I'm not sure if I've had writer's block lately or if there is just nothing interesting going on in my life. Its probably the latter…

Caitlin's newest interest is running around the house with underwear on her head. I'm not sure where she learned this. Or why she finds it so fascinating… but she does. She just stretches them on, with her face peering out of a leg hole and giggles and giggles. I really can't be serious when she does this because her laugh is so infectious.

Gracie had her surgeries – spay and declaw – last week and has been recuperating. She's doing great. A day after we brought her home, she was jumping on top of the refrigerator. She didn't want to come down, of course. She was pretty gimpy for several days. Just now, at a week out of surgery, she is starting to walk without a noticeable limp. I am happy to see that because the limp was giving me major guilt. I keep telling myself that we had to do it because she was ripping everything – including me and the kids – to shreads. She is also getting her spunk and attitude back.

Our high temp today was 70… in January. So, of course, we have a tornado warning because 70 degrees in January is never a good thing. I'm hoping that I can make it home tonight without being swept off to munchkin land. Wish me luck.
