Turbulence

Well, I survived last weekend helping to take care of Michelle's quadruplets and now hope to survive the next week with Melody missing her 4 favorite friends. She plays with the quadruplets everyday.... ONE WEEK!!!! Does anyone know just how long one week is to a four-year-old? So far, it has been one day and she is already going crazy without them. Things are a bit worse for her little brain to wrap around because I just got back from having to go to St. George on business. She won't let me out of her site. I think she is secretly scared that I am going to leave her for longer than 3 days. Michelle, you might have to bring her something back so that she forgives you for taking the kids away from her for longer than a few hours, and you might have to bring me something back so that I will forgive you for leaving me with your psycho cat that thinks I am its lover. Yes, you all heard me, the cat is so enamored with me she dares to venture upstairs when the quadruplets are awake and strung out on caffiene just to find me, sit on my lap, lick me like a dog, and purr so loudly she could wake the dead. Nothing like a "bass-ackward tabby" fur covered shirt to brighten my day. If you are out of those sticky roller things when you get back Michelle, it wasn't my fault.

Anyway, I posted the headline here as turbulence and I think that is how my life feels right now, turbulent. Melody didn't deal well with me being gone and when I got home I found out that Kai, our geriatric black lab, has an aural hematoma. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a blood pocket in her ear flap and it is very painful. Everytime the puppies came near her, she growled and threatened to attack. I was hoping to have today to rest and get over the fact that the plane ride home last night was so turbulent I puked. I've never been airsick before. Anyway, I realized this morning that relaxing was not in my schedule. Melody kept waking me up this morning to make sure I was still at home, still loved her, and to ask me to please get up and watch Disney Channel with her and play video games. I had to get Kai to the vet before she had it out with one of the puppies and I had a much bigger vet bill on my hands. Got Kai to the vet and went to pick up Melody from grandma's during a birthday party for a neighbor so that took a while to pry her away from the cake then went to Michelle's to give the "bass-ackward tabby" an insulin injection. I'm finally stopping now to rest. All of my days for as long as I can remember go something like today where I don't stop running. I don't think these days will ever slow down. Maybe I just thrive on chaos and without chaos life would be too boring for me to thrive.
