Shake Yaw Booie!

My little clowns. The girls were feeling festive this past week. Tabs and Mist made carmel corn yesterday and I must say–it is WAY too good! We added a little Fleur de sel, to make our own gourmet salted-carmel corn.
Today was a day of very mixed emotions. I left this morning before Tabs had been to the doctor, with what I thought was a kidney infection. And I had to present this morning for my class–but was reluctant to leave my baby Tabs.
However, Tabs is at home now, on antibiotics and feeling considerably better than last night.
Last night I took her and Pip skating, only to have Tabs run out of energy and collapse on me in exhaustion and fever. I was at a loss as to what was wrong with her. I’d been treating her intestinal upsets all week as though she was allergic to milk. So, I tried my handy urine test strips last night and sure enough, they showed white blood cells and protein in Tab’s sample. I was a wreck all night worried that she’s had an undiagnosed kidney infection.
Was up early this AM as I had class all day and my group presented our talk on “Online Reading.” I felt good about the whole thing and believe we did a great job. AT least I felt good in my new Hillfiger skirt and Fluvoggs.
Arrived home to find a nude Pip, she had refused to get dressed for her sister Mistaya.
Tonight, is my last relax night for a while. It is full steam ahead on my term paper after this. If only Peter could join me in the relaxation but he is full-full steam ahead for his dissertation in Vancouver on Wednesday.
At the moment, my nudie Pip is throwing her ball around the room, nearly taking out my computer, and singing, “Shake yaw Booie!…Shake yaw Booie!”–aka: shake your bootie.

    Funny but we do a mean ‘Shake yaw booie’ here, too.
    Misty in these pictures, she is Hart through and through. I am looking at adolescent MJ….
