Random Thoughts

So Parker has been teething quite a bit and getting a little miserable at times. We try to put her to bed a little later, but she's still waking up crying in the middle of the night. During the day, she's so strung out tired she doesn't know what to do with herself. We're trying not to drug her before she goes to sleep, but it's tempting..... I'll also note that this change coincides pretty directly with the fact that I let her fall back on her head the other night - Hannah says I'm taking too much credit. She thinks it's constipation. How do parents ever really figure this stuff out?

In other news, Durham still smells like skunk. A woman told us tonight that her dog smelled for a year after it got skunked in the face - which is exactly where Durham took it.

Squats is still living in the basement. She ventured upstairs once and met the dogs. It was a scary moment she doesn't care to repeat. We got her a scratch post/bed thingie and covered it with catnip - she LOOOOOOOVED that. She's kind of a junkie for the catnip. She's also a lousy hunter. Hannah was playing Xbox the other night and a mouse scurried across the floor right in front of Squats - who just watched it and didn't move a whisker. Probably because she was high.

dude, i didn't realize you had this...

Parker is BEAUTIFUL!

If you think she's constipated, take her temperature. Besides fining out her temp, it'll definitely get the poop out.

Um, I'm sorry. I care about Parker's crying and stuff but I am a little alarmed to hear that the basement where I slept a week ago is filling with scurrying mice. What if I was attacked?! You need to train Squat to at least be intimidating to mice. Jenny
