seems to be the running theme in the McCawley household lately. Poor Eva picked up a stomach bug and had a barfing incident yesterday. Poor baby, she was just so upset! Her little tum was hurting all afternoon and she was exhausted. Needless to say, a movie and resting on the couch was called for. It’s 8 am and she is still asleep, on a SCOOBY day, so she must still be feeling a bit under the weather. Not only was the poor child sick yesterday, but we had to cancel a playdate with Maggie and turn down playtime with Isaiah. End of the world for a 4 year old!

Babbling, blowing raspberries, belly laughing and vigorous rolling are the theme of the day in Charley’s world. That child is just so bloody cute I can’t even stand it. As I type, she is blowing a raspberry, followed by yelling dadadada babababa, grinning at me, grinning at the couch and chewing on her finger. This morning she fussed when daddy left the room! I can see it happening already, I’m getting shoved under the rug again. So much for mama’s girl. I can’t wait for everyone to see her in just ONE WEEK!!!! I can’t believe it’s been 7 months already. She changes so much every week. Right now, she’s getting pretty chubby and I just love those little fat rolls. I squeeze ’em to make her laugh! I’d do anything to make that child laugh. It’s just the sweetest sound. She and Eva love playing together and Eva is just so patient and sweet. I wish I could videotape 24 hours a day so I wouldn’t miss a moment.

Murphy’s Law has apparently invaded my life, much to my chagrin. Lately it seems that anything that could go wrong DOES. And I seem to have lost the ability to even get irritated about it. I’d rather just roll over and play dead. At least I seem to have a sense of humor about it. Wonder if that will last through my root canal on Monday. I sure hope Murphy moves on to someone else before this trip home next week or my plane might end up rerouted to Siberia.

Well, gotta go work out.
Luv,
tiffers!
