When the cat's away...?

[mandy]

I think my mom and dad did vacations for the whole family but we haven't had a vacation in a long time because of covid and then money problems.  We had 2 places we liked a lot.  One is a cabin and one is a cottage.  I think that's right.  The cabin is in a State Park and the cottage is on a lake.  What makes a cabin, a cabin and a cottage, a cottage?  Both places my mom did the mom stuff and my dad did the kid stuff.  He played Frisbee with us and that game with a birdie and rackets.  I don't remember what it's called but we played that with or without the net.  I like to go swimming too.  I miss those days.

I'm glad my parents do stuff like this. It makes me feel like they want to be parents and have us. 

[Ruby]

It makes up for how mean they are sometimes.

[cathianne]

Ruby, all good parents are "mean" sometimes. We can't love you without being the meanie when needed.

[Ruby]

That gets a thumbs down.

[Addy]

I agree with that thumbs down.

5:00 in the middle of my night   I was awakened to robodad clapping his hands and loudly saying Rise and Shine.  You have to love...NOT....the person who decides to take a mini-vacation with no warning at all.  Get up and pack your bags and be in the car in an hour was my morning.  We were on the road before I was sure I was awake.    We get here and I don't have my toothbrush or Plax so we went to a Walmart and got some and some slippers.  You can't expect me to pack in the middle of the night and remember everything. 

Should have brought you coffee!

Be ready to duck if she doesn't want the coffee.

Not if it is the good stuff. She wouldn't throw away good coffee would she? Like a good expresso roast?

[Rosie]

No she probably would not throw any of it. She has started to like coffee a lot.  Maybe she will like the coffee more than she hates the morning.
