Swiffer and the Spoof

Today I'm working hard on my dissertation and Shayla's reading and playing her wii, but we have had a small amount of drama. OK, enough drama to make us walk out of the vet's office and break down in our van crying that Shayla's bunny probably isn't going to pull out of this. He has pasteurellosis and pneomonia with lung lessions. His breathing isn't right. Currently, Shayla is nursing him - IN MY KITCHEN! Frankly, I could care less, I just hope he lives! The ground out in the backyard still seems fresh from burying Mia (her deceased guinea pig) in August. Shayla loves that little bunny and isn't ready to turn him over to Christi yet. Christi named him Swiffer, but I want to keep him here with Shayla if possible. I keep telling myself there are kids dying in hospitals right now, this isn't a big deal, but I'm still down.

We did the unthinkable. We took Shayla to see Heidelberg's performance of "High School NON-Musical" - a spoof on "High School Musical". Because Shayla takes dance three nights a week at Heidelberg she had been noticing the posters advertising the students' play.
She didn't come right out and say she wanted to go, but I'd walk with her past the posters and she'd comment about it. I didn't think I could take her alone, knowing it was so close to "the end" for Christi, so I was grateful when Shayne said he'd like to go too.
I'm so glad we all went. The play was absolutely hilarious. (Christi would have rolled with laughter!) I loved sitting beside Shayla listening to her constant laughs when she'd catch one of the many humorous parts. I continue to be amazed at the high-quality productions Heidelberg puts on, all for only a few dollars for a public ticket, typically with MANY open seats. We are so fortunate!
