I did have to talk to Dick tonight.

I went to the girls’ basketball game (which they lost) so I was running late for work. I had already told Supe that I would be late but I would be there by 5:45. Since they decided to play another period (can’t call it a quarter because they played 5 periods.) I was later than expected. But I made cookies!

Rather than cleaning like a fiend like I would normally do being this upset I baked instead.

So we got home from the game, I changed clothes, and headed out the door ~ without the cookies. I was not far from home when I discover that I was going to work cookie-less after saying that I would bring cookies so I turned around and went back home.

Upon arriving in the driveway I saw Grace. She took off running but still one of the babies was in the driveway. I got out of my car and when the baby did not move I knew that I had run it over when I left the first time. I know that it sounds morbid but I wanted to make sure that it was dead. I wanted to be sure that it was not lying there just injured. It was dead and it was not a pretty sight! I am just sick about it!

I tried to get in and out with the cookies without any of the kids coming to the door and noticing the dead kitty. But as I went in Grace scooted in too so Alexa was going to put her back out and noticed the baby right away. I told her not to come out and yes it is dead and it is ugly.

So I had to call Dick to ask him to take care of it when he got home from work. I am not sure which one it was. It was either Big Jim or Smokey. It could have been Fluffy. It was one of the big furry ones. Poor baby! Poor Grace!

I called Supe and told him that I was on my way ~ because I was later than expected. He asked how long it would take so I told him about 20 minutes if I don’t hit a deer on this dark, gravel road. Blah, blah, blah ~ everything is fine and we hang up. About a mile down the road what do you suppose jumped out in front of me? If you guessed a deer you are right! I came so close to hitting that deer but I am aware of the deer population (even after hunting season) that I keep a good look out for those deer.

My cookies were a hit!
