.   Everyone seems to be settled down now.  Andrew hadn't been feeling well earlier and slept from about 4:00 until almost 11:00.  I guess he's getting sick, too!  I think he's still awake, but he's in bed.  I just checked to make sure he was warm enough.  I usually turn the furnace way down at night, but I'm keeping it up higher for a little bit longer.

I need to get to bed, but things are finally quiet!  Oh, I picked a "chore" out of my bowl and did it!  It was to clean the ceiling fan and all the light fixtures in the kitchen, which wasn't too difficult.  But it was something that needed to be done.  I hadn't dusted the fan blades in a while and all the light fixtures needed a good washing.  Now it's very bright in there when I turn on the lights.

Well, this bawdy, hell-bated blind-worm had better get to bed!

I'm cracking up at the note from Eler Beth, as Hayley does the same thing. She will be upset, write me a note, and then go in her room and wait for my response. I love it when she does that and I keep them all. I hope the kids feel better soon, and that whatever it is doesn't run through the family. Take care! ;o)

oh, what a cute little one Eler Beth is to write such a sweet note (and she knew you would respond too). Hoping she and Andrew are feeling much better today.
