Man of the House!!!

Daddy deserted us---well kind of! Daddy had to leave Thursday night because Grandma Dale had a big big boo-boo and needed to have surgery Friday morning. So Daddy did what any good son would do, ditched his wife, kid and dog and ran off to take care of Mommy! (I really don't mean to sound sarcastic---I really do understand the importance of taking care of Mommies) Since Daddy was gone, it was my responsibility to keep Mommy safe. One executive decision I made was to ship Bella off to Uncle Carl's house...well, maybe it was Daddy and Mommy's idea. Daddy was worried that having Bella and me would definitely put Mommy in an early grave--her allergies have her hacking like there is no tomorrow. Plus, Mommy has been having to work late and she wouldn't be able to pick Bella up from the doggy penitentiary before it closes, which would leave Bella in the slammer through the weekend.

Anyway, I did a real good job off taking care of Mommy and Sebastian and Rufus helped too. For my part, I hogged the whole bed Thursday night. Sebastian and Rufus both growled at something outside the window for a very long time---Mommy never did figure out what it was. I kept sleeping because I figured Sebastian and Rufus had it under control. Mommy took me to the Baby Penitentiary Friday morning---something she hasn't done in a very long time. All the prison guards were surprised to see Mommy since she has not taken me to school in FOREVER!! Anyway, Mommy got me a breakfast from Burger King to soften our parting at the Baby Penitentiary---apparently she still has vivid memories of the morning guilt trips I used to put on her. Mommy had forgotten what an ordeal it is to get me out the door and safely deposited in the Baby Penitentiary and is extremely grateful that Daddy has taken over this duty and even more grateful that despite all of my antics, he continues to maintain this duty!

Mommy and I had some Friday night fun. We even called Daddy over the computer so I could see his face! Guess who else's face I got to see??? I got to see Grandma, who was up and moving around, and Aunt Teri!! I talked to Daddy and Grandma over the computer but I was being rude and did not talk to Aunt Teri.

Saturday I escorted Mommy to Grandma's house so I could see in person that she was okay! Sure enough, Aunt Teri and Daddy did a good job taking care of Grandma and she seemed to be in good spirits. I think Mommy was worried that I was going to be a dufus and bump Grandma's shoulder. I may be three but I can tell when someone has a big big boo-boo. To make up for my rudeness, I was very chatty with Aunt Teri. Mommy and I stayed a few hours and then we drove back home so I could resume "Man of the House" duties.

I got to see Jessica today. I think she got done with her job a lot quicker than normal...maybe it had something to do with me not being under foot the whole time. Anyway, Daddy came home this afternoon and we are spending some quality time together. Bella will be home tomorrow and I can't wait!!!

Well that is all for now! Oh wait, no it is not...My BFF Carter is getting placed in a different Baby Penitentiary. I want to go to a new school with Carter but Mommy won't let me. Someone needs to tell Mommy that I have to go to a new school with Carter because he is my BFF. I realize I have my BFF Jeter but he ain't Carter!!
