Loot post
Today got off to a rocky start, as Our Darling Boy got up in an untimely manner as well as on the wrong side of the futon, thus getting his Adderall (The Wonder Drug!) later than normal, thus making him a Crank-meister Deluxe during the get-ready-for-school part of his morning routine. What with one thing and another, SOMEONE is off his computer until Tuesday! (Yes, I AM the meanest mom in the world, thanks for noticing. :) )
The plus side of the above is that he DID finally grasp that he was only digging his pit deeper (losing one day of computer privilege at a time) and he was eventually able to stop himself. We are striving for self-control induced by enlightened self-interest, and despite the occasional epic battle, it does seem to be slowly working.
I had to be up early anyway to go to an estate sale. It was a good one, so I came out in a MUCH better mood than I had going in. WooHoos: Nice local history and professional horse type books, a wool Pullman railroad blanket (!), chenille spread, 2 older Levi jackets and a denim cowboy hat. Too bad I didn't have that for the Stock Show last week!
