Summer "Falls" into Autumn

Badger had a dentist appointment this morning. 
Cowboy went back with her. 
He’s just better with the kids—better at calming them down and joking their fears away. 
He said they numbed it, first with something like a band-aid, then with a needle, then gave her laughing gas. 
Both he and the dentist said she did great.

grrrrrrrrr... that's all... just grrrrrrrr

Mamma got angry this morning.
The kids have just been lying around all summer long, sleeping all day and playing all night.
I clean-they trash the house after I'm in bed.
Three of them are teens who are perfectly capable of cleaning up after themselves.
I woke up to a filthy living room, an upside down kitchen, dirty clothes from one end to the other, cat and or dog poop all in my laundry room and a note saying “your cats are nasty look in the laundry room”.

Hey, Sister!

And so… The adventure begins!
