We've been on a roll lately, starting with Mr. Fix It's sinus infection, which became Who I's double ear/sinus infection, which became a cold for Who II just in time for grandpa's visit, which became a cold for Baby Who, which became a cold for Mama Who that she ignored until it became a sinus infection two weeks later. But thanks to the amazing Monica at the local drugstore walk-in clinic, I now have pretty pink medicine. Bless you, Monica! (No, that was not a sneeze!)
Then there's the cat. This is the formerly free cat, rescued from a certain online classified ad site. The dog in a cat's body who is much more pleasant than her bitchy feline counterpart, who has decided that under no circumstances will she accept this interloper -- even though she's been here seven months.
Puppy cat has developed a hideous intestinal virus that has prompted spontaneous pooping and various other atrocities everywhere EXCEPT the litter box. $400 later, we've ruled out everything but the gut. We have two antibiotics, kitty Immodium and tonight I stepped in crap. Mind you, I have $4000 worth of new carpet that mercifully she has not hit -- yet. But I'm starting to panic. Especially since I. stepped. in. poop. Yuck!
So you have 5 illnesses among humans, 1 cat illness, 1 visiting grandpa who did not see us at our best. Now throw in a hectic weekend: swimming lessons for big Whos, a 2-year-old who spent the weekend apparently on speed, a daddy-daughter banquet that Who II freaked about and refused to attend, and Mama Who's madness in schlepping the Big Whos 90 minutes away to a concert after a sleepless night.
The good news amid the chaos: Baby Who can sing her ABCs almost perfectly! And let me remind you -- SHE IS ONLY 2!
At least someone in the family has brains.
