12:36am – Up (in arms, at first)

PROVE IT, HERMY……

Happy Damned Birthday to me. 

This is I, the Ice Queen and Fire Goddess, Betty.  I felt it necessary to introduce myself since nobody seems to realize that I use the blue font as my means of identification.

Anyway, that wasn’t the point of this entry…..

We went to bed earlier….actually, it was Mikey and Jack who went to bed.  Mikey just wanted to watch tv, but Jack fell asleep.  He was thinking that that annoyed Mikey.  I don’t think it did, or if it did, Mikey can tell him, right?  Anywho….

So Lola shows up and calls, asking to be let in.  She didn’t meet her self-imposed curfew.  I don’t know for sure, but I thought we asked where Mikey was going…..it’s a good possibility we didn’t, because we had started awake.  So we go back to sleep.  Then, after a bit, Louis woke up.  He wondered where Mikey was, and he grew more and more upset that Mikey wasn’t coming back to bed, because he was just positive that he had screwed himself earlier by making what he hoped was a funny sarcastic comment.  So….as so often happens, I came up to the forefront, angry because my child was in pain.

It winds up that Lola had followed Mikey to the room, unbeknownst to me or anyone in this body, talking and talking and talking and talking.  Well, Mikey led her to the office, so the incessant idle chatter wouldn’t wake us up.  I stalked into the room, angry, but quiet for once.

So finally, I told Lola that I was angry with her because she hurt "my kid".  They asked if it was Betty.  I grudgingly said yes.  I still have feelings and fears, too, you know, and I was afraid that everyone would move to defensive mode if they knew it was I they were dealing with.  Lola apologized, but I don’t think she got the point, exactly.  Mikey apologized, but I tried to convince him he didn’t do anything wrong.  Let’s just see if he got that point….stubborn-ass-I-gotta-be-wrong Mikey.  I love you, though, you nimrod!

This stupid left ear is hurting.  Somehow, I managed to scratch my ear canal.  I have no idea HOW….who would?!!!!!  I don’t go around shoving sharp things into my ears.

And on that note, I had to laugh!

I’m out, and all is well, My Key.

My Mikey, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,

Your Jack
