Saturday

Today is not a pretty Saturday.  Fell asleep last night watching the lightening show and awoke to the first of what is supposed to be a day filled with severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings.  Just one the prices we pay for not having to shovel snow everyday in the winter for months on end.  In Alabama we get a snow warning, go to the store and buy as much bread, milk and toilet paper as we can.  We 1 to 2 inches by morning and by 2:00 p.m. it's gone and we are all at the mall or movie celebrating the fact that no one had to go to work or school today.

Riley stayed the night with us last night.  She woke me up this morning with her Pop-pop by squealing and laughing and playing on my bed!  All morning she has been running around chasing Mylie, trying to eat the dog food and generally acting like a soon to be 2 year old should act.  I am going to be a really stressed out exhausted person by the time this day is over.  The other 3 have just gotten and Tyler is already in timeout on the couch until his Aunt Cara comes to get them at 5:30 or 6:00.  Don't worry, he will be back here in time out several more times before the day is over.  This he hit Gabbie in the head with a dumbell and then when Austin told him that I said to come here he said "NO!"

Holly and my granddog Cino came over this morning.  Her and John moved yesterday into a house that is only 5 mins. away.  (I am so excited.  She just moved out this past summer and I've really missed her.  She is my baby after all.)  They don't have cable yet and she wanted to check on the weather and raid my fridge for breakfast.  Mylie was so pissed.  She loves Holly but hates Cino.  She snarls and snaps and barks at him and he doesn't even acknowledge that she even exists.  By the way, Cino is a boxer and Mylie is a Malte-Poo.  If I take Mylie for a walk she will carry on like that to any dog that ignores her but if we walk by a house that has a dog that is barking at her, then I have pick her up and carry her.  She starts crying and jumping up on me, waving at me and trying to climb up me.  It is so funny.  She definitely picks who she wants to be a badass too!
