Busy Busy

...we're still embroiled in "the trial that would not end". Hopefully, all will be over tomorrow, but it could possibly last longer. Who knows. I'm busy logging 12 - 15 hour work days, and could not do it at all without the help of my wonderful sister, Aunt Dot. My back has been holding up, but is nowhere near 100%.

I came home tonight to find Dot sick...fever and headache. Of course, we lay all blame at T's feet. We're certain that she carries all kinds of bugs from daycare. T's nicely built up a resistence, while me and Dot quickly succumb to all ailments. She's off sleeping, now, while T and I are watching KungFu Panda and practicing writing our letters.

Poor T's princess dresses are still out of reach for the moment. She as to prove that she's a good girl. "Sorry" just doesn't cut it anymore. T now has to prove she's sorry with actions....good girl actions. If T takes one more bath without incident and is otherwise a good girl, she'll earn her precious dresses back tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Dot has a big ol'turkey in the fridge and will be cooking up a storm on Thursday. My parents will be coming over and we're hoping to lure Great Aunt Connie down from Ft. Lauderdale. Our plan is for me and T to go to a parade in North Miami in the a.m., then drive up to pick up great aunt connie and drive back. That will conveniently get T out of the house and out of Dot's hair while she slaves away in the kitchen. Aunt Connie... its up to you...we can drive you back home after lunch/dinner (again conveniently getting T out of the house) or you can spend the night with us for a little change of scene. That's totally up to you. We'll be in touch.

What will be interesting, will be to see how I fare when dot jets off to Manila again next week. I'll be on my own for 3 weeks or so, and am praying T doesn't incapacitate me in the meantime. Let the wagering begin!
