Tattle Tale Tuesday

Memere and Pepere got their power back around lunch time yesterday. After lunch they went home.

When dad heard that, he said to mom "Now we have to fend for ourselves," because memere had been the driving force behind the dinners they'd been having. Mom thought it was pretty funny. So did memere.

Another Vacation Day?

Mom has to go back to work today, but PlusOne gets a day off from school. The school superintendent called off school because "too many streets remain littered with fallen trees and power lines." It presents a "safety issue for students, most of whom walk to school." In addition, 23 city streets are still closed. "I just don't want kids out walking on that. They could get hurt."



Mom won't argue with that, because there are still people who have no power (memere and pepere are among them) and some of them only live four blocks from us.

Memere INSISTED on folding mom's laundry today, and Pepere INSISTED on doing the dishes. I kid you not. Mom finally stopped arguing with them because it was stressing them out too much. So she let them clean. Who is mom to stand in the way of someone wanting to do the dishes?

Imposing

Memere is afraid of "imposing" on mom and dad, since they have no power and must stay with us.

Does this look like pepere is imposing on us? More like we are posing on him.

This is our neighbor's tree.

Luckily they have a big backyard. The tree came within a foot of the neighbor's house. That's what you call a close call.

Rainy Friday




330,000 people have no power. Memere is one of them. She will be coming over later because we don't know when her power will be restored. 50 streets are closed with downed power lines and the cities of Salem and Windham have absolutely NO power. We do, and boy is mom happy about that.

Thursday Three

1) As you can see here, Tubby, I mean Lucky wasn't sitting on me.

2) Memere and PlusOne do not like me calling Lucky Tubby.

3) Dr. Lovesmealot never said Lucky was fat. He actually never said anything about her weight. Mom just thinks Lucky should lose 1 pound or so for her continued health and well being. (And I just like being a brat.)
