Foiled Surprises

Oy -- it's late.
I've been late getting out of work every night since the Brit left. I can't quite figure out if that's because he's gone and I'm feeling no need to be out of there, pronto....or if that's just validation of why the decision was made for me not to go with him on the trip.
Either case--it's validation that the right choice was made.
It's nutso at work....plain and simple.

And this morning, bright and early, the Brit rang to tell on the girl. *snickering*
He must forget that this is my child. I taught her longgggg ago to tell on herself. She'd already rang.
LOL It so took the wind out of his sails--the poor thing.
He also told me he knew I'd been working on the trainroom ceiling.
Yep--the surprise was shared by the girl who'd not realized that it WAS a surprise. Oops?

Typical Brit fashion--he needed to make certain that I'd actually MOVED the trains out of the room--ya know, in case the ceiling falls down.
"Nope. Darn that I didn't think of that." (oh he's fun to get going..LOL)
I did tell him that it's no good to have a project if he knows what it is.
So--I'm thinkin' I'll leave it 3/4's finished, put his trains BACK on the track and lollygag around cuz I can!

Okay, I'm not REALLY thinking that--but I told him I was.
Funny........he had more of an adversion to me moving the trains BACK than he did of me not finishing the project.

Note to self:
Hide one of the trains.
Preferrably that cute little shay one that he's so fond of.

:-D

Oh, I'm such a trouble maker! LOL

I'm commenting here, because I simply can't comment on every post... You *are* a trouble maker, and that's part of why we love you.

I really do truly despise reading your blog though Mel - it makes me cry, every time, without fail.

It teaches me, stretches me, and still manages to make me feel all fuzzy inside. Silly Gal.

I do cherish you....

Now - go hide that train... OH and - did you make the quilt that resides under Mr. stuffy bear? Just curious.

Much love,

Sara

*chuckling* Already hid the engine...not a boxcar mind you--an engine. :-)

And the quilt--it's faded and old and worn to that 'can't sleep without it' state.
And it's yep, it's mine.

((((((((Sara)))))))))

BTW? I feel pretty graced that by reading there's laughter and tears and stretching for someone *I* cherish dearly.

I'm humbled......
