AAHHhh...Quiet

Aaahhhh...can you hear that?  That.  Can you hear it???  FINALLY, I can hear myself think!! The girls have been in Fort Dodge since Tuesday night and I can finally hear myself think--after 8 o'clock that is.  Taffy does a good job of making up for the lost noise that the others create.  She's pretty loud and since she's not feeling well, she's pretty whiney(sp?) and clingy.  I also think she misses the girls.  There's no one here to pick on her so she kicks the dog instead.  Poor Willie--he's always on someone's list!!

So, Taffy and I had a date the other day.  We went to the mall.  I had a coupon for a free catalog from Penneys and we just wanted out of the house--dare I say it--It was TOO QUIET!!  So I took her to the play area and there she proceeded to give a little boy the business.  He was following her up the bridge and she didn't like it so she got out her little finger and ruffled her brow and said something that we couldn't understand but it meant she wasn't happy.  She also did that on the big climbing rock to a 4 year old who was in her way to go down the slide.  For a little squirt, she's got a BIG attitude!!  She gets that from her dad, you know.  

I told Chloe when she left that I wouldn't have to watch Cartoon Network the whole time she was gone.  I fully expected to get to watch what I wanted-- Yeah, RIGHT!!  Cartoon Network has been replaced by Barney about 7 hours a day.  (Actually, I'd rather watch Barney then Cartoon Network!!)  It's been nice to have the peace and quiet but I think I'm ready to have them back and the chaos that goes along with it.  They come home sometime tomorrow and we'll be waiting with open arms!!  Enough for now...-AS

PS. You can see in the 3rd picture she just got done giving that poor little girl the business for following her.  She was grouchy that day!! Poor thing just wanted to play!!
