Dribbles and Drabs

• In honour of the movie "P.S. I Love You" I will use green text for this post. I think I might be addicted to that movie. Barry rented it for me when I was sick. I loved it. I think maybe too much. I didn't want to take it back. I cried, and cried, pretty much the whole way through, but I still found the whole movie pretty much charming.
• Matt has been waking up at weird hours. One night he'll wake up at 3:00 and have a hard time getting back to sleep (which means we're all up). The next night, he'll wake up at 6:00. Then he'll sleep until 8:00...he goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 every night!! No idea what the deal is there. It needs to end, though.
• Dixie has no idea that she is actually a dog. She's such a suck, and I let her be. I don't make her do any of the things that I made our Cola do. Dixie doesn't have to stay on the entrance mat, or sleep outside. I don't even have it in me to take her to the kennel. We're going away for Christmas and I've made arrangements for a friend who fosters dogs to look after her. Cola had to deal with the barking masses at the kennel. Dixie got new food the other day. I mixed it with her old kibbles so that the transition would be easier on her tummy. I came home at lunch today to find all the new kibbles gone from her bowl, and all the old kibbles on her place mat under the bowl (yes, she has her own pink place mat).
• Matthew now loves riding the bus. He asked me if he really had to get off the bus and go to school. He'd really rather just ride the bus all day, and then come home, and sort of skip the school part. Dear Lord, help me, it has occurred to my kindergartner that he'd like to cut class!
• That's the long and the short of the news, will post some pics soon so that you can actually see what's been going on.

Love and hugs,
