It's Never to Early.....

Here's some new news- it's still grossly hot here.  We finally got a great big rain storm tonight that flooded our backyard again- it's the return of Lake Goedel.  It wouldn't have been so bad except mom didn't get around to raking up all the mesquite tree bean pods on the ground and they blocked all our drainage holes.  Oh well, at least everything will get a nice soaking.

I haven't been up to much lately.  I am mentally getting ready for Christmas.  Everyday I ask mom and dad how long until Christmas, I tell them about how we have to decorate the house and then I tell them that Santa and dad will bring me present because I'm always a good girl.  I sure hope the real thing lives up to all my expectations.  I already know what I want for presents- cars and Transformers.  We made a trip to Target on Sunday and I was walking, walking past all the sparkly pink and purple girly things when I was stopped dead in my tracks by the display of Transformers.  OH MAN!  I really, really wanted a transformer.  I'll bet if it was just me and dad, I would have gotten one but mom was the ever predictable party pooper and told me I'd have to wait.  Bah!

Tonight, while mom is getting me to bed:

Mom:  What are the bedtime rules Jordan?

Me:  Keep my door closed.

Mom:  What is the big light rule?

Me:  The big light is off.

Mom:  What is the sound machine rule?

Me:  It stays on.  You have a lot of rules mom.  Good night."
