Perhaps they have another name here in England or perhaps they simply don't make anything like them here. Yes, there's something so nice about sleeping in the same bed as someone you love. I remember how great it felt getting in to bed with my parents when I was a tiny kid. I never got the impression they liked it as much as I did though :) Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-76501546764671461122020-07-12T10:48:04.497-04:002020-07-12T10:48:04.497-04:00I've thought that about sleep, too.

But I guess it's also the safest thing we could do, too -- sleep with another -- as opposed to sleeping on our own.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-71583095027618584002020-07-11T20:21:16.899-04:002020-07-11T20:21:16.899-04:00I have often thought about the intimacy of two peo...I have often thought about the intimacy of two people lying down to sleep next to each other too.

But I have no idea how in the world you could make any of it disappear. It's not like he's probably going to clean up for good any time soon. I feel so sorry for you and for Gracie and even for that precious little boy even though he is loved and taken care of. You're right- one day he's going to see all this crap and it's not going to be good for him. But kids sure can be resilient and strong, especially if they have loving adults on their side. Which he does. <br />I don't mind being alone. I'm not sure what it says about me but I find myself highly entertaining for the most part. <br />I am staying as safe as I can be. You're right - Florida's a damn mess.

I had to laugh though because when I woke up, he was on my husband's side of the bed! In fact, he napped there all day, practicing up for tonight's event, I guess. He is one lazy cat. <br />I don't deal with the heat since I got older either. It's weird.

There is a protection order in place now for Gracie, finally, but still shit continues. So my son's wife to be is an old druggie, who I'm guessing is clean now and she's pregnant. She also lost her children for awhile due to drugs. I feel like I'm trapped in a nightmare.<br /><br />That being said, my grandson remains happy and innocent. He's upstairs sound asleep. I dread the day he realizes all of the shit that swirls around him.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're alone but glad your hubby got to go fishing. And you have Jack, so there's that:)<br /><br />Stay safe my friend.

Well, it is summer but I just don't deal with the heat as well as I did when I was younger. I bet those bread and butter pickles will be delicious! They are my favorite pickles and my Mother used to make them all the time. I hope Jack sleeps with you tonight. I love sleeping with soft, cuddly cats. I usually sleep with two cats and one husband. It's a full bed with our two cats.

I painted the mailbox instead of washing dishes this evening and cooked some lovely local beef in the crock pot out in the garage. It's sooo tasty. Three hawks were having some kind of drama above our yard so I stood there in the middle yelling up at them, all my birds and the one son slightly concerned by my behavior. I've had hawks swoop down on half grown ducks, and my new hennies are perfectly snack sized at the moment. They are so pretty and perfectly half sized right now! big mamabirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758974733590946010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-24950677200659513202020-07-10T20:49:10.296-04:002020-07-10T20:49:10.296-04:00It was 91 here today.
