11 days inbetween

I just enjoyed a nice hot dish of chicken & rice w/ veggies in only 90 seconds. 90 seconds for simulated home cooking. Try it, you'll like it.

We made an offer on a house. It'll be a nice house, one day. There's no sense in jumping into how I would like to do this or that until we know something for sure. Who said I had sense? The first thing I would do is insulate the attic. Then I'd do any other kind of weatherization I could get done now, done NOW! So on and so forth. Yes, we don't hear anything official until today but, we still have thought a lot of things already. Perhaps it is all just for a let down. Then again, it may be for something else...

If you'd walk in my front door tomorrow this may be something you encounter:

First, watch out for what we call "piddles". You see our puppy (also known as a shiteater to some) isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. She doesn't know yet that she's suppose to take care of all that outside. Plus, you should see how this puppy grows. I'm sure if her body is growing that much that fast her guts are too. Poor girl, she'll be alright. I see a lot of good dog there...

You may hear this next thing before you see it. Rest assured, you will see it. "It"'s my son. His 2 current favorite sayings are "Thank you" and "Ut-oh". Now sometimes thank you only sounds like the sound of thank you, but ut-oh is ut-oh. If you were to give him a cuppy he would say, thank you. If he were to give you a foam number, he would say thank you. If that cuppy were to run dry, he would say ut-oh. If he would throw his foam number, he would say "ut-oh". I think he's pretty alright with his language. I never realized I would be so taken by hearing a little boy say ut-oh and thank you. He's working on I love you. When he's trying to say it, it sounds like "I doooo". I love you too buddy...

Then there's "sis". I wonder if she knows she's gone from being the little sister, to forever being the big sister. I think she will make a much better big sister than little. You may see her drawing a picture and giving it to her mother and me. The picture may be of what she thinks her baby sister looks like, or maybe a list of what she wishes for her. Very nice. I think she deserves to enjoy every moment of her life...

Then there's the closer to 15 than 14 year old, Drewsive. I feel as if he could be a much better big brother. There are times I feel badly for how he treats his sister. I just don't get it. Connor will not be like that. I'm sure there is really that "brother/sister" thing that I just don't get being a lonely child, but I do think I know when something is right and wrong. I could understand it even a bit more if the age difference wasn't what it is. I hope he can find the thing(s) to make him happy...

Perhaps while you were visiting the bathroom, you would be visited by one or our cats. They seem to believe in the buddy system when it comes to taken care of business. Everyone morning I have at least one of them in there loving on me. There's a difference between cat affection and dog affection. I don't care what you say, there is. I only wish my cat would snuggle at sleep time again. I miss it...

Then I'm sure by now you'll have a great big white hair ball jumping up on you getting kisses. Kida loves that. She's been doing a good job of letting the puppy know what lines not to cross. No major fights and we're gonna keep it that way or I'll get in there and break that shit up. Ever since she stayed with my folks for a couple months she's become quite the begger. I can't complain too much, she's a good girl...

Last but not least, you'll see my very pregnant "sissypants". We are in the home stretch now. Julie says March 18, doctors say April 1. I say soon, no matter what day we will be joined by our baby girl. Oh my, I didn't share the name. Gabrielle Christine. Nice isn't it? Gabrielle, a name my sissypants loves. I have to admit, it isn't bad. Christine, my mothers name. What more meaning can a namely possibly have? You may see my sissypants sitting rubbing her belly, or you may see her ignoring my orders that she stops working and takes it easy. It's alright, I know she'll take a break when she needs one. She's a good mommy. I miss her very much right now...

Would you like crackers with your soup?

Later.

I love you Julie.
