Off and Running

Going away for the weekend so I figured I'd blog a bit before I left. Not going far, a few streets over to the MILs house to take care of her farm while she's away. So, two farms for the next month with a total of five cats, two dogs, and two aquariums (one of which is around 160 gallons) need to be tended to. It'll be fun though. I'm sure the next month of bouncing between two houses is going to go by fairly quickly. Busy busy busy!!!

Miss Lily went to see Kung Fu Panda with her class today and she highly recommends it although she says it is somewhat of a sad story: The Panda couldn't fight even though he tried, an old guy helps him and then at the end, he can fight. That's my five-year-old's synopsis of the movie....very in-depth. I can't blame her for not being so descriptive since she had a hard day with the rotten kid in her class. I shouldn't really call him rotten, he can't help who he is but he's a bully whether we like the title or not. I don't care if he has new medication and is working with the school counsellor because sometimes others need to step in. This kid needs an aid, badly but they're dragging their heels. In the meantime, he picks on the smallest girls in the class, poor Miss Lily happens to be one of them. He has done things like try to pull her eyes out with scissors, push her around, call her names & swear at her. Rough stuff. Today he told her she was ugly, cursed at her, made fun of her pictures so she spent most of the afternoon after the movie crying. Her teacher called to let me know that she was upset in school. Ugh...it sucks to see my little girl being picked on but she knows it's not her fault and that all the mean things he says aren't true. I'm thinking about sending Little Miss Chloe to school to protect Miss Lily. That rough and tumble little one could certainly take care of business.

I'm all packed and ready to go, just waiting on Big Cranky to get home so we can head out to the wild blue yonder. Errrr....maybe the windy, rainy, grey yonder...gross....uncivilized even. There is no reason for us to be wearing sweaters in June. WAIT – it's Friday the 13^th!! This is actually the perfect weather for today...creeeeeeepy. I'm going to make popcorn, a huge cup of tea and settle to a nice horror flick tonight I think. Yeah. Nice.
