Monsoon Madness

I was quite possibly the laziest person on the planet for most of the day today. Jason got up for work at 6:00 and Ollie woke up at 6:15. Ollie kept his normal routine of eating breakfast and then back to sleep, and today I joined him. He woke back up around 9:15, so I somehow rolled myself out of bed to tend to him, but the stormy weather made us both drowsy. We climbed into my bed and before I knew it we both dozed off again. Daddy called around 10:00 to let us know he would be home around 12:00. Answering the phone took more energy than I wanted to exert.

Eventually we got up, got dressed, and pulled ourselves together. The rain just kept pouring outside and the storms gave poor Betsy one mini heart attack after another. Pretty soon, Daddy was home and he brought me two Gold Star cheese coneys. YUMMY and best of all I didn't have to make lunch!

I think Daddy was jealous of our laziness, so he and Ollie got back in bed. I swear, we never hang out in bed all day, so I'm not sure what our deal was. I guess we'll blame it on the rain. Daddy napped for a few minutes, but Ollie was done being lazy and wanted some action.

That didn't last for long though, because after about 10 minutes riding Rusty, he was rubbing his eyes, indicating he was ready for his afternoon nap. While Ollie slept, Daddy and I watched Gran Torino on pay-per-view and just as the credits rolled, Ollie woke up again. His timing is so good he might someday work in show business.

Just as we thought the rain was letting up, the storms rolled in again. Luckily Ollie is not the slightest bit affected by the thunder or lightening (the same can't be said for Betsy). The boys played on the floor and Ollie tried out his new chair Marsha bought him. That is until Daddy decided he needed a pillow.


Thankfully the rain finally stopped around 5:00. We took this opportunity to take a walk and play outside before we tuned into complete blobs. It felt good to get moving and since the sun was out I began to feel energized.


Once Ollie went to bed, I got so pumped up, I cleaned the entire house. I guess today proved that I just can't sit around, even when I try.
