Fiona the Foster Pug

Isn't she cute? That's her tennis ball. Good luck taking it away from her, unless you use the words "let's play FETCH!" She will chase it till she collapses. I have never seen a pug fetch before, she's amazing! Just got her spayed yesterday, so she's a little pissed off at me right now, but will be going to her new home in two weeks.

A few months ago I found out that I had a hyperactive lump on my thyroid - which was causing all sorts of mood swings, weight loss then gain, my hair was falling out, and I was (and still am) so tired. So I went through a radiation treatment a few weeks ago to try to kill off the hyperactive lump and am waiting to see if it worked. I couldn't be near the kids for a week because of the radiation! And I sadly gained no superpowers. At least no new ones...

Evie started reading last week! She got really excited about these Hello Kitty early readers we ordered from school and just sat down and started reading them to me! It was amazing! Exactly one month before her 6th Birthday. I'd like to attribute it to a month of Kindergarten, but I think it was those 3 years of Montessori that really did it. So far Kindergarten work has been pretty boring for her. But she loves all the friends she's made and is excited to go every day!

We went to the opera to see Salome last weekend and it was so good! Big orchestral pieces that drown out the singers, and Salome writhing on the floor making out with John the Baptist's bloody severed head at the finale. I have only seen one other Strauss opera and that was Elektra 10 years ago in DC. That one wasn't quite as shocking.
