Daughter #1 had her wisdom teeth out this morning.  Everything went well – it is amazing how differently the sedative and now the Vicodin affected each of the girls.  D#1 is in much more of a stupor – although it is looking like she will be less swollen.  She is all set up on our sofa – pillow, blanket, remote control …. if her mouth weren’t throbbing, she’d be enjoying herself.

It is very hot and muggy here today – a good day to be stuck inside with the air conditioner going.  Just a few years ago, I would tough these days out – shooing the kids outside. 

I used to be a friend to the earth. 

Those days are over.  I still recycle and turn lights out.  I use a mulching mower – and try very hard not to use paper plates.  I have a compost pile.  I give bread crumbs to the birds.

But the air conditioner?  it saves my sanity, our mother/daughter relationships, my marriage ….

thanks to Oregon Trail for providing this insomniac with a 3:30 a.m. chuckle!

Yesterday was a crazy day here at Chez Swine.  It was D#2’s birthday — my baby is 15!!  Between running her around to flute lesson and riding lesson, doing the grocery shopping, cleaning, having my wisdom tooth removed and yoga I barely had a chance to sit.

SiL has proclaimed herself immune to Mr. Poe’s charms.  She has further requested that I post a picture of Bridget and Daisy. Normally I am not only stubborn, but downright contrary about requests like this, to know me is to love me. 

However, it just so happens that I did get a very nice picture of Daisy the other day and also one of Nick.  SiL is right about one thing – Daisy is the very best one of my dogs. Nick is quite an evil cat – that’s why we like him!
