- it feels nice to be somewhat useful again since being drugged up throughout the past week.
- i should have brought hawaiian salt with me so i could rinse out my mouth in the bathroom.
- taking percocet when you're supposed to be focused, task-oriented - oh yeah, and awake - doesn't marry too well.
- i miss this chick:
even though my in-laws would be only too happy to take nahe while i was out for the count after my wisdoms were extracted, i kept her home with me. with the limited time that i have with her on a daily basis, i decided that my extra time at home would be best spent with my opihi next to me. here's a few updates on my little monkey...
- she is two and a half years old now. very bright and sooo very naughty...as two and a half year olds go.
- she is able to drink from a cup, but only wants to drink from her specific sippy cups. and she drinks a LOT, which leads to peeing like a racehorse.
- she is very affectionate...loves to cuddle and kiss and tell me that she misses me - even if i've been with her all day long.
- she is her brother's copycat. when ahonui gives our family prayer, she mimics him word for word - which drives him nuts.
- she is very unlike ahonui. whether it's dancing, counting, or tattle-telling, she must be the cutest, the loudest, and the center of attention.
- she eats from everybody's plate of food. she'll eat her own food, then once that's done, she'll be a little nomad and move on to everyone else who has any kind of sustenance in their possession.
now that i'm back at work, i'm eager for that moment when i get to kahuku, open the door to my in-laws, and hear "mommy!" and the pitter-patter of her little feet as she runs into my arms. absence is making this heart grow fonder. the thing is, i didn't think i could get any fonder of this girl.
