Who’s the happy birthday girl?! H is!

For months this has been the perpetual state of my dining room table, I mean ALL THE TIME. Kessa is living larger than life in here and it always looks like a drunken librarian threw up all over my table and then exploded, leaving book guts all over the place, including the floor against the wall.

Oh stop. You know it could happen.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Keelan slept on the couch last night as she had a guest over to spend the night and this particular little girl is a tad vicious in her sleep, hitting, kicking, verbal insults, whatever. No, she is a sweet girl, just a hairy sleeper. Keelan was still asleep when her sister appeared. Kes had been upstairs watching a movie with Gilbert, her boyfriend, and she just came running downstairs and leaned over Keelan and said in a loud, penetrating voice, “SISTER! GILBERT WAS GOING TO COME DOWN HERE AND WAKE YOU UP, BUT I TOLD HIM ‘NO!’”. Keelan just kind of moaned and pulled the pillow over her head.

Kes then raced back upstairs to continue her movie, which had been paused for her informative message.

Kes has been nominated for the Semper Donates Award! I am so proud of her! Yeah, I know. I didn’t either, but the paper she brought home explains… She is being recognized for being a senior who has demonstrated service and commitment to their school and community that makes them exemplars of excellence. It goes on to say that it is one of the highest awards bestowed upon a student at Dickinson High. Semper Donates is a Latin term that means “always giving”. But, like myself, I am sure you speak fluent Latin and knew that. Just in case- it is pronounced, doe-not-a’s, not donate. Cause, hey, anyone can forget a little of the favorite language they love to jabber all day long.

John is out at the grocery store. He went there after dropping off Keelan, because Kessa told him she would cook lasagna tonight if he would go and get the stuff.

But:

She won’t be off work until about 5:00. So when she gets home I will be leaving with my husband and going out of the house for the first time in… a few days. I don’t really keep track anymore. I mean, why bother, right?

John is off work today and it is 3:20pm as I type this. H has just now made it into the living room. Now we can finally go somewhere, as Keelan is home to stay with her. Oh wait, yes, H has been fed. Yes, she has seen the visiting nurse. Yes, she finally got around to doing the daily poop on the bedpan. This is what we were all waiting for so we could go. Now Keelan has to be at work in 26 minutes.

Crap.

Well, Kes is supposed to be home from work sometime soon….

Well, Kes had an announcement last night. After careful consideration on her part, she has decided that the $50.00 coupon is going to go to another new purse. She is presently all a dither pondering her proposed purchase. Wait a min. I wanna try to say that 5 times fast…. OK, I did. But only just barely.

Anyway, there will be another new Coach purse living here in this house and I am thinking we should probably get some more homeowners insurance…

My darling daughter, Kessa has a not-so-secret fetish for Coach purses. While it does seem like she could have picked something more moderately priced for an 18 year old, I can appreciate how cute they are. Just not to the amounts she is willing to pay. Anyway, she is extremely good with her money and saves diligently for whatever she is wanting.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Here is her latest acquisition.

Today, when I went to get the mail, I pulled out a pink envelope addressed to her from Coach. I don’t normally open her, (or anybody else’s), mail, but, I had a sneaking suspicion of what it was. We called her immediately and told her. $50.00 off a purchase of $150.00 or more. I think I heard her little heart stop beating. I told her that she could probably just take it into the store with the receipt and they would refund her the money, it was just last week that she got the purse. If not she can return the purse and re-purchase it with the discount. She is on pins and needles until she finds out if she will get the $50.00 back, now.

I think it’s kinda funny.

It’s scary and somewhat depressing, how irrelevant reference books have become.

Yesterday John and I ran to Walgreens to pick up a package of diapers for Henrietta, as we only had two left. While we were there, we got a treat for the dogs. They have the best deal on these big cry-o-vac bones. They are real bones that have a little bit of meat left on them. I guess they are legs from, pigs (?). They’re not big enough to be calves, but still very big and especially for two little dogs. Oh, and the best part is they are only $2.00. Baby and Kissy love them. We usually take the bone out to the garage when we get it and saw it in half for each of them. For some reason I have not come up with yet, I decided to see what would happen if I gave it to them whole. I don’t think Kissy can even pick it up and carry it, but, Baby managed. She absolutely WILL NOT share. As a matter of fact she took it over and is watching it, jealously, at all times. She left it alone long enough to go and visit with Tina, Henrietta’s aide, when she came to give H a bed bath. But she was keeping a close eye on Kissy. As soon as Kissy started sliding over towards it, Baby ran over and cut her off and growled at her. SHE IS SUCH A PIG.

John just called and told me he forgot to get the diapers out of the car before he left and they are now in the back of Kes’s car at Sonic. He stopped there to get a soda and visit with her while she works, before he went on to work. So, I guess what I’m saying is we all have to pull together and pray that Henrietta does not start pooping her diapers today. At least not until Kessa gets home.

That is my goal.
