Not Allowed On The Internet?!!! Never...

So here it is 3 a.m. and the Northern Lights are beautiful. I woke from a nasty dream and couldn't get back to sleep so what do I choose to do to help pass the time. Write for the blog.

I have been avoiding the internet for a few days because our usage has gone way over our allotted 5000MB. Teapot put the boots to the girls using the internet for a few more days when the clock rolls over and we reset back to 0.  If the girls can't use it then neither can I. But here I am hoping to help pass a few hours and take my mind off that disturbing dream I had.

 In the last few days I have seen the end of Mom's and Dad's bathroom renovation, seen Teapot through another birthday, (he was 48 this year), gone shopping with the daughters for school supplies and clothes etc., had fires in the deck fireplace three evenings in a row, taken my Dad to the hospital for an ultrasound, sheared the ram and gave all sheep shots before the guy who is buying them takes them away, rounded up one love sick alpaca who insists on jumping the fence into the paddock next to his girlfriend, gone for several walks, finished some of my level 5 50 hour project, and worked on some tiles for the sun room. I've even been going for a few little walks with the pooches. They've enjoyed it and so have I.

One thing I have noticed while on walks in the last few days is that somehow in the last week we have been beset upon by autumnal weather for sure.  There is no doubt that camping days are at an end... I've had warm sweaters out and I even wore a pair of.... dare I say it?!!.... socks! I had to because when walking one must wear a pair of descent shoes... and it follows that one needs socks inside descent shoes. I can't believe it... I caved. Socks before October... unheard of....

With September here we cannot, no matter how hard we try avoid the disgusting word... sch--l!  Teapot heads out daily now to work in his class to prepare for those little snot nosed beggars darlings. We have stirrings of strikes in our future as Teapot heads back to school with no contract and bargaining broken down... I dread the thought. I hate with a passion strikes as they stir the blood for a big fight for rights and then nothing ever comes of it. Everyone gets legislated back to work and then meanwhile families bare the brunt of it by suffering worry and tribulation as we wonder if we will meet our regular payments. I hate strikes... everyone loses.

Anyway, it is now heading for 4 a.m. and I'm starting to feel pooped... this is a good thing as I'm supposed to be pooped at night and not in the day... I'm off to bed, this time hopefully to sleep peacefully with better dreams...
