Anybody Want a Dog??

When I got up this morning, there was a garbage all over the kitchen floor.  A garbage bag that I thought was out of the dog's reach just wasn't.  Worse, there were two piles of doggie poop on the kitchen floor, and poopie paw prints that made a trail across the kitchen floor.  I was NOT pleased!  AFTER I got everything cleaned up, THEN I fed her royal highness.  She knew she'd been bad...

This afternoon, Meg and I took the kids to the Children's Museum.  (Everyone in Indianapolis had the same idea!  The parking lots were full...and the temps and wind chills were wicked!)  When we got home, a little after 5:00 PM, there was ANOTHER garbage mess on the floor--this time from a McDonald's bag that had been left on the table with absolutely nothing but paper trash in it.  And the dog had the gall to beg at mealtime!  (She was roundly ignored.)  If anyone reading this has any desire for a pooch, I have just the canine for you!

Obviously, my sick grandchild bounced back like a rubber ball.  As of last night (Tuesday) there was no indication that she had been ill at all.  Gramma, however, was pooped!  Robin ate normally today.  What a difference a day makes!  Whatever upset her stomach didn't affect the rest of us...and we ate the same things she did.  She must have picked up a bug in the world, somewhere.  I fully expected Ryan to come down with it, but he didn't.  We dodged that bullet--I hope!

This evening, both children went with Grandma Judy to buy Robin some Easter shoes.  We thought Ryan was going to be with Grandpa Phil for the couple of hours, but that didn't happen.  Hence, they were home even a few minutes early.  Robin was so excited about her Easter outfit!  Ryan, of course, isn't into fashion...so I'm not sure he gets it...  He is, however, such an absolute cutie--not nearly the social butterfly that his sister is.  He's a man's man!

The two hours or so that the kids were gone were enough for me to catch a nap...even if it was too late for that.  It helped.  And I'm still up...

One of my dear friends, Ryan (KB9RAF) reports that his mother-in-law (who lives with him and his wife) is not doing well.  She has been taken off dialysis per her Living Will, and will be made comfortable.  I feel for them all.  Please send your prayers and energy their way.  Ryan, let me know what you need.  I'll be there.

On that note, I'll hit the sack.
