My Foot Warmer

This is Duchess.

Though she also goes by Millie (Keith's name choice for her).

She belongs to Gary, but don't tell Faye.

Duchess/Millie likes to sleep on the foot of my bed.

Right. where. my. legs. go.

But when it is cold at night, I don't really mind.  In fact when it is so very cold, I delight in my personal foot warmer.

The joys of having a lazy cat.

Duchess was the name of my dog growing up :)

My girls just asked for a cat. Two of us are allergic so the answer would be...no. But a foot warmer would almost be worth the itchy eyes.

No pets here. I'm too allergic. All I've ever had is outside cats.

=)

PS. I do like the idea of a foot warmer!

So true. I don't have a cat, but little Olive has been serving as a good body-warmer these cold days of the year. Even so, I'm ready for Spring.

I was just thinking the same thing today when my youngest fell asleep on my bed.
More accurately, right on my feet.
I wasn't wearing socks, so I sure appreciated the warmth...

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

The End of This Chapter

Last night the quiet of the house was heaven. After a full day of the park, the library and the kids at their grandparents house while Jeffrey and I went up to take care of our rental house, lease signing, moving out inspection and repairs, we were all very tired. The children were finally nestled into their dreams, and I sat with Jeffrey, my head resting on his shoulder, his hand caressing my arm, just visiting. We talked about the children.   We talked about school. We talked about our rental house. And our plans for the future. As we sat thus, formulating plans and dreams, we had a rude awakening. More so me. Because Jeffrey is so calm and even keeled.  He balances me perfectly. While I stress and worry, he is there to patiently and softly guide me through the storms of my frustrations and mostly imagined hardships. Last night was a perfect example. We received the news. The dreaded and anticipated and longed for news. And it came in the form of an email from a
