It's not all about JaDee


It is my blog for cryin' out loud. I should have something to say on it, no matter where the action is.

The current crisis of the day is getting Olivia to wear clothes. She is currently clad in panties with long strips of toilet paper clutched in each hand running around the house calling the dog to follow. He obliges and so the click click click of his newly clipped nails (a la me...That was fun wrestling an 80 lb lab into submission while I try not to cut too short.) is not the scrape scrape scrape it was a few days ago.

Olivia is very much enthralled with her power that she has over Champ. He listens to her. Lets her clip his leash to his collar and even lets her parade him around on it. He heels at her command, follows her through tunnels of empty boxes and catches everything she throws at him. Even her dinner.

And most of the time she is naked. Or some vital part of clothing is missing. One day she bent over and her little bare bottom poked out from her dress. She was on the back deck waiting for Champ to finish his business (She is very good at letting him out and calling him back in).

"Olivia! Get in here and get some panties on!"

"But Mom, I don't need panties. My dress covers my bagina."
"I don't care! Get in here now!"

And in her exasperated, I have no more patience for Mom voice she says, "SooorrrrrY!" with a little high pitch in her voice for emphasis.

I get the panties on but lost the battle over a coat since she did inform me she had her boots on (and she did. She does where her boots outside if nothing else. Once I caught her in the garage with ONLY boots on).

Besides, it was 37 degrees outside. Summer is just around the corner!

Check out this newcomer to The Bird Cafe. I better get that bird book...I have no idea what it is, except it was huge! Like a foot long and soooooo blue!

Did Carter and Ethan go through a naked stage too? Too bad you don't live in Hawaii, then Olivia could roam free without the fear of frostbite! I like your rug in the first pic, by the way. Is that new?

Liv is looking tall and skinny. Grant's still got a pretty good midsection.

Bagina!!! HAA! I'm cracking up...that's totally what we used to call it in our house because my daughter (who is 11 now) couldn't say it right. Then we decided once she was old enough we would pronounce it "China". You crack me up Nicole! Isn't it freezing over there? It's 50 degrees out here and I'm in sweats and hoodie inside my house and freezing my bootay off!

As long as the "bagina" is covered, she's good to go! What a funny little gal!!

LOL. Sometimes my eight year old boy will go around in an overlarge shirt and no undies when he first wakes up. Must not be cold enough in our apartment.

I love hearing about your adventures with Olivia! They are hilarious!

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

"Education enriches the mind and enlightens the
soul," --Nicole Moncur 2008

"Reading can be dangerous." --Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale


BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
