Maeghan is asleep now. She goes to bed at 7:30. It seems kind of early to me but she doesn't have a nap everyday, so she is tired by then and goes straight to sleep.
Today, all the kids were over when I got home from work. It was rather noisy. Maeghan was the loudest. She decided that since Daddy was home, it was time to sing and dance all around the house. I have no idea what she was singing but she was singing loud.
Leslie follows me around all the time when I get home and he is here. I don't know why. He follows me into the bedroom when I change clothes and hangs around in the kitchen when I am making dinner. It might be because I give him treats all the time. Actually, I give Maeghan treats, but since he is hanging around, he gets on too. When all the kids are here, I have to give all of them one. Tonight it was jelly beans. Leslie put his in his mouth and swalled it immediately. He kept crying for more but I told him he had already had one. Maeghan can only eat one or two before she gets tired of them. She seems to be that way with all sweets. She always wants one but she will only eat one or two. Sometimes, she can eat a whole box by herself but not often.
She was watching me cook tonight. Actually, she had come in running away from Leslie and had me pick her up. Since I had stuff in the pan on the stove, she was asking what it was. I was cooking cabbage, onions and bacon to go with our pork chops. We had brocolli also. She said she likes bacon so I gave her a piece. She ate five or six pieces while I was holding her. She then said she didn't want anymore and went into the other room. Of course, when it came time to eat dinner, she wouldn't eat the bacon. She ate a couple of piecies of pork chop but decided she didn't want her dinner. About an hour later, she asked for bickies (that's cookies to non-english speaking people). I gave her a bickie and she went into the other room to watch TV. A few minutes after that, she called out to me saying 'more bickies'. I gave her another one but she made the mistake of going into the living room where her mother was. Mommy told her she shouldn't have any bickies since she did not eat her dinner. She then came into me and asked where her dinner was. I told her it was on the counter and asked if she wanted it. She said no, Mommy wanted it.
I have to go clean the George Forman grill now. Apparently, I am the only one who can do it. I do tell everyone not to clean my pans because they ruin them but sometimes, they get tired of them sitting around on the stove and clean them for me. I bought myself a new set of pans for Christmas and have told everyone they are not to wash them ever and they are never to go into the dish washer. I know that means I will have to clean them every night but the dish washer ruins the pans and I don't want them scratched, so will have to do it myself.
Juanita says it doesn't count if I buy presents for myself, but they were on sale and I needed some good pans. I have a lot of other ones and she seems to think I will get rid of them when I get the new ones. I hate to tell her I need all the pans as the old ones are just getting seasoned right and I know how to cook with them. I do have about 10 fry pans so maybe I can get rid of a couple. I doubt it but she can always hope.
Anyway, she has reminded me again that I have to clean the George Forman, so I will be going now before she brings it over to the computer and sets it on the keyboard.
