"IT'S $12,000 DOLLARS IN OHIO"!!

IT TOOK ME A WHILE, BUT I FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT MIKE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER (HE MEANT 12 degrees).  HE IS SAYING MORE AND MORE THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE (AT LEAST TO ME).  PRISKA & PRESLEY WERE PLAYING WITH ONE OF THEIR STUFFED ANIMAL TOYS, AND MIKE MADE THEM STOP.  HE ASKED ME "WAS THIS DOG ALIVE BEFORE"? I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE MY EARS-AND TO TOP IT ALL, IT WAS A LITTLE PIG PUPPET.  MIKE WANTS TO GO TO BED EARLIER AND EARLIER-AS SOON AS IT GETS DARK, WHICH AROUND HERE IS ABOUT 6PM.  THAT WOULD BE OK IF HE WOULD GO TO BED BY HIM SELF, BUT HE WANTS ME IN BED WITH HIM.  HE SEEMS TO BE FORGETTING WHAT HIS NIGHT TIME FOLEY IS OR DOES, AS NOW HE ASKS ME "WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THIS"?  I NOW HAVE TO ATTACH IT FOR HIM AS HE SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED AS TO HOW THE THING WORKS.  YESTERDAY WE BOTH WANTED TO MAKE THE MORNING MEETING, BUT WE WOUND UP LISTENING IN ON THE PHONE.  IT IS JUST SO HARD FOR ME TO GET EVERYTHING DONE BY 9AM OR SO-THE TIME WE NEED TO LEAVE FOR OUR MEETING.  NEXT SUNDAY WE WILL START MEETING AT NOON THIRTY, SO THAT WILL MAKE OUR LIVES SO MUCH EASIER.  I FEEL SURE WE CAN START MAKING THE SUNDAY MEETINGS AGAIN.  THE WEEK END WAS NICE, MIKE WATCHED A LOT OF BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL, BUT COULD NOT REMEMBER WHO WAS PLAYING WHEN I ASKED HIM.  I THINK HE JUST WATCHES NOW OUT OF HABIT.  I'M NOT SURE HE GETS MUCH OUT OF THE GAMES ANY MORE, OR EVEN UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS GOING ON.  I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT MIKE CONTINUES TO BE HAPPY EACH DAY, AND ALWAYS ASK IF I AM HAPPY TOO.  HE WANTS TO HELP, WHICH IS SO NICE, BUT I HATE REACHING FOR A GLASS OR A PLATE THAT IS DIRTY AND MIKE HAS PUT AWAY.  HE SOMETIMES WILL LOOK AT A GLASS AND SAY "THAT LOOKS CLEAN" AND WILL PUT IT AWAY.  I TRY AND TELL HIM THAT IF ONE THING IS DIRTY IN THE DISHWASHER-EVERYTHING IS DIRTY AND NEEDS WASHING.  BUT IT IS NOT WORTH UPSETTING HIM OVER, SO I CHECK THE DISHES, AND PUT THEM BACK IN THE DISHWASHER WHERE THEY BELONG.  WELL, IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST, MIKE IS UP AND FED, AS ARE THE DOGIES, SO I GUESS IT IS MY TURN.  HOPE YOUR WEEK IS WAS PEACEFUL & SAFE-TILL TOMORROW-JUST ME
