Conclusion of several stories
September 08, 2008 By: almostgotit Category: Uncategorized, conclusions, dog, friends, friendship, humor, mattress, motherhood, neighbors, parenting, parenting a college student, photographyIt was a good weekend chez Almostgotit.
The neighbors have all received my newsletter, and there have been no death threats. A few probably have concluded I’m dangerous and should be left alone (hurray) while a few others have called me on the phone to say “bravo.”
One even brought me some flowers.
Almostgotit made great strides in sorting out some things in the attic, getting rid of several piles, and finally opening the stupid box for her stupid new computer and even putting the stupid thing all together (NB friend Betsy!!)
The rest of the family, feeling a little less ambitious, nonetheless also seemed to have a pleasantly relaxing couple of days.
The New College Student, too busy lately even to trim his own toenails apparently, came home and spent virtually all of his time like this.
The 12-yr-old , whose official weekend chore is to clean the bathroom, found interesting things to do with the bathroom mirror instead .
Cat #1 helped make the beds in her own way.
The dog (a purebred Rhodesian FridgeSnack, FYI) carried his blanket around all weekend, finding many comfortable places to sleep as well.
And I did tell all y’all, did I not, that the adults have a lovely new mattress for weekend sleeping, as well?
Life, in other words, is pretty good.

Thanks Breanne! Want a dog? (JUST kidding)
@Cassandra: This is our cat with formal theatrical training, of course.
@ Jan: Wish I could. ‘Fraid I’ll have to sneak in and get it next time the kid passes out here for several days again.

Forgot to tell you I picked up the book you recommended…The Persian Pickle Club and it is at the top of my NTR (need to read) pile. Thanks, I love good books.

Oh good, Jan! I think you’ll like it. And I was slightly wrong: Opal had chickens in her PARLOR, which is even better.

I love that first picture of The Dog. Holding his blanky. So sweet.

I agree, pages. It helps me forgive him for bringing so many FLEAS into our house that even nuclear bombs have not helped. (YOU want a dog?) Hello to RufusKitty from me…
