A Worried Wednesday

Today was a hectic, busy day…Mommy working at home and away, Daddy trying to catch up with many undone tasks, both preoccupied by concerns for a sick little girl. Bodhi, you are so obviously feeling sick, and it shows in your eyes, you precious little angel.

Both of you, Bodhi and Buddha, had a special treat today by having an opportunity to see both GiGi and Grandmoo! GiGi called early this morning after Mommy was off to work, to check on how Daddy was getting along with watching a sick little girl and an energized little boyJ She volunteered to come by and help look after the two of you and attempt to give Daddy some time to try to get some work done.

You both love to see GiGi, and you perked up, Bodhi, when you saw from the living room window when GiGi parked out front. She helped play with the two of you and then helped feed both of you lunch, by then Mommy had come by to help get the two of you down for a nap, by then Bodhi you’re excitement had worn off and you were again a very sick little girlL Buddha, you made up for your sister’s loss of appetite and GiGi marveled over how much chicken noodle soup you ate!

After naptime, Daddy took our sick little girl to the doctor, and learned there really isn’t much that can be done with your virus-related illness, other than Tylenol and liquids and rest. By the time we got home, Mommy was preparing for the arrival of the very nice subcontractors working on getting your playhouse into position in the backyard—that project took hours and Grandmoo stopped by to assist Mommy and the two of you had your second special treat with spending time with Grandmoo while Daddy again attempted to get some work done and Mommy made dinner, gave babies baths, and later got the two of you off to bed.

GiGi and Grandmoo are special blessings to all of us, and the two of you adore both of them. It is a joy to witness the happiness they bring to the two of you, even a very sick little girl.

Finally, the day and night began to quiet down, but still the noise of a worried Wednesday fills the heads of Mommy and Daddy---there is no worry like the concern over a sick child! Rest and dream magic filled dreams of happiness and wonderment, and know the two of you, Buddha and Bodhi, are loved beyond words!!!

PS Aunt Ti... I just got home from working and settled in, I'm getting ready to text you.

Bodhi's attempt to play... she lifted her oven to give it to her brother!  She didn't feel like cooking dinner for Momma tonight :(

Poor Baby!  This was pre-bath... you looked, smelled, and felt much better after Mommy gave you a warm bath!

"Sissy, you must really be sick to let me have your oven!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!  This will be the best imaginary dinner ever!"

Buddha didn't like his Sissy not feeling well!  You were so worried about Sissy-poo!



"Momma, does this mean I'm going to get sick again too?"  "I just got over my sinus infection!"



Bo pulled herself together enough to go and check out her Bodhi Christmas tree :/

What an ordeal!  We had to shovel out most of the leveled gravel and we ended up using bricks.  The guy couldn't get his three-wheeler to maneuver it.  We have great big giant holes in our yard.  The outside will have to be landscaped and fixed up real cute in the spring.  Now it's on to winterizing the inside, adding some insulation, installing a cat door and weather stripping, some comfy cat window seats, and all the other bells and whistles to make Boy kitty and Girl Kitty comfy.

New location.. a little crooked but much better than in the middle of our backyard!  Bodhi's and Buddha's Animal Rescue house will be up and running in no time! :)
