The Horde's Status

Wasn't Genghis Khan's group known as the Golden Horde? Too tired to look it up....

The group downstairs is having a 'color guard intervention', or something like that. They might be making a list of things that they think should change... or something. Eight girls are in the room...two are dancing together in the hall...one's in the bathroom....and one's alone in the storage room. (I hope the neither of the ones that are alone aren't the one girl who came because her mother said she should. She's not particularly popular, and things like that always tug at me.)

We told them they need to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. We didn't specify, and they didn't laugh.

Tomorrow, we'll have French Toast and coffee available around nine, and cereal around eight thirty. Anyone who wants to have toast or English muffins is welcome to have at the toaster oven -- we'll point out where the stuff is. I'm going out around 730, ostensibly for church, and I'll pick up the papers and some orange juice - somehow, we ran out of most of it, which is a bit of a bother when the French Toast recipe for tomorrow requires two thirds of a cup of it.

And around ten, they'll be gone, and my daughter will be exhausted. And in a perfect mood to go to church at 11. I can hear her already.

Meanwhile, the cat's here in our bedroom. We'll keep her either in here or in the master bathroom. I hope she doesn't make her displeasure known.
