Ha..bet you thought I wasn't gonna use that...well...you're actually right! I am not going to do my final installment of Disney tonight as there is too much else going on!!!!
I will start with this; last night we had Lexi's b-day slumber party for her and four friends....it was a smashing success, fortunately though nothing actually was smashed but a good time was had by all. They were incredibly well behaved and since Ed spent most of the week cleaning and prepping the basement, they were able to be down there for the majority of the evening's activities and we heard no thundering over our heads-YAY! They made a movie, watched a movie and did other silly things before we finally insisted that they get ready for bed. And by 12:15 they were all asleep.....except for one child....ours. She finally feel asleep around 12:45 and then we hit the hay ourselves. I did not get to sleep until between 2 and 3 however because my mind was racing. Mostly regarding several upcoming battles that I am going to have to wage and I really don't want to, but probably a bit because we watched The Hurt Locker while they were downstairs. AWESOME movie...but VERY intense...definitely made my dreams interesting!
It was then a very short night due to the fact that our cat is still peeved at us for going on Spring Break. she spent the first few nights we were home coming into our room and alternating between mournfully wailing at us and screaming in anger. It then switched to that happening at 6:30-7am every morning and today was no exception. Unfortunately she choose to do it in the living room and wake up all the girls.....we got up and tried to coax and then keep her downstairs and let them go back to sleep for a bit and while that worked for them...I didn't get so much sleep that way! Anyway, eventually they got up and Ed went and got Dunkin Donuts(they're back in town and we're super-psyched) and then they vegged in front of the TV and then went outside for a bit before everyone got picked up. All in all I consider it a success:)
The the rest of the day we basically lounged around the house and watched Chip and Dale cartoons(Bella's new obsession) and then New Moon as a family since Ed had not seen it and I had finally gotten the other night. It was just as good as the first two times I saw it...well except for the side chatter commentary by the girls! Then dinner and getting ready for bed. That is until at about 8:30 when we discovered what we thought was a big puddle left by the cat in the middle of the kitchen! Now, she is old, almost 15, but we were really hoping that she could hang on at least through Easter so there wouldn't be any bad associations with the holidays or Lexi's birthday like there is with Valentines day which is when our other cat died! And then we went downstairs and it looked as if she had drunk the Nile and had chosen the wall to release that on. Needless to say, we were not happy and frankly scared that this was the end and what was that going to do to the girls!?!?! It wasn't until the liquid continued to come out from under the paneling that we decided something else must be going on and we went back upstairs to discover that it was actually our fridge's water line that was leaking...all over and under the tiles in the kitchen and down into the basement....so while I was glad the cat was ok, not so happy that we had to peel up kitchen tiles tonight!
So now we have cleaned up as best we can and I am about to fall over while typing from exhaustion, I am glad tomorrow is another day, and a great big beautfiul one at that for 11 years ago, on a Palm Sunday, I was blessed with an amazing gift and I am thankful every day that she is here.
Blog ya later-
