Christmas Chaos
I've become used to the quietness of my life, and the moment I show up to my sisters I understand how truly silent it is.
I showed up to 4 dogs (3 damlations + 1 whippet) and 4 kids ...
* Allie: 8 with an attitude
* Michael: 3 and full of no-no-no and mommy-mommy-mommy
* Matthew and Jessica - almost 1, curious, able to crawl and only moments away from walking
At this moment ... all four children have strep throat, 3 ended up catching Scarlet fever, 3 have a stomach bug and two have rvs or something like that (a nasty cold-ish thing). And michael decided, after the advil hit, to run around frantically and slip giving him a black eye, split and fat lip and a loose tooth.
On other news, Sasha (Carol's newest dog) is coming home with me for a trial run. I don't really want another dog and would never voluntarily chose a dalmation, however she is:
* unable to make it up my sisters stairs (so is trapped in the family room)
* will only get better with back surgery my sister would not chose to pay for (everyone has their own budgets for how much they will spend on a pet)
* one of the sweetest dogs on record.
We've agreed to a month trial, and if it doesn't work I'll fly her back to reno (Carol's house will work but mine might be a better choice)
