Around our house we have traditions and rituals. Schedules and procedure that dictate the passage of our day. Night time Is no exception. Upon returning home at the end of our day, dinner is prepared (mom, dad and Elijah taking turns) we all sit at the dinner table (no toys, no TV) light conversations ensues (with the customary admonishments for loud voices, arguing, unpleasant topics, hands off and proper eating etiquette) Once completed the elementary kiddos and Izzy go to their prospective bathrooms and the boys share the shower and the girls the bath, while the older boys "clear and clean" Miranda then has her dinner and Mom and Dad after dinner coffee. Then it's set out clothes for the morning, pick up debris, (if they didn't dawdle, story time) then kisses, tuck ins and lights out.
Hence our evening.
Well from time to time this organization goes askew. For whatever reason not everything goes according to plan. Last night, shortly before I got home Izzy lay down for a nap. NOT a good thing as she can take half hour power nap and keep the whole house awake until 3 or so in the morning. Once dinner hit the table we tried to wake her but she was out, so we opted to let her rest with the idea we would put her to bed once the boys finished their shower.
Well the boys hit the water and Rozy took her bath. Once all was said and done and the kiddos were preparing for bed the prerequisite battle royal between Owen and Rozy roused Izzy. Luckily she didn't wake cranky! She had her dinner, but as she still appeared slightly groggy I made the foolish decision to just wash her face and hands and put her to bed.
Oh Nay, Nay!!
Like her father, young Miss Izzy is becoming a real stickler for protocol and when it was announced she would be going to bed without her bath I quite honestly think the gates of Hades briefly opened up, and a sulphur and brimstone tantrum ensued as she defiantly thrust fist to hips and announced in a bellowing righteously indignant voice "But you are SUPPOSED TO!!!!"
Young miss Izzy was treated to a sour apple bubble bath with her hair diligently washed, dried and brushed. Fresh jammies and extra tucks and kisses by Mommy.
I have NO illusions into who is really in charge.
ANYWAY!
Wow. Talk about dead. Yesterday brought a deluge of rain making the majority of the population of Florida cower in their homes.
Apparently.
We had a few stalwarts brave the elements to visit, and we do so appreciate the kind words and praise. I am very happy to see that one of our new friends was able to locate a suitable (albeit temporary) bike as she has professed to needing to get out, and out soon to exercise. I'm sorry we were not able to find what she was looking for but she got a real sweet Trek Navigator for a descent price, and I'm happy we could help a little bit in getting it fitted for her. Also thanks for the cool Mongoose she sold us, I should have that one ready later today!
Also shout out and appreciation to the folks who had been down vacationing and picked up the Schwinn hybrid on the vacation rental. They returned it in top notch shape and that gem is available again!
All right, best I get to work as gots lot to build!
Remember, God created rain coats so you could visit bike shops.
