...I am now on vacation until monday.

I am on vacation until Monday, but rest assured my faithful followers (all 2 of you) that I will be posting during this time. The kids are on spring break, but the boy got sick. Because of this, I have my daughter for the next four days. I have never had this kind of alone time with her before. I am really looking forward to it. There is so much that we are going to do.

I set up an appointment with Ilana to get her hair done, I'm taking her clothes shopping, and then taking her out to dinner in the new clothes. I'll probably try to find a pretty dress for her. She's my little girl. I'm going to make sure she has a fun day. I know that most girls would have killed for one on one time like this with their father. She's been gone from me for too long, and I think I need this time more than she does.

Other than that, we're going to wing it for the weekend. We already started having really great conversation on the way home. We talked about how the cats have new homes now, what is going to be on the menu for the next few days, and vampire monkeys. You read that right. Vampire...monkeys.

When confronted with questions, I had to call my two best authorities on the situation and we ran her through a litany of questions.

1. Is it more a guy that's a vampire with a monkey tail, or more monkey that happens to be a vampire? A: guy with tail
2. why does he live in a tree? How does this work? There is nothing to protect him from the sun. A: He lives in the trunk
3. How the heck did he get a tail? A: Scientists injected him with goo labeled "monkey"

This conversation went on for about 45 minutes. The rest of tonight might have been the best conversation I've had with her in almost 3 years. It was great. 

I'm going to hate going back to work on Monday. 

Today was better because I love my bug even more now than I already did.
