I used the ALARM CLOCK today!

Wow, it is 6:30 in the morning and I am up and AWAKE! Why?? Because my friends' son is having his tonsils removed today and I am babysitting her other two kids. When she asked if I could do this for her she told me his surgery was scheduled at 9:00 so I thought sure, no problem. But when she called to double check yesterday she was like, "well, he needs to be there at 7:00 for pre-op." Hum, that might have been something you could have told me and they could have come the night before. So here I am, up and awake, waiting. But I had to set my alarm clock to get up with otherwise, when she rang my doorbell I might have ignored it. (Although Goose would not have!)

Nothing new today yet. Surprise. We do have a family of deer living in our backyard and I saw the baby fawn yesterday. And we also have a family of chipmunks too and they are so cute scampering around the yard. But they do drive my dog Goose nuts!! AND we have owls. Yup, every evening and morning we hear them, hoo-hooing away. (Is that what you call it?) Yesterday Baby A actually asked what the sound was and then she was totally psyched that she had heard an owl. Too bad she has been hearing that sound for like, hum 3 1/2 years but just asked about it yesterday. Go Figure. So that is the report from the GA animal preserve. (Our property borders a 3 acre county easement and I am so sad that animals have to squeeze in there to live :( but I quess it is better than having no where to live!)

What else can I talk about this early in the morning?? I do feel motivated today. Too bad I will be stuck here in the house all day. I think I might clean up the guest room since I have dumped everything in there from our trip. Laundry folding might also be an idea since I washed it all but left in in the baskets. (It is organized by color right and it looks pretty.) I cleaned the kitchen and downstairs yesterday because I knew that I would be expecting company today. Keeping up the appearances you know.

And I did watch SO you think you can dance last night, and it was really good. Baby B was still up and watched the first group dance. She sat there wide-eyed and said "Wow they are good!" It was too cute! Maybe I should put her in dance lessons!!

Okay, the kids are all up now - gotta go and be a responsible adult. Yikes. K OUT
