Day 8 morning edition

Up breakfast, captain crunch, and orange juice. We finished the movie Last Night, and Chance fell asleep on the sofa and then moved into his mom’s recliner wrapped in a blanket, so I just left him there about 3 am I woke up, and he had come into my room and worked his way under the blankets at the foot of the bed still asleep. I just let him stay. He talks in his sleep. Turns out he is a kicker and bed hog. How someone so little can cover 98% of a bed, I will never Know.

Chance: This milk tastes funny

Me: wait, don’t drink it; it may be spoiled

Chance: how can you mess up captain crunch

Me: we have some powdered milk

Chance: is it good

Me: it’s wet

Chance: can’t be any worse than the stuff you make (he smiled)

While he ate, I made a shopping list Claytons is only an hour away (it’s a grocery store) if I go cross country and back roads. It’s funny, I don’t want to get that far away from Chance, in case. But we can’t keep living out of Allsups

Me: Anything you what to add to this list?

Chance: Frozen dinners, a lot of them

Me: do you want a ride to school

Chance: can we pick up Casey, and you don’t embarrass me cause you ait funny

Me: I guess, but you could be a little nicer about it

Chance: well, it’s true

Me: call her and see if it’s ok with her folks and finish getting ready

Chance: I’m ready

Me: comb your hair, brush your teeth. You’re not wearing that shirt. There is a hole in the back the size of a quarter

Chance: I brushed my teeth before I ate

Me: That’s my point before. do it again

Chance: fine, but a waste of toothpaste already did it.

Picked up Casey Chance, got out of the truck and walked to the door, and walked her back to the truck. Dropped them off. And watched them walk into the building. In the back of my mind, I worry his mom will come back and try to take him. Shopping was fun, it cost to eat. I was shocked at what I had spent. Got home and put up groceries that wore me out, another job that is not fun. Now go to ranch chores
