~Its Saturday All Day~

Did you know today is Saturday? For most of the day I
thought it was Sunday.. I spent a while looking thru photos and
thinking about what I was going to write about when I looked
at the date in my email..it said SATURDAY!!.. its Dawns fault
she came over yesterday..Friday ..that threw me off cuz she
works Fridays.. I hate when I do this.. then I stay confused for
a long time.. Do NOT comment on that one... I know .. I know..
Blondes ARE born confused :-) no no.. its something you have
to acquire and get really good at.. Im doing a good job. I do
hate when I do that though.. what I get for not looking as soon
as I open my computer back up.. but I don't.. im more interested
in guarding my coffee so the kid doesn't knock it over again..

I don't know what is wrong with the boy but hes acting so weird.
Not his usual 'leave me alone' attitude.. he wanted me to hold him
so bad today he pulled open the neck of my top and crawled
down inside and stayed there for a long time sound asleep..It was
really cute but hes heavy..and his steady weight on my stump put
it to sleep so I had to make him move..he went off pouting and
hasnt come back yet.. I don't know what his problem is..but LB is
doing the same thing..wanting held.. and they NEVER wanted to
hardly even be petted let alone held.. I found another old photo of
the kid when he was little I may put it here tomorrow.. Since I did
find it today thinking it was Sunday.. Holidays do that to me tho..
Most of the businesses where Donnie and Dawn both work they
had Friday off..some places make you come back on friday..Now
at Christmas many places close down the 2 weeks between
that and new years.. mandatory vacation..

I really didn't do too much of anything today other than just sit at this
computer and sent some funny emails....I watched a food fight today
outside my window.. a squirrel and the birds..the little sparrows..
they were eating up a storm out there and every few minutes the
squirrel would run over by the birds and run them off.. the birds would
fly up into the bush right there and then fly back down.. They did this
for quite a while.. then I saw this bigger bird.. I think was a female
cardinal.. and they did NOT let her on the ground at all.. the birds
just swarmed at that cardinal and she flew off and I havent seen her
back.. I hope I can get something to put out there for this winter so
that they can have food and it not get all snow covered..

I tried that turkey that Dawn brought yesterday.. They had dinner at
Kelli's but Donnie has a huge deep fryer just for doing turkeys.. I had
heard of deep frying them.. 55 minutes.. and it is SO GOOD!!! I was
amazed at how moist the meat was inside,, yet the outside was so
nice and crispy.. was excellent.. Donald is a pretty good cooker.. He
enjoys bbqing.. I know we used our gas grill all winter long to cook on..
Just cuz it snows doesn't mean you cant use your grill .. We did all the
time...food tastes so good on one..

I almost took a header out of my chair today.. I tried to reach under
the table to get the jug of cat food to fill the boys dish.. I forgot to lock
down.. as I held on to the table..and leaned all the way over, as I was
stretching to reach that jug I felt my chair move back kinda fast..as I
grabbed the edge of the table tighter my hand slipped off and luckily
I was still close enough to the table to grab it again..and stop me from
doing a header right on to the floor.. It can happen so fast.. I didn't
think this chair would move if I held on tight enough but I didn't account
for the momentum and the slant of this floor..and that made this move.
I did NOT fall out - gladly.. I would be MOST upset if that happened I
have NO idea how I would get back in this chair.. I had to use that big
popcorn can last time.well I gave that away.. I need one of those steps
for animals to get up on beds etc..that would work.. but he stairs need
to be wider .. just a tad. :-) well I don't think this patootie of mine would
fit on a narrow step.. But I really don't know how I would .. I know im
not strong enough to pull my self up into it.. I tried that last time.. Ive
talked to a friend about just this.. how to make something that would
work just in case this happened.. I suggested cubes..that stack..then
pull them out and use them as stairs.. then not in use use as a table
or a bench..with a pillow on it. but I should have something.. I sure
am NOT calling 911 again for that.. I felt so stupid.. when I had to call
and tell them "help ive fallen and I cant get up" I was really sick then
though. and there was NO way I could do it.. Those 2 guys just picked
me right up and sat me in my chair.. they checked me over and I was
fine.. embarrassed mostly I looked awful.. they said they wish all their
calls were that easy and I bet they do..

Well I hear my kitchen calling and I hear my bed AND I hear my butt
screaming at me , "GET OFF ME" and GORGEOUS WEEBLES
need food, sleep and all the beauty sleep they can get.. ive been
doing pretty good in that department.. Im GORGEOUS :-) "nitey nite"

Y'all have a Good one now, Y'hear? love ya..and thanks :-)
Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again.....
