Birthday Beanie!

Yesterday was a horrible day. I had an attitude that vacuumed the whole day but didn't realize it was so bad 'til that evening. I hate crappy attitudes. So why is it that I allow myself to be subject to them? War with the flesh. Come now Lady do what is right.I'm trying Or so I think. If I would just take my eyes off myself....

Yesterday we had two extras. Kelley had been with us all day and another little girl came for the afternoon. Can you say chaotic? Beanie's birthday dinner was last night so Grandpa came to town. That means that the dog came. Kelly is terrified of animals as evident by the look of fright that shrouded her little face. So the key was to keep Kelly and the dog away from each other. Ya have to know that the dog is a shi tzue. It wouldn't hurt anyone and isn't interested in Kelley at all. Well the dog got out of it's encampment and came into the room where Kelley was. She started to freak out and I became frankensitter. "Kelly! I know you are afraid of that dog but you need to stop the right now. That dog is not going to hurt you. It wants nothing to do with you. You need to settle down. Do you understand me?" Insert sending a child to take care of the dog. " Kelly it is Ok. I will get rid of the dog. You don't have to like it you just can't pitch a fit and come apart. It's all right baby." Kelly was not afraid of that dog at the end of the day. She even called it so she could pet it. She was a little timid and I was willing that we should keep her entirely separated from that dog but she was not going to come apart.

I found out that my gun is really wood and it was only in two pieces and not three and it is a Remington. And it is way pretty cause I looked at it again this morning. Dad took it to grandpa's to put it together. Dad wasn't sure how.

I went to Britter's for our annual Christmas get together. I know, I know it is the new year but we couldn't get together before Christmas so we had to make due with after. I got a cute skirt, Jane Austen's novels in one volume and some other stuff. Bother girls loved the presents I got for them. Brit got a candle and LLB got three decks of cards (she collects them). I lost track of time and got home late. For some reason that only happens at their house. I hate being irresponsible. It means I get in trouble. Thank goodness my mom is gracious and merciful and wondermous and it wasn't much trouble. Thanks mommy. You don't know how much I appreciate it. While I was there I finished knitting the shrug that I started yesterday afternoon. I have to sew the sleeves and then it will be done. I am anxious to wear it. I am not sure what I will wear it with first. I do know that I have to wait till spring.

Going back to Beanie's birthday. She loved opening her presents (she liked the presents too). I wish ya'll coulda seen her face. My camera was dead so I didn't get any pictures. Mommy made her a cake. It was chocolate with cocolate and pink icing. Yummers. And, as she doesn't have a favorite dinner yet,we made spehgetti. Good night that baby is cute, wrotten too but, mostly cute.

I must go for my time is up. The clock is about to strike 8:40 and if I am not off of the computer I will be bannished from it's prsence! Night Ya'll!
