My dream of getting a bigger vehicle probably got nipped today. Todd took the van to get detailed since he has to use it for business the next couple of days. He was told it would take a couple of hours for a minivan. Well it took 4 hours for mine. Yep. I live with pigs. And it just so happens that I have a whole litter of them right now. I kind of looked at it like emergency rations. In the house we have to have water & food for an emergency. We could have probably lasted a week with all the rations in the van. Unfortunately, Todd doesn't think as creatively as me.

Took the kids for their visit. Knew they would see grandparents but don't usually hold my breath for mommy. KK immediately starts questioning me repeatedly about who they are seeing and where. She has never done this before. She becomes sassy & naughty. I got our case manager on the phone with speaker phone & asked if they had a time out spot in the cps office. She said they did. She didn't mention the "big time" time out spot or jail that is right across the street. Luckily KK fell asleep. This has definitely been a very rough week for her. Tomorrow she has her dental work. Hope it goes smoothly.

Camille was back to dance today. I think she's missed every class in 2011 because she's been so sick. She was thrilled to be back.

Borrowed the neighbors full size van. It's like driving a bus. Bad thing is that it doesn't even seat any more people than my minivan. There's just lots if dancing room. The last time I rode in a van like that, I was a pampered princess with the back seat all to myself. Stretched out with my book, sugar babies, and no one to bother me. Did I mention that was 30 years ago? Now I'm the driver. And I am a very good one at that.
