9:30 and I am whupped -- thing I MIGHT have energy for one puzzle and then it will be off to bed.

Cathy DD slept through the night very soon -- I remember being surprised.  I was breast feeding and so I still made myself get up and expressed milk to put in the freezer for times when I had a baby sitter.  So she slept through but I didn't.  Oh well.  It is gettng so close for you -- I remember the day DD was born.  DH had left for work and I went back to bed for more sleep -- I woke up shortly thereafter and cursed myself 'cos I had peed the bed.  Then realization hit -- that I didn't pee the bed at my age and that my water had broke.  LOL  My delivery was very quick.  I hope the same for you.

Hi Niagara.  Glad to hear the good news for your DH.  Sorry that your hours are being cut back.  While in the liquor store yesterday -- to pick up my Food and Drink -- I noticed a 200 mL bottle of Baileys for $9 plus.  While on the ship at the duty free -- we bought two bottles of Baileys -- each 1.14 L -- the first was $15 and the second $10 (so 200 mL here for the same as 1.14 L at a duty free) Why or why can't we have better pricing everyday??  rhetorical question gals -- I know the answer!!  (well not exactly the same as the duty free was American $$)

Gonna find me a puzzle

good night all and sweet dreams

Aleida

PS Char -- I think I need a tuck-in tonight

Wow Aleida, I thought I came in time for the tuck in, but your all tuckered out!  Oh well, whispering softly, singing  "go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little baby, may sweet dreams, fill your head, as you snuggle down in bed."

Still planing to go camping.  Saw the forcast for sat.  Chance of rain/snow.

I got up a wee bit later than usual but still managed to keep up to the day. We had threats of rain several times today but everything went over - and we just got spit on. I was watching my usual TV shows that I really listen too rather than sit to watch, but alas they are all about death tonight- so I will have to go to the food channel which always makes me hungry.

I put some of my house plants out in my front porch today as they need some fresh air and I need to see the space for awhile- they will keep there until around September and it saves buying hanging planters. I do this most years and they always come back bigger so before I put them out I gave them a good trim.

I did not do anything else too earth shattering today- did help my grand-daughter who is 19 and living with me* clean some of her squalor--LOL-.

 I do not pay too much attention to her room as she is responsible for it.  She wanted to re-arrange some of the furniture so we did that and I left her to finish- I heard the crash and held my breath as Meme has learned to not go running as when you are 19 you have to figure it out on your own.( that is a long disjointed sentence but I said it all in one breath) and oh yes, the crash was her t.v. which fell when she tried to move the stand and the t.v. together. The t.v. still works and has only one crack in the top --and she missed her bare feet and she watched her language and Meme did not laugh out loud -( until later when I was out of sight).

Now Meme must go to bed and read and rest and sleep. Have a wonder Friday and I will be back.
