She’s on to us Moms and Dads
"You have fun! I know it! Aaayyyeee" was screamed down at me for an hour tonight.
We cooked. We ate. She soiled the floor with food. She played. And then she took a bath and brushed her teeth. We cuddled in bed and I excused myself to do chores and promised to come check on her.
Darla wanted to come too. She was sure I was reopening Club 54 or inviting the cast and crew of Mickey’s club house to my living roon while she was stuck in bed.
"You have fun , I know it!".
Yes kid. Dishes are washing and the laundry is washing and more of it is drying while I am on my knees scrubbing yogurts from under the kitchen table. It’s hard to drink this martini while I am layering pork chops and cream of chicken soup in the crockpot for tomorrow’s dinner.
You are on to me.
In a minute I am going to sort your long pants from shorts. .. it will be just like snorting coke.
When I was done , I found she had taken her pajamas off and fallen asleep like this.
Oops
You cant hold the entire container of ice cream on a spoon without dropping some

Our bandage collection
Two Hello Kittys , Mickey , Disney Princesses , Dora , Kermit and regular band-aids.
Party in my first aid kit!
Spooky thumb
The nail is turning black and it still looks beat up. We wrapped her thumb in gauze then decorated it with band-aids. Darla thinks it looks like a ghost, hence “spooky thumb”.
