parenting tip #568

never EVER hold a funeral for a kitten for the benefit of 9 and 7 year old girls.
particularly when the 9 year old is special needs and the 7 year old is a drama queen of epic proportions.

don't do it.

it ain't pretty.

it took an over sized bottle of red wine for me to recuperate...

RIP sweet Callie.

Oy vey on a cross!

I am sorry about the kitty and sorrier that you had special needs and drama hell.

Thank God for RED wine!

I'm so sorry for Callie, your girls and for you. It's tough to know what to do in that situation. Mr. Roger's book, When a Pet Dies, was always a big help to me in those times.

Wine is good too.

Hi there, and yes, now I'm wondering what happened to you. It's been too long since your last post and no reply to my email.
I'm thinking of you and will check in again when I get back mid Aug.
Please be well.
