Nitemares.

I am awake at 1:30 am on Monday morning because I was having bad dreams.  I tried to get back to sleep, but couldn't...so now my computer and I are in the guest bed. 

It was one of those days tho, that every thing just bugged me.  Our animals are the craziest things!  Bella got in trouble and I crated her for the first time, for being out across the road in the farmer's field.  She came back all muddy. So, I put her in the crate.  A while later, I felt bad, so I uncrated her and let her in the house, only to have her eat a whole pan of made from scratch Blondies.  I was so pissed.  So, of course, after her "punishment", I let her back in the house, but she knows I'm pissed, so she's extra needy...which means she'll randomly lick me on the elbow or toe.  Not to even mention the cat who pulls things off of the shelves.  I'll go into the kitchen and there will be a whole mess of stuff on the floor from him pulling it off.  I have to put things like sugar or flour into bowls with lids because he slices the bags open and gets it's contents all over the floor. 

And then, I made the mistake of reading a blog written by a 27 year old woman, who has a young daughter and twin baby boys, who found out a week ago, that she has cancer.  Usually, I'm pretty good about stuff like that, but for some reason, she's haunting me.  I don't know how she fit into my nightmares, but when I woke up she was there, in my head.

The good news about yesterday was that it was warm.  Only for about 2 hours, but it was nice.  I sat outside and watched Magnum practice some archery target shooting...which is a very sexy sport.  :)  He also mowed the grass...which I just realized, smells different here in NY than in IL.  How the hell is that possible?  It must be the humidity in Illinois that makes it smell stronger...maybe? 

I'm gonna try to sleep some more now.
