Inevitable

Guess what happened this weekend?

A) We found Johnny and Sydney curled up together napping peacefully.

B) Owen said, "I love you, Mommy."

C) Owen woke up at 7:00 am and he was happy.

D) Owen cursed for the first time.

E) We three Linkers are all healthy.

Drum roll please....

A) Nope. The war of the roses between our furry friends persists. Our 13 pound cat continues to torment our 50 pound junkyard dog. Owen has taken to chasing Syd around the house so at least she's getting a taste of her own medicine.

B) Again, no. But Owen does tell his Bubbe that he loves her whenever they talk on Facetime and it's really quite sweet.

C) This is mostly true and very, very exciting. Owen did wake up this morning around 7:00 am which is like noon in pre-kid years. As for being happy, I think that crying may be his way of saying, "good morning."

D) Bingo! Honestly, I'm surprised that it hasn't happened sooner. Last night Steve called Johnny a F***** after he jumped on my belly.  Owen repeated the expletive clear as day. Oops.

E) I wish. One of us has pretty much been sick since Thanksgiving. It currently sounds like we all have SARS.
