Sleeping Out

Yesterday I needed a break after Jaime had a huge meltdown where she tried to beat me up :( Her new meds are not working too well to put it mildly. During her total blow up and ensuing harangue, I lost my temper and yelled like a maniac. Jaime decided to run off down the paddy trail saying she was going to get help from the neighbors.. sigh..
At any rate, after that I took my chair and went out in the woods to read, leaving John somewhat in charge.

While I was out there in the trees, the wind blocked by the high brush, I watched some grouse up in the pines and thought maybe I would get out the tent and stay out there all night. So I did. I also asked Tom and Reubs if they wanted to sleep out, which they did. We brought the Fritos, root beer and diet Sierra Mist and a million blankets with us.
Kat came out and read to us... She is reading The Fellowship of the Ring out loud to Tom and Reuben... so we snuggled down in our covers and listened.

It was not too bad a night, though my feet were a little cold by morning as it got down to 28 degrees.... and I still had to come in and face the same old same old this morning... Snow is forecasted for Wednesday. Nuts...
