Eventually CPB (Cinnamon Pretzel Bite) had so many cookies in her cheeks she couldn’t hold anymore.  But there was still a bit of cookie left.  So she grabbed it and hurriedly buried it under her bedding.
Then she stood up to beg some more.  All in all she got about an hours worth of attention just for asking.  It made me think.  I get whiny and tell my family they don’t pay attention to me.
hmmmm   Maybe I need to ask?
Till next time!
Oh BTW  If ya want something just ask!

Since i don’t get to play with little kids very often, (see explaination blog) I have a lot of time on my hands.  I spend this extra time doing surveys and looking for free samples and offers.  I found a coffee offer.  It was for a sample of 6 flavors, and it was free. “Ding Ding Ding” I thought of Chrissy!  While seasrching the website for a way to have samples sent to Chrissy, I saw an intervention letter.  It was hilarious.  Your basic intervention speech, but all about coffee.  Being me I had to send it to my daughter in law.

Only I didn’t have her email address. (hmmm don’t have a lot of my kids emails…winder why?)  So I called her at work to get it. I didn’t tell her why just asked wrote it down and hung up.

Chrissy had a BBBAAADDD!!!! day.  She came over, argued with her hubby, (not serious just two young people tired from work) fell asleep on the couch, AND had to wake up to go home.  Not in a good mood.

I get a phone call  “COFFEE INTERVENTION?!”  Oops I forgot about that… “Ummm hi Chrissy…”  “Mom did you read that letter?”  “well not all of it cuz sometimes the drop down menu would only let me say certain things”  “IT WAS HILARIOUS!  I can’t believe you did this!  I haven’t laughed this hard in ages”

Whew! For a few minutes my life flashed before my eyes!

Anyway… have a friend in a bad mood?  Try aan intervention. (grin)

till next time

A strange man says “Hi we were supposed to call you before we come get the old furnace?” (remember the one I was afraid would blow up during the wedding?)  I say “are we doing that today?”  He says yep we’re on our way now.”

OK so I stay home, all the kids are over on and off all day.. The ferrets get to run but not cleaned.  The dishes get stacked but not washed. (no hot water, it’s gas too.)

I did wash my hair.  and put on clothes. and check my email. and worked on an article for a bridal thing.  After the wedding I guess I have a little experience?

Or maybe I can fake it?  But… now I have hot water and a messy house and frankly, I’m tired, and lazy, and wellll..

Next time I’ll let ya know if the dishes get there.

Oh the workmen are comming back Thursday or Friday with the new furnace.  Did I mention my furnace is in the cellar?  Down a set of steep ladder style stairs?  With a dirt floor?

Maybe I’ll wait till the weekend to clean house..

till next time!

Years ago I ran inhome daycare.  It was called supermom daycare.  Wow I know real unique.  Then I was married to a man with grandkids.  (guess i oughta mention I had “have” a bit of a mouth)  My step daughters kids ages 2 and 4, repeated some of my words.

She told them we don’t say the things “granny annie potty mouth” says.  It kinda stuck.

So now that my daughter is married to a guy with a kid and has one on the way….

We have a swear jar in my house.

And occasionally my daughter tells her step son, “thats ok it’s just granny annie potty mouth”. While she’s glaring at me over his head.

But hey! the kid thinks I’m great.

Funny thing today. Ya ever get the feeling your playing along with freinds and having a great time, till it all blows up in your face?  My baby ferrett was chasing the older grumpy cat.  The cat would swat at the ferret and move so the ferret would chase her and try to grab her tail.

The cat went behind the entertainment center.  The ferret followed, only to get WHAPPED on the head hard enough to bounce her chin off the floor.  The ferret came running out, got picked up and petted.  Then when we put her back on the floor she would run past the entertainment center, and squeak.

After the ferret was put in her cage the cat came out. The cat sauntered past the cage and hissed at the poor ferret.

I guess only one of them was actually playing.

More thoughts next time!

when I figure out how to put pix in here you’ll see them!

Gonna go put up my feet,

I got the dress pinned, the food bought, and the groom mowed the front yard.  Hurray!

Oh and one of my grown kids may have swine flu.  At first the hospital thought it was an appendicitis, then they decided to test him for flu.

Oh joy! And…. a political organization I belong to is having a crisis. So we have an emergency meeting tomorrow night (2 days before the wedding!) and I got to make phone calls all evening.

But…. I waxed the back porch floor, and cleaned the bathroom walls.  It’s getting there!

Cross your fingers…. no more crises?

till tomorrow!

Today I jump online, ready for all those excited comments, about my new venture!.

Instead, I get some very unhappy confused emails.  Basic text was…………………………………………………………………………….

“WHERE IS YOUR BLOG???”

Yep I copied the link and forgot to past it into my emails.

The kids thought it was hilarious, and I was told that my son could count (on one hand) all the people he knew who would do that.  1.  me.

But…. the sun is shining and I’m going to get some more wedding stuff taken care of!   Yee Haw!

till later!

Then I got into it a little bit.  Wow!  I gotta learn all this stuff, like how to put in links, and how to add video, and dang ya know I’m like old so this could be a really stressfull thing.

And I really don’t need more stress.  My daughter is getting married, in 5 days.  In my back yard.  and it won’t stop raining long enough to even mow the grass.  We are having like 100 or more people, and the toilet keeps backing up, the sink sprung a leak, and the furnace has a short in it.

And now I gotta learn to blog??  Well it should be an adventure and thats what life is all about.  It’s a long strange journey.  Some of my contemporaries will get that phrase! (grin)

well I gotta go send email to everybody I know so they’ll read my blog.  Wow mom, granny, anna has a blog.

Geeze I feel so cool!

more tomorrow!
