There's even KOALAS Hubs, KOALAS!!!

I've had the longest sleepless night of my life. I don't know what crawled up Ava and Dellyne last night but...ARGH!

All night long! Up and down with their barking incessantly at the air. They were sleeping soundly inside until I decided I had done enough and could go to sleep already. At first, I thought it was someone outside. After checking, there was nothing.

Then I thought maybe they needed potty breaks. But after letting them each out three times...separately...no. That wasn't their issue.

At around 3:30 and the third and final time of letting Dellyne out, I sat on the sofa to wait for her and fell asleep. I woke up just shy of 4:30 to find that she had decided to run off on me. I got in the van to go find her and ended up freezing with no dog to show for it.

Ava had been begging to be let out so I had let her out while I went to look for Dellyne. When I got home, that son of a biscuit licking dog was out there with Ava running around, having the time of her life! I could've killed.

We slid and slipped our way into the house (there is still snow out there) and I put Dellyne back in her kennel and Ava laid out on the floor. This time, I pulled my blanket out and got ready to lay on the couch. As soon as I had snuggled down, I heard Ava get up and leave the room. At this point we are looking at about 5:15 am. I get the kids up and 6 am for school.

About 5:18 am, Dellyne starts trying to flip her kennel and barking again. I yell for her to shut up and go to sleep but no...she does it until about 2 minutes before the alarm goes off. Well maybe 5, because it was enough time for me to throw her butt out in her kennel and come inside and snuggle down just in time for the alarm to go off in my bedroom.

I've vowed that those two will remain outside even if an icy winter blizzard ( I don't think we get those) comes through town. After all the dog next door, the dogs across the street and many more out in the world all stay out in all kinds of weather. no?

Anyway, my point and I did forget I had one, is that during that hour stretch where I dozed off and Dellyne ran away, I had the strangest dream. The neighbors cats have really been coming over and killing rabbits in our yard. They have been leaving various parts all over the place. It is sooo gross.

Well my dream was that I put out rabbit traps. I think they probably should have been cat traps but they were rabbit traps and I forgot to check them. When I remembered, there was a rabbit that was trapped in the cage and three other rabbits and two koalas trying to get the poor bunny out.

At first, I thought they were all rabbits and in the dream I was telling Hubs there were stuck rabbits and I was going to have to go free them. Nevermind the fact that they were huge animated rabbits that looked like they had stepped out of a Wii game. But then, one of them turned around and it was a koala! I told Hubs: "There's even Koalas out there!" He had no reaction or at least not a good enough one for me so I said "Koalas!" He murmured "really?", because in my dream he was actually sleeping!

Then I woke up and realized I fell asleep and panicked about the dog. I have no idea where the koalas came from. But it was interesting...to me. lol

Are there any dream interpreters out there who would like to take a stab at this one?

My 100th Post!

This here is my 100th post! Yay!

Now that I've gotten that out of my system...ahem...lol

Last night I fell asleep on the couch watching CSI: Miami with Hubs.

Why is that special?

I had a dream.

I had a dream the blonde girl came to collect trace of the van...for what I have no idea. I was sitting in the back and she started spraying and off came dust and crap and I exclaimed "it cleans too!" I know dorky. She said nothing to me...just continued to work.

I sat back and watched her vacuum and clean the van up. Boy was I smug. I knew I hadn't done anything but I was getting my van cleaned....deep cleaned...for free. Isn't that pathetic? lol

This comes because we have finally received the foldaway chair for the van that we have so desperately needed. It's been a nightmare and that's why I hadn't mentioned it before. night.mare.

Speaking of nightmare...cleaning that van is going to be a nightmare. I absolutely dread it. I keep telling myself to make it a tackle...but I think I'm just going to have to trick myself one of these days and get out there and do it. You know the whole "I'll just take the trash out, well....since I'm here, I'll just take this and that.." until it's done.

I was hoping to report good news when all was said and done...so that's that.

Other than that. It's FRIDAY!!!

3 out of 5 kids will be on a girl scout trip this weekend most of Saturday...YES!

I plan to take the other two to see Santa, that way I can split them up and take the other 3 on Sunday. I think we are actually going to go look into washers and dryers. Maybe I'll tell that story later.

I always put my lights up on the first unless there's snow or rain. We'll see how that goes, since both are in the forecast.

Things are looking up. I hope I didn't just jinx it. So what do you have planned for the weekend, Enquiring minds want to know???
