like I needed another reason...

...to dislike the cat.
Last night I had gone upstairs to put my PJs on. I close the doors behind me in an effort to keep the cat and her dander out of the bedrooms. I come out of my room, turn left to start down the stairs, and nearly collapse at the top because Mrs Pettibone was laying in wait at the top of the stairs. OK, no harm no foul, but by the time I get back to the family room the cat careens into my right lower leg, almost wiping me out a second time.
We're in full blown Halloween prep, Mayra is all set to be Tinker Bell, the weather is predicited to be decent. Mom and or Dad are coming down Friday night to hand out candy while Mayra and I are out trick or treating. I still have to buy candy - details, details.
Yesterday we carved a Jack O Lantern. I tried to talk Mayra into an immitation one, but she wanted a real one. She decided toot sweet that scooping out the pumpkin guts was gross. I was less than thrilled to do it myself, but to be honest, I got it done quicker myself. Mayra drew a cute cute face on the pumpkin and I cut it out. Naturally, the camera was at work.
Today it is gloomy. Mayra has been taking her Claritin (doctor recommended) faithfully, but she still hasn't been sleeping well the last few nights due to congestion.
we had cancelled riding class last week in favor of a trip to Inner Harbor with my parents. This week, she slept so poorly Friday night, she just wasn't up for an hour long car ride at 8am, so we stayed home again. By 9:30 she was feeling better and ready to go, but we couldn't get an appointment by then.
Today we are both thrilled because Mayra got invited to a birthday party for one of her favorite classmates.
