long night

It's 6 am Saturday, and I'm up - not a suprise, I usually work Saturday mornings.  I was supposed to lead a training session for new leaders today, but it was cancelled due to the weather.  I am not complaining.  I love my Weight Watchers meetings - motivating members and hearing their stories.  Unfortunately I find training boring.   This was to be my last training session for new leaders, I've resigned that position.   I'm rambling.

My puppy was spayed yesterday, and she was up most of the night - shifting around and whining.  I wish I could do more to help the poor thing feel better, but nothing seems to help, so I am tired and she is uncomfortable.   

I've downloaded several new books onto my Kindle, but haven't had much of a chance to read yet - maybe tomorrow....

long day

gonna watch Inbetweeners and Psych, read a little and go to bed.  Not too exciting, I know.

It's Tuesday...

I'm anxious to get the kids into bed tonight - I've got a new book to read - an old one I think "The Dragone Bone Chair" by Tad Williams.  Haven't had a good new series in a while.  I was reading "Fall of Thanes" - but just can't get into the last half of the book, especially since I skipped ahead with my Kindle and it looks like the "hero" of the story dies.  nice.

I've been re-reading the Song of Ice and Fire series too, but I doubt A Dance with Dragons will come out anytime soon, so I'll most likely re-read again once I know the next book is for real.  I love reading, and more often that not, will choose to read over the tv.  However, I WILL be watching LOST tonight - got to see that one through to the end.

ok so I'm not so into this yet

uh, funny store time?  Sure, maybe this will help me remember:
Rory gets into the car on Friday with a hunk of ice in her hand. 
Rory  "look mom, this looks just like a manatee"
me  "ok"
Rory continues to praise her manatee as we drive to Krogers, I tell the kids I'm running in to buy money orders, do they want to come with me, or wait in the car.  They choose to wait in the car.  5 minutes later I return.  Rory is crying hysterically, Liam is in the back with his eyes wide open and a "this chick is nuts" look on his face.

Rory:  "Liam made me eat my manatee!"
me:  "What happened"
Rory:  "I said it was dripping a little and maybe melting, and he said 'bite it's head off', so I did!"
me:  "So, did he force it into your mouth and make you chew it up?"
Rory:  "no!  I did it myself, but he made me.  This is my worst day ever, he's ruined my life"

Rory continues to whine, complain, mourn etc. 

me:  "What do you want me to do?"
Rory:  "Punish Liam"
me:  "You want someone punished for ruining your toy?"
Rory:  "It's not a toy, it's a statue!"
me:  "Ok, someone should be punished for destroying your statue?"
Rory:  "yes"
me:  "Rory you're grounded"
Rory:  "why"
me:  "You ate your statue"

more crying ensued till we reached Grandma O'Connor's and she found an "x-ray" (stingray) shaped hunk of ice.
kids...
