cold - felt pens - stupid ugly bed!!!

It's cold. Freaking winter sucks.

Today we ventured to trolldom for felt pens, colored pencils, and drawing paper... it was a successful  trip. 
Brie's now has felt pen lines down one side of her face... guess that means she enjoyed drawing??

It became apparent at midnight last night that Brie wasn't happy in her new bed. Her sister was unimpressed as well... and woke me up. I lay down with Brie, who went back to sleep for over an hour, then woke up growling and said... "I hate the stupid ugly bed and don't want to sleep here. I want to go to your bed!!"
I sighed... and off we went back to my bed. Daddy was fast asleep... Missy the cat was fast asleep - not for long. I had to move her, she was in my half - all over it actually. She then prowled the bedroom for a while... eventually trapping Chris's feet... he wasn't impressed, even in his sleep. The cat went thud.
I eventually got back up and put her out in the hallway. Poor cat was not impressed. She's forgotten that until five days ago was not allowed in our room at night!! 

To make up for the cat's rude eviction last night I let her stay in my bed while we went out today. - well it was either lock in her in my room or Caoilies and she was already asleep in mine. (she sets off the alarm with her crazy antics if not confined... and that isn't cheap!)

Tonight I should do something constructive... I want to change Robin's name to Rowan ... and probably should. My shoulder aches, it's too cold. I think I'll do a quick find and replace then go lay on the sofa under a warm blanket. Maybe take some painkillers and have a nice cup of tea as well.

Tomorrow is grocery day - dear god no!!!!
It's a pain in the proverbial, it really is. Perhaps I should attempt a list?? What a crazy notion... not that crazy, cos I always make one - I just either forget to take it, or forget to look at it. My reasoning is, that I've committed to memory the contents during the writing phase. Clever huh? If it worked for every item, it'd be fucn awesome.

Okay off to make a cuppa.

Ohhhh just let me say this - Tish Cohen's Inside out girl was released today. This is one truly awesome read, and everyone should rush right out and buy it. (Fishpond are carrying it if you live down here) I loved it, LOVED it... couldn't put it down (the kids got a crappy dinner and I was almost late to pick up the squealer from school the day Inside out girl arrived at our house) and finished it in one day. (, and not just because I could identify with Len and having a special child, or because Olivia captivated me or Janie fascinated me, or I couldn't wait to see how Rachel would cope.. . )
