All is well...

It has been a fun few days with John home. Too many times have we left for a mini-vacation when he's home and this is the second time now, this year, we have stayed home. It has been fun. I bought the girls a BIG blow up pool on Sunday and they got in it Tuesday. I promised them we would set it back up today so they could play some more. John said putting it up and down (I really did the down, he did the up) just made him want a "real" pool so he wouldn't have to keep doing that. lol Oh, well.

The house has remained clean, for the most part, but laundry is really behind. So much for my vow. I'll get it caught up but I'm not going to rush. I'm enjoying John too much to be overly worried about the house or laundry.

I have decided that Rosie is a bit, well, nuts. I keep reminding myself that Maggie was a bit nuts too in the beginning, but somehow I don't think Rosie is going to "outgrow" some things. She bites her own tail; she chews on it for hours! Anyway, fingers still crossed on this one.

Here is a story I didn't post the other day:
One day this week, I was sitting in the living room watching the morning news. I kept hearing a thud at the French door to the deck. Well, we have the curtains that were on the doors in Edgefield there. Yes, both curtains on the door (help the heat/air). There was a gap between the two curtains. I could see the shadow of something when I heard the thud. Now let me stop and tell you this, at night when we turn down the lights to watch TV after the girls go to bed the bugs start knocking on the windows. The bugs in Kershaw are large! They make some of the darndest noises for bugs, so I thought it was some kind of bug hitting the window of the door. I get up and peek out the crack just as a bird dives down with its claws right at my face (glad there was glass there)! The only thing I can figure is somehow he was seeing his reflection in the gap between the curtains and was attacking "the other bird". I would hate to see that coming at me when there is no glass!
