LONG WEEKEND

16 Feb
Written By
I AM SO GLAD IT IS MONDAY. IT WAS A REALLY REALLY LONG WEEKEND AND HAD ALOT OF DRAMA IN IT. I AM SO GLAD SINGLE AWARENESS DAY IS OVER AND MY GRANDPARENTS ARE HOME. I HAVE ALOT LESS STRESS TODAY NOW THAT THE GRANDPARENTS ARE HOME AND I NO LONGER HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING. I HAVE DECIDED I NEVER WANT KIDS AND I DON’T WANT A HOUSE OF MY OWN IT IS TO MUCH WORK. I AM TOO TIRED ALL THE TIME TO KEEP UP ON A HOUSE AND A YARD. I GUESS I AM GETTING LAZY IN MY OLD AGE LOL.
THE CATS ARE SO HAPPY TO SEE MY GRANDMA AS WELL. THEY WERE ALL UP AND EXCITED TO SEE THEM. ELINORE FOLLOWED MY GRANDMA AROUND ALL NIGHT AND JUST WANTED HER TO PET HER. IT WAS REALLY CUTE I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MUCH THE CATS MISSED THEM. SYLVIA WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MY GRANDPA. SHE LOVES TO PLAY WITH HIM ALL DAY LONG. SO THE GIRLS SHOULD BE HAPPY AGAIN. MY GRANDMA TOLD ME THAT SYLVIA HAS LOST WEIGHT AND I SAID IT IS BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T GET TO EAT ALL DAY LONG. SHE ATE ONCE OR TWICE A DAY.
