MC, can't say it enough. Duckling is very lucky to have you in her life.

Thank you.

I am... If I am still around.
Get this. It has been over twenty years, but the neighbor was an approved foster parent.

Okee doke! I get a call earlier today. I was completely confused about when she would be back. I figured she would be here when she got here. I thought she would at least be here when the poults arrived.
5:20 I get a call that she will be here as soon as she is fed. It was after seven (bedtime). She hadn't had a nap (no surprised) hasn't pooped in days (gee, this is a familiar problem when I don't have her) HAD NOT BEEN FED!!!! She won't stop crying, and she has an allergy cold.
Her father leaves, and I realize that she stinks of cat urine (neighbors/her grandmother and 2 aunts) is sticky and her hair look like it hasn't been washed in a week. Honestly, it is possible that she hasn't been bathed in a week.
She can't stop crying even with M&M's in her hand (she was doing great potty training, but stopped two or so months ago. It was supposed to be a reward!). Let alone a blueberry muffin. Dancing wasn't working. She actually thought it was fun to sit on the counter while I tried to clean her up for the night. After a few minutes I gave up. She was filthy, and HAD to be bathed. Tears and all. So, down the hall we went. And the wailing began. She cried through her bath (I had to wash her face repeatedly to remove caked on snot between bath and bed) and I brought her to her room. With a sippy cup. Another thing I don't normally do. The kid was miserable. Rules go out the window! Siting naked in my spinning chair didn't make her happy, and getting to be carried naked didn't make her happy. This was bad!

She's had another growth spurt, and her night clothes weren't fitting. A shirt and diaper had to do. Powdering her umm... Yeah. Powder. made her stop crying for a second. Then it was straight to bed. When she is this tired, she WANTS to go right to bed without stories!
Count to ten, and she is asleep.

For those of you that remember my knee hurts, bath time was interesting. I got into more positions...

Thank you.

Sorry to hear she came to you in bad shape tonight.

 

[rIrs roost]

Maybe.

Have you iced your knee? Any better? Probably not after taking care of duckling.

Imma get off of here for a while. Sweet dreams to those that go to bed before I get back.
