Morning everyone.
AWW poor Kim, I hope you feel better soon. I am sniffling and sneezing myself but no fever or chills. Mine is probably more allergy related than anything else.
Dalpal, how lucky you are to have all of those lovely little granddaughters. Maybe if I let MY daughter live past those teenage years I too will have some granddaughters.
She wanted to have a "nap" at 7 pm last night and asked me to wake her up if her boyfriend called or came by. As he did neither, I didn't wake her up and she slept until this morning. So of course I was in trouble for not getting her up to take her medicine and take out her contacts for the night. I knew if I woke her up she would be up until all hours of the morning, so I left her sleeping.
Bad, bad, mommy
Every year at this time our city has what is called The Faire at the Forkes or Heritage Days. It is an old time fair depicting life in 1812, during the War of 1812. It is a pretty big affair with re-enactors coming from as far away as Pennsylvania, Ohio etc. to be involved. It revolves around the battles that involved the great Shawnee Chief Tecumseh and the battles that were fought with the Americans, British and Canadians and natives in this area. Re-enactors sleep in old style canvas tents on straw, and dress in period costume. They also stage mock battles.
Well, every year the scout troup that my son was involved with runs as food booth and they also feed all of the reenactors breakfast on the weekend. That is well over 300 people to cook breakfast for and takes a lot of work and requires starting quite early in the morning!!!
This was the first year that I have not attended because of our business trip but my kids both went (even though neither is involved in Scouts anymore, they just love Heritage Days!!!)
That is why my daughter was so tired!!
