Magnetic Bear Pee Creamer Campaign

Big D and I were awakened this morning at 4:30 by a loud crashing sound.  I, who was very concerned that someone had perhaps broken into our home, sent Big D to check it out while I dozed back off until he came back to our room.  Apparently, our large magnet board, where I hang magnets from all of our home schooling field trips, detached itself from the wall.  (Interesting that this is located in Dirty Harry’s room on the second floor or our home.  He slept through the entire ordeal, and we were awakened at impact.)  When I asked him what took him so long, he informed me that Clara then decided it was as good a time as any to pee on the kitchen floor.  He was thoroughly awake after magnet board inspection and pee patrol duty, so he just proceeded to get ready for work.  Let me tell you….there’s nothing like starting your Monday at 4:30 AM…especially when urine is involved.

The Bears won yesterday, defeating  last year’s SuperBowl champs, the Pittsburg Steelers.  Finally!  I was off to a very dismal start to the football season, after both the Bears and the Titans lost last week, and then the Titans lost again this weekend.  If the Bears had lost yesterday, I was thinking of picking a favorite and watching the new season of “Dancing with the Stars,” and another reality TV show is the LAST thing I need to add to my life.

Sadly, I used the last of the creamer this morning, and sadly, the last of the creamer equaled about 1/4 of a teaspoon.  So I’m currently drinking my coffee with 2% milk, which is very close to being a crime.  This means I will have to go to the grocery store sometime today, an activity I’ve been avoiding for the past 36 hours.

And, finally, Bonny Annie is running for middle school representative at her tutorial.  The elections are Thursday, which means this is going to be a weird, busy week.  I don’t know how this differs from any other week around here, but I’m just sayin’….

Have a happy, productive Monday free of flying magnets and pee puddles!
