2/15/06 Who left the lights on?
"Good morning Phoebe and why do you think that you have to be fed at 0430 fat cat of mine? And who left the lights on in the living room? I thought that I turned those out..." Imagine my surprise when it is not lights but about 4 inches of snow on my patio railing and floor that is so greatly illuminating my living room as if the sun comes up at 0430. Heck, why am I up at 0430? Is anyone in my time zone up this early? Yea, didn't think so.
Coffee is ready. Will not even attempt straight hair today since there is obvious moisture about...Will have to get the snow boots though cuz wet feet first thing in the morning and all day at work will not be fun. I guess that I will have to wear a coat now too....Snow really puts a kink in things.
I had a chat with my brother yesterday. He doesn't think that I should bring up Brianna's grades amongst mixed company (his inlaws). He says it is bad for her self esteem. Whatever. I am the parent number one! Number 2, I have raised her from birth with the knowledge that college and grades are important. She has seen me in the student role and is in that role herself. She has earned good grades so what is the problem this year? Laziness is not an excuse that I will accept!
Also he is confused about the gestational carrier role that I am going to undertake physically in April. He said that everyone at dinner thought that my friend had gotten me in that condition. Where the hell did that come from? Do they not listen to me ever? I even mentioned Jill and Randy's names and the fact that they will be the parents.....Guess no one takes me seriously nor do they "listen" when I am talking. OK, that is how it is going to be????? I can play that game too!
I fail to understand why this and last year, he thinks that he can assume the role of family patriarch. Has the boy gone mad? Or simply watched too many episodes of the Sopranos/Godfather? I mean yea, he is the married one and he has a second baby girl on the way but get real! I am the oldest and have done oh so well without a father, that I am really not impressed that my younger brother all the sudden thinks that he has to take care of the family! Whatever!
Off to the shower, wool socks and snowboots. If I had a digital camera, I would send y'all proof that it exists, snow that is. But I haven't gone that route yet. Maybe this weekend! Max optical zoom and 3-5 mega pixels plus flash and timer and a decent sized viewing screen.....
