The electronics gadgets really help DGD. The "fish" in the crib is nice, she plays with the buttons a little, the water is soothing and the little light makes it not so dark all of a sudden so the transition to sleep is good. I like that it's on a timer and after a while turns itself off. The DVD player keeps me from going crazy watching minnie or barney nonstop hour after hour. She runs around and plays, then comes back to the dvd, but I can still watch news, etc. in the same room. How did we ever raise our chillin' without all this?
She slept in an hour this morning (I put her to bed an hour later last night
) and it was heaven!DWash. is running. I should get myself a project to do around here while things are quiet. I've walked the dog a couple times, she should be good for a while.
Those of you with kids around all the time, especially little ones, bwtg getting any cards done or any semblance of order maintained. I did not do so well when mine were toddlers.
The ones I wanted before up the road have been listed on Craig's-list ~ it would be way to easy for me to collect chickens but one is a hen that's raised chicks would love to have her but they were out in the wild I could feed 'em up to eating size. 
H. would have a fit! But it's so much fun! They are not really one of the breeds on my wish list ~ sigh~ hold me back! They have already eaten the mini corn muffins I put out for them last night in case I slept in which I did. Those are a hit home made crumbles, they love the thawed pumpkin as well. 
Dneighbor is taking our golf cart and my German potato salad with her. Naturally the camper guy came as she was about to walk out the door. (Her water heater stopped working).
